I still have my OG backlit kindle. It's showing its age with a tiny tear that lets backlight through, but I'm still pushing through books on it. I'd be curious how these newer E-ink displays have improved, wonder what the refresh rate (hz?) is on them.

From what I know the improvement is minor but noticable. There is less ghosting, a bit more contrast and it's more reactive to the touch. The newer models can even play videos half decently (i.e. you can somewhat understand what's going on on the screen)
