Macro shot of the Kindle’s e-ink screen and text rendering.
It’s also clear that the globule flipping is approximate, at least in this early version of the screen technology. That’s why there are random black dots in the “white” areas (that’s not dust) and why some of the pure-black pixels have an occasional white dot hanging around (like the big one in the lower-left curve of the “e”).
I hope they don’t fix that. I haven’t seen a Kindle 2 IRL, but from the looks of that photo, the display looks delightfully organic and paper-like :)
