The video screen on the Kindle

Bookeen, a French company specializing in electronic reading lights mounted an E Ink Pearl, known to equip the latest Kindle can display H.264 fluids. The same screen that has cruelly high refresh rate on the Kindle and flashes like a beacon as we move from one page to another can now play H.264 video standard.

Mean by that there is no need for a particular filter or a special optimization of the media file. The processor used was a Texas Instruments OMAP3621. Consumption is only advertised as being identical to that of an LCD is not backlit, but we have an accurate measurement. No information either on its availability, but we expect the new generation reading lights should be out later this year.
