Yeah, it’s the color screen. The Kindle Colorsoft has the same drawbacks. All color e-ink screen currently do.

I think only bullet point 2 matters here the most. Don’t let people gaslight you that the Kaleido 3 is an OK screen when it clearly bothers you. It is an amazing screen for those who don’t notice the screendoor effect, but if your eyes are sensitive, it just makes it unusable. I have a Kindle Oasis

I actually did and received mine yesterday, and the Scribe is going back to Amazon today. Background: I owned a RM2 for a few years, fell in love with the device and bought the RMPP on day 1. I've been less enamored with RMPP as there are a lot more little things that annoy me about it, but still us

Yes, but not with all books. I'm using an older version of the app and it doesn't support some newer books with new formatting that where published after April 2025. For those I've an older kindle basic that I use to download and then add in Calibre, de-DRM for now works this way for the new format

From my understanding it has to do with the color e ink screen, mine is the same compared to my kindles (even the colorsoft is darker than my paperwhite)

I’ve been struggling with the Colorsoft. I find I have to adjust the warmth and brightness with a frequency that’s a nuisance. The battery also drains fast. I read for the whole day after Christmas (8ish hours) and it went from fully charged to dying. In comparison to the Paperwhite, which took like

I have a Kindle colorsoft, kobo clara color and, a kobo libra color. The kobo libra is my favorite for comics. It has dropbox and Google Drive integration and it supports cbz files natively. That means that I don't have to fool around with trying convert my comics or copy them from my computer if I'

I had both, and kept the KLC and returned the Colorsoft Frankly I just like the Kobo OS much more and love that I can mod and customize it freely with no hassles. Also feels good not giving in to Amazon’s monopolistic Kindle ecosystem, but that’s a whole other discussion separate from the quality of

I switched from Kindle to kobo and prefer kobo. It has a better UI, no ads anywhere, and overdrive integration. I downloaded all my kindle books before Amazon got rid of the download feature, so they were easy to de-drm with Calibre. I'd advise that, even if you stay with kindle, you download and ba

The point is the devices are FINE nothing wrong with them they just want them to upgrade. IMO i justice got a colorsoft last year first kindle or ereader ever. Been using the app. Wish I knew about the other devices and the issues kindle give before I got mine or I might have gone the other way Edit
