First impressions and a screen question…. KLC vs Kindle Paperwhite

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

Is the Libre Color supposed to be this dark?

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 have a confession…..

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

Kobo Libra Colour vs Kindle Colorsoft – Which would you keep?

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

Kindle to Kobo?

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

Best budget (least expensive) color E-reader that uses an E-ink display?

Honestly, you just think you want to read comics on e-ink. Realistically, it's not really there yet. and a 6" or 7" reader is just too small, you would want an 8' color tablet at a minimum, in my opinion. Some will say a 7" reader is good enough, but it seems tiny to me. A tablet is still the best f

Empfehlung für E-Book-Reader und Seiten zum Downloaden

Farbdisplay ist ein wenig ein Knackpunkt. Ich habe einen kindle colorsoft. Das geht zwar schon, aber es ist halt sehr matt und nicht so viele Farben zur Auswahl. Über Calibre kann man relativ gut Bücher als sideload hochladen. Notizen sind aber nicht ideal. Mich reizt dafür der neue kindle scribe co

Best comic reader; RMPP or Scribe Colorsoft?

If you’re planning to use PDFs, skip the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft. I had all my comics and magazines in PDF, tried importing via USB, and lost all the colors. And the “Send to Kindle” option has a 200MB limit which is just annoying. I use the Paper Pro exclusively for comics and magazines since it’s

Best e-reader with buttons?

I'm curious what you ended up doing for an ereader in the end? I'm the same age as you and I've been using my old Kindle keyboard since 2010! I love the buttons so much I just can't get used to a touchscreen. I've already replaced the battery once and it's draining quickly again so I'm trying to loo

Ask Me Anything About My E-Ink Tablet Collection

I got the Kindle scribe colorsoft. But for what I do for a living I wish I could load up a large (D size) PDF and zoom in to mark up with color and not have the scale of the pen size be so thick. I'm thinking maybe I should have gone for something else. What e ink would have satisfied this unique ne
