The weird thing is I don't think the Kindle is a loss-leader for Amazon anymore. I really wanted a Kindle Scribe Colorsoft, but $700 is a tough pill to swallow when iPad Air costs far less. But I still can't buy into the iPad as a notebook replacement with the current tactile feel and glossy display

5 is fixable, 8 is fixable via side load, 10 is also fixable but just seems inconvenient for you, 11 might not be a you issue. seems you might be too invested in the kindle ecosystem. can i ask why you didn’t just get a colorsoft?

Each to their own. I like to see my comics in colour and I've never once been in a room where the backlight has felt too dim. I will however be a gatekeeper and proudly state that the Clara Colour is still significantly better value than the Kindle Colorsoft; extra storage, wireless charging, and no

Eu tenho o Kindle colorsoft e tinha um paperwhite 4 e de um para o outro houve uma evolução sim, tela melhor, possibilidade de deixar a tela mais amarelada,o sistema está mais rápido, etc. Mas nada muito grandioso não na minha opinião, apenas pequenas mudanças.E eu acredito que o Kindle está cada ve

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

They’re just going to keep sending you shitty products. Did anyone even see how they handled their Kindle Colorsoft release? The screens had a yellow band across them and they just kept taking old one backs and sending out new broken ones. For a year. You’re dealing with a company who is so big they

I was hoping for a reply like this! I only found out a week ago, when I was beginning to research Kobo. I upgraded my Kindle recently to the Colorsoft, a fine device, but there are some things I'm still not happy with. I have been out of the loop for years. My KLC arrives tomorrow, and this tidbit a

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

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
