I understand you fully. I switched from an oasis 2nd gen which I loved dearly. I made the switch back in February when Amazon removed the download books option from their website. I tried different e-readers from pocketbook and kobo. I settled with the kobo as it offered better syncing options with

If you need colour for images, then perhaps. If you read mostly text, then stick to black and white. I have a PocketBook InkPad Colour 3. The colour screen is alright, but black and white eReaders are just much better for reading at the current state of eInk technology.

PocketBook InkPad Color 3. Colors aren't vibrant, they look like printed on a newspaper, but it allows me to read comics on the go and that's enough for me. It weights more than other ereaders, tho, so it's really unpleasant to have it fall on one's face when reading in bed.

My first e-reader is a Kobo Clara HD (6 inch, 300 ppi) that I got second hand for 20 bucks last year. It's served me well but the battery is pretty much toast; it completely dies once it reaches around 85% and then takes over a day to recharge and goes through a factory reset, so I basically have to

I have an iPad and I'd recommend getting the Clara for books. I've also got a Pocketbook Inkpad Colour 3, which has a 7.8 inch screen and sometimes it feels too small for comics and manga, I've also got an old Kindle Oasis, which has the same size screen as the Libra Colour and I personally find it

8" InkPad 4. For manga applies the bigger the better, I use it daily for reading manga. Even bigger devices would get less handy and you would have to look into Android ereaders (of which there are a couple out there). The colour tech unluckily has disadvantages for colour content, for manga (and bo

There's a point in the setup process where you can connect the device to a PC, add a line to an internal file, reboot it and get straight thrown into the so called sideload mode (but in this mode you won't have a homepage anymore, just your library - everything not store related will still work, but

This gets a bit complicated, especially If you never had used a colour and a black & white ereader. And especially because returning a device will just cause hassles I guess. You should first decide if you want a colour ereader or a black and white one. This is not just about colour yes/no. The only

If that doesn't come to fruition, check out the PocketBook InkPad Color 3, it's a 7.8 inch color reader. I've been using the InkPad 4, the B&W version of the same thing and I've been enjoying it.

The question colour or not can only be answered by yourself, and you already did it. If you are willing to accept the disadvantages, try it out. Even if you find people who agree that it's worth switching to colour, you could be disappointed, and even when I tell you I would never buy a colour devic
