Viwoods e reader colour.

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.

Smartphone-less set-up at work

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.

Choosing my first pb

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

Moving from 623 to Inkpad Color or Verse color?

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

Influence or deinfluence me on the Kobo Libra Colour

Unless you specifically want color to read a lot of comic books or graphic novels, get a B&W reader. Color e-ink displays are so much darker when reading B&W text content, it's almost impossible to read them without the front light on, which to me defeats the purpose of an e-reader. Check out the Po

Pocketbook InkPad Color 3 or something else?

You should be hesitant with colour ereaders (I have none and won't buy one anytime soon), but in the end only you can decide for yourself if the drawbacks are worth it (no matter what other people say). Unluckily eink is very dfferent from everything else, people have very dfferent opinions about it

Seeking Recommendations for the Perfect E-Reader for Manga and download

First: there exists no perfect ereader for reading manga, or for reading at all. A black and white one will have no colours, a colour one will be worse for black and white content. And is limited to 4096 colours, compared to millions on a cheap android tablet. An Android one will enable you to insta

Black & White vs Color Screens

There are some real differences, but it really comes down to preference. Color PocketBooks (like the InkPad Color 3) use E Ink Kaleido tech, which layers a color filter on top of the screen. That means that the color mode will have lower resolution and be more muted, rather than bright like an OLED
