Amazon Kindle Colorscreen Review – A Good Start on Color Display

This is a review of the Amazon Kindle Colorsoft e-reader. Here’s a summary of the main points:

Pros:

• Best color E Ink screen available
• Comprehensive ebook store with robust selection of comics and manga
• Wireless charging, USB-C connectivity, and 6.8-inch display make it convenient to use
• Good performance and responsiveness

Cons:

• Expensive (starts at $329) compared to the standard Paperwhite or Kobo Libra Colour
• Color accuracy not as good as LCD or OLED displays
• Limited features compared to other e-readers (no stylus support, basic note-taking capabilities)
• Sideloaded content may lose color when transferred from USB-C

Comparison with the Kobo Libra Colour:

• The Kindle Colorsoft has a better color E Ink screen, but the Kobo Libra Colour is cheaper ($219.99) and has page turn buttons
• The Kobo Libra Colour allows for sideloading of ePUB files and color PDFs, which show up with actual color when copied over using USB-C

Recommendation:

• If you’re already a happy Kindle user, consider the 12th-gen Paperwhite instead (no need to upgrade to a color screen)
• If you want a compact color e-reader with access to Amazon’s ebook store and robust selection of comics and manga, the Kindle Colorsoft is the best option
• However, if you don’t care about color accuracy or want to use content from other sources, the Kobo Libra Colour may be a more cost-effective alternative.
