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?
Haven't tried the colorsoft but I switched from Kindle oasis to kobo libra colour and far prefer Kobo's UI and the extra options I have with using it with Calibre, also kindle doesn't support libby in Canada and the colorsoft doesn't have buttons so it was never a good option for me.

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

1+ month user - Review of Note Air 5C
Thanks for your experience. I am also a new owner of the NA5C. I've had it just over a week now, and while I still have a little while to make my decision on whether to keep it, I am conflicted. The dim screen that requires the the backlight to be on almost all the time and the general laggyness of

kobo ereaders
I wanted a color ereader and that was before the disastrous ColorSoft launch, so I switched to Kobo and I think so far I’ve found one book that wasn’t on Kobo which I discovered was because of Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited exclusivity clause which only applies to self-pub/indie authors (which is why you

Kobo Libra Colour not working for me
My Kindle Paperwhite is pretty easy on my eyes and pretty smooth. My Kindle Colorsoft is sometimes fun, but sometimes gives me a headache when I try to zoom in when reading a graphic novel. If I don't have to zoom in, it works okay. I have cataracts and Fuch's Dystrophy and the Paperwhite makes it m

Does anyone regret getting a color ereader
I had a B&W Kindle, I first purchased a Kobo Libra Colour and was disappointed, I purchased Kindle.Colorsoft....now I purchased a Boox Go 10.3 Lumi Color e-ink is not for me. Too granular, too greish, constant need of brightness. If you want to read novels, there.is.really no need of color e-ink. Fo

Bottoms Up
You're welcome. I've tried most all of them too, and always just found myself removing them in a few minutes. Arguably, I didn't give them a chance, but this simple KOReader Raw™ setup is what I prefer :). For me, nothing beats the Quick Menu for accessing settings, and I like to keep things simple.

Best colour ereader for comic/manga?
NXTPaper14 has been by far my favorite for both. The size was much larger then I wanted but ended up being great for manga since those don't support guided view so its the most enjoyable way to read manga by far (as some one who originally read them on my 6 inch kindle voyage). The color eink and bl
