Upgrade : PW 11th Gen -> Kobo Libra Color ?

the libra color screen has lower contrast than pw because of the color filter layer - text looks slightly grayer. software speed is similar to kindle for page turns but library navigation can stutter. if you read mostly novels, the color adds nothing and pw wins on sharpness. for comics or color cov
