    • I have never been more disappointed in a Kindle device
Option: Without Kindle Unlimited
For the record, I have ordered many Kindle devices, both Fire and regular Kindle, and this is the first time that I have been disappointed in a Kindle device. I have been waiting for a color capable Kindle since they stared allowing highlighting on Kindle devices. I am a highlighter and make many highlights in books I read and I like to use color, so I was excited that I could have a Paperwhite that would allow me to do this. I bought two of them, one for my wife and one for myself and I have noticed the same issues on both. First the pros. In my opinion, the color is pretty well done. I wasn't expecting color like I see on an LCD/LED device like the Kindle Fire and I didn't get it. Compared to that type of device, the color is a bit muted. That's not a bad thing, it's just how the technology works. The page turning responds quickly and the highlighting works as expected. It's also a light device and after using the Kindle Fire Max 11 to read books I want to highlight in color, it was a delight to hold such a light device. I did buy the Kindle Leather cover for it and that adds a bit of weight. The cover is actually disappointing as well, but that's an issue for another review. The disappointing. When you look at the book list, there is a Home/Library selector at the bottom that has a yellow tint, presumably to separate it out from the rest of the page. The problem is that the yellow carries over to whatever book you are reading. So select a book and there's a faint yellow bar at the bottom of the screen that does not disappear with page turns. The result is that the bottom of the screen looks dimmer than the rest of the screen. If it weren't for that yellow bar, the screen would be pretty even. But it is very distracting to constantly have it at the bottom of the screen like that. There is no dark mode. I do not normally use dark mode on Paperwhite type devices because they are easy on the eyes but I thought I'd give it a try to see if it eliminated the yellow bar. Instead they have a Page Color feature that makes the background very dark grey. It is not dark mode because it is not black. Amazon does have a little blurb at the top of the product page stating that dark mode is "not currently available". Perhaps that indicates that it will be enabled in the future. Lastly, the text is... well, it's just different. I know it is 300 ppi but the text is a little bit grainy. I suspect that it is because of the color layer and it might just be how it is for these types of devices. I know other manufacturers have had color e-readers for a while but I haven't looked at any of them. Also, the screen shows some grain. It's not bad, but it is noticeable. Again, perhaps it is just the technology. The interesting The one interesting thing to me is that there is no page refresh switch on this device, or at least I couldn't find one. I thought that if there was, it might work to eliminate the yellow bar. That's not an option. The decision This is a tough decision for me. The yellow bar seems like something that could be fixed with a software update. If that's the case, I'm not sure how it was missed in product testing. It was the first thing I noticed when I started reading with it. There is a segment of the population that just uses products without looking at them but there are also many that actually look over the product to make sure that it works and looks right first. There are also people who don't even notice things like weird color tints and shifts, but I am not one of those people. So my decision comes down to whether I have faith in Amazon providing a patch for this issue and if it can even be fixed. My wife is happy with hers because she is reading the books with dark page color. I am also wondering if I will lose the 20% off if I return mine and keep my wife's. I suppose that is something I would fight Amazon for if they did it. More than likely, I will hang on to it until 11/30 and if there is no fix, I will return it. Perhaps I will wait until December and get a new one with the extended return period or I will just pick up a new Paperwhite and wait until the next generation of Colorsoft. Either way, I am not keeping a $279 device with a yellow bar on the bottom of the books I read. ... show more

    • Even If They Fix the Yellow Line Defect, Color eInk Is Still a Set of Trade-Offs
Option: Without Kindle Unlimited
Review Image by Jough Dempsey Jough Dempsey
*** The Colorsoft is currently plagued with a yellow line of discolored area at the bottom quarter inch of the screen - I'll acknowledge that defect here, hope it's resolved with a replacement soon, and base my review on the device as it is otherwise - the yellow line is subtle, but once you see it it's hard to unsee, so it's possible you may not even notice it or care about it if you do *** I've owned one Kindle or another for the past 15 years. Ever since seeing B&W book covers on my first Kindle back in 2009 I've yearned for color eInk. Now Amazon has put out their first color device (after other companies came out with readers earlier). I'd hoped that Amazon would put their resources behind solving some of the issues with color eInk displays. In some ways they've mitigated them, but there are still trade-offs over the Paperwhite SE. The Colorsoft is *mostly* just the "Paperwhite SE + Color" but it differs in a few major ways: * Color - obviously the Colorsoft can display colors and no other Kindle at the moment can. The color is muted, "soft" as in the name, but it looks better than I was expecting. Increasing the color setting to "Vibrant" (it's easy to switch back and forth) looks more color-accurate to me, and pops a little more, but it's a matter of taste. I think the color looks like a color newspaper or old comic book. It has a pleasing, gentle color, but if you're expecting it to be like a phone or tablet screen, you may be disappointed. The color layer is only 150 pixels-per-inch (PPI), whereas the B&W is 300ppi, but the color images still look pretty crisp (my first B&W Kindle was only 167ppi back in 2009 and it looks good). Image resolution isn't really one of the trade-offs. You can tap to zoom in on maps, comic panels, etc. and they look really crisp and clear. Very impressed by the color. I also cannot stress how nice it is to see book covers in color, especially on the lock screen. Because it's eInk, the color remains even when the device is powered off or sleeping. * Text Quality - here's where the trade-offs start. The background "white" page of the screen is textured with diagonal lines, almost like a denim or linen paper texture. I think it looks nice, but it makes the overall contrast between the text and background worse than the B&W Kindles. It's by no means dark or unreadable, but it's not as nice as the Paperwhite, which is crisp and clear. Even B&W text on the Colorsoft is less sharp than the Paperwhite. It's not a deal-breaker for me, and really only noticeable when comparing side-by-side with another device, but it's a trade-off. * Battery Life - because the screen is darker, you'll need to bump the brightness a little higher, so the battery life will suffer a little. Amazon claims 8 weeks of light use, but if you're a heavy reader, be prepared to charge once every couple of weeks. It's not really that big of a deal, and the wireless charging stand is nice (and charges through most cases too). But it's much less than the Paperwhite, that you can literally charge like 5-6 times a year and be good. * Weight - not really a trade-off between the Colorsoft and Paperwhite, because they both weigh about the same, but if you're coming from an Oasis or basic Kindle, you'll notice that the Colorsoft is heavier. Build quality is pretty good considering it's all plastic. It feels solid and the fit and finish is nice. * Speed - early reviews said that the Colorsoft is slower for page turns than the Paperwhite. That may be technically true if you're talking in thousanths of a second, but page turns are so fast the text changes before your eyes can move from the bottom back to the top of the display. Even color page turns, that require a full page refresh, are much faster than old Kindles used to be just to turn B&W text. The entire UI is snappy too. Opening books is fast. Scrolling your library is fast. I suppose turning pages in a color graphic novel on the Colorsoft is slower than the B&W version of the same book on a Paperwhite, but once you're reading I don't think you're going to think about it being slow. It's just a bit slower, certainly slower than page turns for plain text pages, but still pretty snappy. Reviews that say turning pages requires a couple seconds are just wrong. It's closer to half a second. Should you wait for the technology to improve before jumping into a color Kindle? It depends on your patience. Color eInk displays have been available for several years now. Amazon put in some work to mitigate the "screen door" effect of seeing an overlay on top of the black & white text, and compared to the other major color eInk devices, there's definitely less of a moire effect on the Colorsoft. But how long will it take for a major leap in color eInk technology? Five years? Ten? In the meantime, it delights me EVERY TIME I see the book cover in color, and reading on the Colorsoft screen is pleasant, the device is fast, and it's more pocketable than my old Oasis, which is wider (if not a little shorter). ... show more
