they need to make the colorsoft in the oasis footprint and call it the oasis colorsoft. I really like my oasis buttons.

Great, honest review. I have the ColorSoft and I’m enjoying it. I do have a yellow tint on the bottom of the screen, but it doesn’t really impact my reading experience. I’m going to wait to see if a software update addresses that issue. Outside of comic book reading, I feel like those who annotate will enjoy the ColorSoft, as you annotate in 4 different colors.

Dude, if you can’t see the yellow band at the bottom of your screen, you may have some vision issues. It is very prominent in your video.

2.6 out of 5 stars with 1, 004 ratings. This Kindle Colorsoft is getting dismal reviews. One bad review after another. The one star reviews far outweigh anything else. Amazon really screwed up on this one.

This may sound lame but I would pay the extra money just to have book covers in color. It may have something to do with the time in which I grew up. Back then you had to go to a physical place to get books. And if you didn't live in a big city with a huge bookstore, you never had any idea of the huge number of titles you simply had no access to. Books were something you physically valued and every aspect of the actual item was part of the experience. Even something as simple as the cover. (Same with albums, tapes and CDs, the cover art is important to me.)

I think the yellow bottom tinge has created a mass hysteria. The Colorsoft is amazing. Probably overpriced, but all in all a wonderful device.

I’ve seen so many reviews where people are putting this next to the other models, and even in black-and-white, the text is noticeably blurrier. Mainly due to the type of screen they had to use for the color display. If you put it side-by-side you can see it easily so I’m quite shocked you hadn’t noticed that. As others have mentioned, due to the really bad reviews I would never consider this for myself.

April Update: I just got a colorsoft and I love it!!! No yellow banding. Would recommend.

I guess I'm confused - If he's been using it for a few days, and the battery has already dropped to 35%, how is this thing going to get anywhere close to 6-8 weeks?

At 8.27 you can clearly see the yellow band / fade at the bottom. If you squint your eyes, you can see it.

Color EReaders are really for specific use cases, if you read graphic novels, manga, comic books, Kids Books, and very dependent on color highlighting, etc. then the color EReaders are a positive/enjoyable experience but if you only read books that are text heavy (and do NOT highlight passages) then color might be a luxury or a trend setter item but not a necessity.

Never been this early for a video of yours ahaha

I am about to buy one, but seeing the delivery delays….i am a bit worried it wouldn’t arrive before Xmas.

[kevinpaje]

Thanks for this. I almost forgot to never buy the 1st version of any electronic device. I guess I have to stick to the latest Paperwhite, instead. It's just disappointing that the front panel is still black even if you choose a different color of the back chassis 😮‍💨

For just £40 more, you could get a basic iPad with a larger screen that has far better vibrancy, contrast, and brightness for reading comics. For reading straight-forward books in black and white, Kindles are definitely a better experience, but for comics and graphic novels, iPads are a better option, in my opinion.

Interested to hear more about the battery life! Mine seems to drain sooo quickly, even when leaving it in airplane mode.

Great review, I wish they offered it in the matcha color like the kindle basic.

[bonanzabrandon]

My Colorsoft unit has very noticeable yellow tinge at the bottom. It seems to be a wide spread issue.

[Chelsea_Rene]

I feel like why the Colorsoft is getting so much hate is the price. It is over priced for just color.

[JonDisnard]

It not just good for Comic books or Manga, it's absolutely great for people who highlight their books. I like to highlight great quotes from prolific authors, and not all quotes are the same. But it's that a killer feature with all the Nope!

[GaryMartinDobbs]

I'm eager to get one, but going to wait for teething problems to be sorted as for a cheaper deal.
