  I have owned 5 kobos over time, and just love them.

    This one is my second but the first one is still working fine many years later. I just wanted color.

      How is the color? I've been told it makes the screen less sharp, is it noticeable?
      I kinda want one, been using a tablet for comics lately and it's nowhere near as good at night.

        The color is a trade-off. It looks more or less like newsprint: a little faded, but still capable of some lively imagery. It also means that black and white pages aren’t as high-contrast. The “white” parts (that are really never fully white on any e-paper display) are a little less white, meaning it’s not as sharp and you’re more likely to need to turn on the backlight or to turn it up a couple percent.

        I’m not too bothered by the trade-offs, and I like it when I can see things in color. It lasts ages even with the backlight on low, so that’s not a major problem. It also includes pen support and USB-C, so all in all I’m perfectly happy with it.
