Colorsoft battery life & defect
The color trade off is so worth it in an e-reader. Setup was easy, all I had to do was connect to WiFi and sign in, my books were immediately ready for download. The quality is superb when it came to reading during the day, and using the warm light and dark mode at night to take the stress off my eyes. As an avid reader and dedicated user of the kindle, my only complaint is the battery life. I did have to return/exchange the first colorsoft because of a defect, there was a huge line on the screen, similar to crosshairs within a day of testing (inserted image exhibits). It didn’t start that way but a few hours of reading I noticed it wouldn’t go away so, I ended up getting another after dealing with a little bit of incompetence at the store, which was expected because it’s holiday season but I digress. the attendants were not very helpful asking to see a receipt before they even confirmed if they had a replacement on hand and after speaking with the manager a couple of times it turns out they didn’t have a replacement and didn’t need a receipt to confirm that, but the manager stepped in and ordered one at a sister location where I was able to pick up within the hour. With the new kindle, I find myself having to charge the colorsoft after a couple days of use, which doesn’t necessarily bother me because I’m mostly at home but I notice just simply scrolling through the store or switching through titles a few times will affect the battery by about 10-15% compared to the Kindle basic or the Kindle Paperwhite; and then reading, of course, takes up a majority of the battery life on top of that. I’m hoping there is an update that tends to battery life in the near future. Overall pretty good product. I’m happy to see my book covers in color, it brings my library to life, and comics are more fun to read. With over 200 books in my digital library it’s so much easier to just browse and manage them on the kindle and that’s my favorite part. The price was worth it being that it was purchased during the $80 off sale (I paid $164), however for over $200 I’d think twice about buying it at its regular price because it seems a little steep for just the color trade off and sub-par battery life.

In Love
I absolutely love it. I had the paper white and upgraded to the color soft and truly I don’t understand what anyone complains about because this display is great and it’s crisp and I just absolutely love it. Bring it everywhere with me. I definitely also recommend getting the protection on it just because like I said if you’re like me, I throw it in my bag and I take it everywhere with me, but 100% recommend this
