Great reading resource. You must use internet to use Hoopla, etc which is very slow. Love the reading light. Lots of storage. Battery life exceptional.

Bit the bullet on this one after having the original kindle forever. I love it and love how you can make the cover of the book the lock screen 10/10 so far.

After extensive research all year on whether to get a tablet or an e-ink device for my increasingly digital reading habits I finally pulled the trigger on this version of the Colorsoft and have been enjoying it thoroughly for the past month. I read a mix of novels and comics, and the Colorsoft has proven to be the right choice. While not as large as an iPad or similar sized tablets, reading comics is a pleasure on the Colorsoft thanks to what can probably be best described as "newsprint" style color reproduction. This works great for comic books from the 1990s and earlier decades. Newer comics like Batman: Hush don't fair quite as well, but are still readable, particularly with Kindle's guided view for comic book panels. You will need to turn up the backlight to read and enjoy comics but it's worth the battery tradeoff. IMHO, it was worth spending the extra money on the Colorsoft for my mix of reading, but if you are a strict novel reader I would probably recommend the Paperwhite instead.

Very easy on the eyes and battery life is amazing. As for color, IMO, a gimmick unless you like graphic novels in color

This is actually my first Kindle. I have only used Nook and Kobo in the past. The lighting is even with no bars or gradient. The color aspect of it is as expected and it’s lightweight. However the home screen is too crowded and junked up. There is also no direct access on the device itself to my local library ebooks available (like Kobo offers). Overall, it’s a great device with a couple of cons. I’ll keep it and use it alongside my Sage.

Hi Mulan33! Thank you for your feedback about the Kindle Colorsoft. I'm glad to hear you're pleased with the color display quality and lightweight design, which are key features of this device. I understand your concerns about the crowded home screen interface and the lack of direct access to local library ebooks on the device itself, especially since you've experienced the convenience of this feature with Kobo devices.
Regarding the home screen organization, you can customize your Kindle experience by adjusting your view settings—tap the three dots menu on the home screen and select different sorting options (Recent, Title, Author) or switch between Grid and List views to reduce visual clutter. You can also create Collections to organize your books by category, which helps streamline the home screen by grouping related titles together. To hide recommended content and promotional materials, go to Settings > Device Options > Advanced Options and disable "Home Screen View" recommendations if available in your region.
For accessing library ebooks, while the Kindle doesn't offer direct library browsing on the device like Kobo, you can still borrow library books through OverDrive or Libby on your smartphone, tablet, or computer, then send them directly to your Kindle via the "Read with Kindle" option. Once borrowed and delivered, library books appear in your Kindle library just like purchased content. You can also visit your library's website on a browser, borrow books, and have them delivered to your Kindle email address for seamless access. Thank you for sharing your balanced perspective on the device's strengths and areas for improvement.

This case is beautiful, more than practical and fits my new Coloroft perfectly. It's a good value, reasonably priced a This is made of top quality materials. I have used a Kindle from the 1st release and always purchase a case. This case has a very secure hand-strap and also can free stand. I highly recommend this case. I love it!
