Reviewer Prefers Kindle Paperwhite After Revisiting Colorsoft
A reviewer revisited the Kindle Colorsoft to see if their view of it had changed.
They have used the Kindle Paperwhite daily for years and say it has helped them enjoy reading.
The Colorsoft has a color screen, but the reviewer found it duller than the Paperwhite’s screen at the same brightness setting.
They also found the Colorsoft’s text less sharp and harder to size to their preference.
Since they mostly read books, the color screen offers little benefit in their reading and is mainly useful when they read magazines.
The reviewer plans to return to the Paperwhite.

What people are saying
It’s distraction-free, and in my experience, never a burden in any way.
the Colorsoft’s screen appears dull and lifeless next to the Paperwhite’s crisp, white screen.
I find it easier to get the font size exactly right.
