I bought one a few months ago.

Neither color illustrations nor black text are horrible, but neither is appealing except with very bright ambient light. The frontlight just does not make the display comfortable for me. Even in bright light text is a bit pixelated and any text in illustrations is fuzzy.

I mostly paged through (but did not read) two books on the Inkpad Color, Factfulness by Hans Rosling and Immune by Philipp Dettmer. The filled in color illustrations in both look much better on the Inkpad Color than on a standard black and white e-ink screen but not nearly as good as on a color LCD unless the LCD is in sunlight.

For me, the reading UI is clunky compared to kindles, mostly because of no "back" functionality as near as I can tell and the automatic rotation detection is slow.
