This is the key. The question is not whether the contrast is higher or lower, the screen is darker or lighter or the colour is more vibrant or duller. It is whether it is acceptable to you. And here comes into play a personal and subjective assessment that technical data does not provide. That's why I always say that personal experience is irreplaceable (I also decided to buy a colour e-reader after watching a video in which I was convinced that it was acceptable for me, according to the way I use it).
When you read the reviews of Kaleido 3 by those who were sceptical about the colour technology you find that many were surprised and changed their views on it. With all the caveats that it is important to point out, they agreed that Kaleido 3 was acceptable to a wider range of users. And that is a view I share. There will be people for whom it is not good enough. I understand and respect that. But many others will also be pleasantly surprised. Those who have doubts will have no choice but to try a colour e-reader themselves and decide whether it is for them or not.
