I like to read other users' comments. I think the main causes of return or dissatisfaction are the darkness of the unlit screen and the dull colour. Other issues such as contrast, brightness or background graininess have a much smaller impact than you might think. In the end one has to judge for oneself whether the colour contribution is important enough to compensate for what you lose.

It's fun to have the opinion of someone who actually owns a colour ereader.
I went for a walk with my dog, thought about it, fight with my demons, and decided to cancel my order. Until next time I'm tempted.
Maybe by an Oasis Colour.
The only thing I prefer in Kobo over Kindle is the availability of book summaries for sideloaded books. And the way collections are handle with Calibre. Oh! And the sideloaded French Wiktionary.
