I finally got a chance to compare the Clara BW/Color in-person. They're both pretty good; much more responsive overall than the old readers. The touch is more accurate, and the wifi is less buggy. The light is also more even. The case is slightly thicker and more textured than the older readers. I can't decide if I like it or not.
Even with the frontlight off, the color screen is readable even at small font sizes (colored text slightly less so), and although the colors could be more saturated, they are still clear. There is noticeable ghosting with colored images, especially when switching to a mostly white page. White is slightly darker, but still much better than e.g., the mini. Nevertheless, I'd still be happy with color, except that there is a grainy noise-like overlay over white pages especially visible at low brightness.
