The colour is pretty intriguing since I do read comics/manga/graphic novels, and I realized the other night my Aura is apparently extremely picky about which USB cables it will actually connect to any of my computers with these days.
But the Colour models are only really 150 dpi. The claimed 300 dpi is poorer than mono eink because each pixel has a permanent red, green or blue printed dot on it, but not filling it so that screen isn't too dark. But it's still a lot darker.
The colour eink is a backward step if you mostly read novels. Any matt screen phone or tablet is better than colour eink. for colour.

Thus currently the only good choices for novels on Kobo are the Clara BW 6″ and Sage 8″. There is no current mono 7″.
