Since getting the KLC, i've had absolutely no desire to go back to the KL for reading novels. The resolution is absolutely non-issue. B&W on the Colour screen is every bit as sharp and clear as the Libra 2. Contrast is only an issue for people who don't like to use the device frontlight. Without Frontlight, the colour screen is really *really* bad compared to B&W models. With frontlight, contrast is only worse in very bright ambient light (reading outdoors, or studio lighting.)

The colour itself is more of a gimmick. Except for the covers or very occasional illustrations, it will have very little value to reading text. But its a gimmick that I like. I really love how the colours turned out. (Yes, muted compared to lcd/olec screesn, but very reminiscent of colour print on newsprint type paper.)

But, while I sometimes try reading a comic for a bit on the device, I find that still a sub par experience. The colours look great, but the screen is still too small, and pan and scan still too sow.. I would rather juts read my electronic comics on my pc.
