I completely agree regarding resolution, though we obviously disagree on your last point. We all experience this tech differently bc our needs are different. I’m able to enjoy and read the manga at full screen display, but the Kobo processors still aren’t beefy enough to make zooming and panning a pleasurable experience. That’s the same on all the Kobo devices I’ve had.
However, I want to highlight this second point that you made. Perhaps the color is a gimmick, as you state, but it’s a gimmick that I, too, like. I stated in my OP that I have an iPhone and an iPad. Their color fidelity, resolution, and processing power outclasses Kobo ereaders, but I still like this ereader. I don’t mind the newsprint quality of the color, and I never use my ereaders without the light on, so I don’t encounter that particular limitation of the color eInk screen.
The KLC is simply a good ereader for my needs, but I think the detracting comments are still valid. Anybody encountering this thread will hopefully find out quickly whether the KLC or KCC is right for them.
