So far I love my Colour Kobo. What about you?

I’m not sure why the price I saw on 𝕏 was so low (mentioned above), but I was just taking a look at the reMarkable Pro website (https://remarkable.com/store/remarkable-paper/pro) and its base price is $629. It has the Gallery 3 display from eInk, but its dpi is only 229. Here are the specs:

Code:
Display
Canvas Color display (based on E Ink Gallery™ 3)
11.8” (4:3 aspect ratio)
2160 x 1620 resolution (229 pixels per inch)
Palm rejection
Adjustable reading light
I realize that many people here want to see higher res screens, but the KLC is so affordable compared to other color screen ereaders. reMarkable went for the top of the line eInk display, but you can buy a PlayStation 5 Pro for the cost of that cover bundle ($779).

Kobo gave us a low cost color ereader. The sacrifice was in using the older eInk Kaleido screen. I’ve used a KLC for months and I’m fine with the trade-off. Considering that most color images are displayed on their own page (even with manga), the lower resolution rarely affects the books that I’m reading with their 300dpi b&w text.

Update: Compared to the Kindle Colorsoft which seems to be using the same tech with the same specs and costs $279, the Kobo Libra Colour is still the best deal on a color eInk eReader.
