I've preordered it even though I don't tend to read comics. So it's only for the covers and occasional illustration or photograph in a book. Sure it's an unneeded luxury, but for those of us that are in the Amazon ecosystem and need an upgrade (I'm still using my original Oasis, which cost $380 in 2016!), it's a nice upgrade.

The only thing I'm slightly wary of is if the text for normal reading isn't as sharp as my Oasis (I've only seen one person who tried the Colorsoft at the press event mention this on YouTube, but everyone restates it on Reddit like it's fact). I figure good hands-on reviews will be out before it ships, and thus I'll have decent info on whether to keep the order.
It;s not a luxury. It's a downgrade given what you say you read. The text will be darker, less sharp, and you'll need the light on when you would not need to otherwise.
