Then I have been seeing comments that latest kindles do not have the Download and Transfer option on the amazon contents page which bothered me.
So, for now, I have canceled my trade-ins and canceled my Colorsoft order completely. I may change my mind again in the future once I see comparison videos or see one in person at Best Buy. But for now, I am passing I think.

Here is a rare hands-on with the Colorsoft, that specifically addresses how it compares to the B/W Paperwhite.
