I initially swore I wasn't interested in colour eink because I only read b/w text, but yesterday I purchased a Kobo Clara Colour.

I went in to JB Hifi (Aus) fully intending to get a Clara BW to use 'on the go' because my Libra 2 is a little big to throw in a bag, but walked out with a colour instead. I still prefer the screen size and buttons of my Libra 2 but other than getting used to that change I am not seeing any downsides after 3+ hours of use.

I was a little concerned after reading many comments about how dark it would be but have only needed to up the light by 5% (10% on libra2, 15% on clara) to read comfortably. In my limited experience so far it was worth the extra AU$20. Would the BW have been 'better'? Who knows - but I am happy with my choice.
