A lot of YouTubers raved about the Kindle Colorsoft as having much better color than the Kobo. I actually prefer to color screen of the Kobo. I don't read manga so the only time I use color is for my library covers. I think the Kobo is clearer. The Colorsoft is so dark that when it is asleep I can't even tell what book I am reading by the cover on the lockscreen. A small thing for sure, but I noticed it.

I also prefer buttons. My Nooks are by far the most comfortable to hold and read on. The only reason that I didn't buy the Kobo Libra Colour is because I change hands frequently when I read. I hate having to rotate my reader every time I change hands. (I learned this on the Kindle Oasis) With the Kobo Clara Color I can set the touch zones so I can turn pages easily with my left thumb.

All that said, I love the color screens and my Kobo is my current reader of choice. However, if Barnes & Noble releases a color Nook, I am sure that I will buy it immediately
I was actually just out running some errands and I stopped by B&N and looked at the GL4+. I really liked the form factor and larger screen. Unfortunately, they didn't have it set up in a demo mode, so I couldn't really play around with it. From what I've seen in reviews, it seems like the main complaint is the software is slow and clunky. And that using library books is a pain. How would you rate the user experience compared to your other readers?

And with your color readers, do you find that the display is worse than on your Nook when it comes to the reading experience?
