What I have trouble believing is that a software upgrade can fix the yellow strip issue, so delaying shipments on that account doesn't make sense. I can have gadget lust, but I've never felt the need to be an early adopter and this brouhaha is a case in point. Why not wait for a second run? Short of a pressing need to replace a dead device, why not get along on what has served reasonably well thus far? Certainly I'd wait on the first sale, because I'm cheap that way. |

Amazon is making the Kindle worse then they've ever been with the 2024 releases and what they are doing with them.

Edit: Shipping date for an order has now moved out to Nov 20-29. I'm sure they are going to replace defective ones first. Last edited by drofgnal; 11-06-2024 at 05:29 AM. |

I currently read on a rooted PW4 using koreader. When this dies, whatever I buy will run koreader without having to jailbreak - probably a kobo.
I have a fair number of non-fiction books with color illustrations/photos, so I would be interested in a color eink device. I also have some PDFs which need a bigger than 6" screen (mostly from Univ. of Chicago). I currently use a cheap, 10" android tablet for these, but I have a couple of problems with it - it is heavy, and I have to charge it every day if I'm reading on it. So the next time I am in the market, I will seriously look at any color eink reader with a (more or less) 7" or larger screen, that can run koreader out of the box. |

I voted the fourth option, though a few others might apply - I'm not planning to upgrade or replace my Libra H2O, but if I ever do so in the future I'd consider a colour device then. Maybe they'll have something better than Kaleido in a few years.

My Colorsoft arrived a week ago but I was traveling and didn't have a chance to try it out until today. I don't have the screen issue that others have been complaining about.
My current guess is that most people do not have a problem, and that the complainers are far more likely to leave negative reviews. There's really no way for anyone but certain people at Amazon to know how common the screen issue is. |

The lack of buttons is not an issue if you don't have an issue with your cell phone. You just use the Kindle like you do your cell phone.

I'm not a Kindle guy. But I bet I would be fine with the Colorsoft as is. But I do understand the wave of disappointment as well. |
