eInk is absolutely better for reading purposes and eye strain, but when you just want one device, the larger and foldable phones basically make that possible - phone, tablet, reader, etc.
I've read the same. I've read about an odd yellowish screen and clarity issues. I'm probably gonna wait until a few more versions come out before considering. That said, MOST of the books I read don't require color. However, my kids are REAL into graphic novels and my wife likes reading magazines.

If all you care about is sitting down and treating it like a physical book then of course the ebook is better. I'm used to much more these days.
So you don't have a TV because "why use something with the minor advantage of the slightly nicer display (for watching movies)?"
A reading experience like a physical book, *IS* he reason people buy eInk devices. Which, clearly doesn't interest you. So, other than to thread crap, why are you wasting you time on this thread
It would be an easier choice if it had a side grip and page turn buttons but Kindles are sticking with this format mostly.

I'll wait for the fix in the next gen... or pick this one up at 1/3 price once the new ones comes out
The way this works, BTW, is that they take a normal 300dpi B/W screen and overlay a 150dpi color screen on top of it so that anything in color is half the resolution. It kinda works but I'm waiting until they figure out how to do a real 300dpi color screen instead of this kludge.
Edit: no matter how much I look I cannot see a yellow band or tint. I feel like I won the lotto!

Nice! You did the work! I love my Scribe... have you used one? What are you reading where you're appreciating the color?

Yes, I have an oasis, scribe, and colorsoft lol. I traded in my voyage for this (rip voyage). Love the scribe as my notebook and portable book. Love the colorsoft to see my library in color as well as some graphic novels (there were some recent, really good deals on the graphic novel versions of Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series that look great on the colorsoft). It really is so nice to see bookcovers in color, makes selecting a book so much more fun. Now if we could only get Amazon to make finding/reading synopses much easier from the library. And the oasis is kept in a tablet holder above my bed so I can read hands-free before I go to sleep. I don't need color with that one as I will only read books on that.
