Reading on a phone or tablet isn't even in the same ballpark as reading on eink. The reading experience is leaps and bounds better with eink.
I think more so where he's coming from is that it's another device. I've moved to this same boat as well. Had several kindles before, even in the process of selling my scribe, and am trying to get to a singular device platform. Will be upgrading to a Z Fold 7 here soon (Coming from a Z Fold 5), and already use that for reading, Audible, and note taking.
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.

I've had e-ink before. If you could read you'd have seen I was talking about the lack of capability (in comparison with a phone) with such devices. Being able to work while listening to a book, and then sit down and pick up where you left off is transformative.
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.
In your previous post, you said "minor advantage of the slightly nicer display (for reading)." And now admit "of course the ebook is better".
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

I am thinking about this for the kids too. Some interest in comics and graphic novels. Worried it is a bit small. We have a 10 inch Boox color device and that one seems a much better size for color content. You lose a bunch of resolution going with color content and my eyes can't read it on a 7" display. The price is nice.
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 had a Colorsoft for a week. But the less-than-crisp text really bothered me when trying to read. I returned it for the Paperwhite Signature Edition…
yes i bought this right when it came out. had the same issue and returned it for the paperwhite. i would highly recommend the paperwhite instead of the color if you are an active reader bc the less than crisp text bothers me
