I enjoyed this one too! Haven’t read the rest of the series yet, hopefully next year 📚 📚

I've been meaning to read this book and don't know why I haven't lol. I remember Cameron Chaney mentioned it in one of his videos as well and he also said it was really creepy and a good book, so know after watching your review I'm definitely going to order a copy. Another spooky middle grade series I've heard is really good is the Small Spaces book series.

I just placed an order for this one you make it sound so cool. Can’t wait to read it. I just also wanted to let you know that I did order all of Jenny Allen’s books I can’t wait for those as well. Loved this.

This made me smile so much! Thank you for reading and reviewing! I can definitely send you Book 2. 😊

I read that one awhile back. It was awesome fun and I agree. It was pretty creepy!

ngl this one was pretty disappointing.

Cool video. Never heard of Scareville. Sounds spooky. I'll have to check it out. Have a great day.

I havent read a goosebumps book for years and I miss them! I hope you had lots of tricky treaters! We did, about 3 hours of candy chaos.

Love that haul. Oh my gosh Thinner is my fave King book. The Dark Half comes in second. Loved It also as well. Loved this so much. You should sell those little crocheted animals. I would totally buy one. 😉

Oh no, I hope you're okay! Sounds kind of reminiscent of Spooksville, cool that it's that name of a shop.

Nice review

Possibly my favourite goosebumps book ever

Thanks for the recommendation! I have never heard of this serise before, I will have to check it out. Have you heard of the Armada Ghost books? I think #4 is the firts paperback I can recall reading. They are from the 1970s I think so way before your time. Internet Archive has them.

It sounds like a fun spooky story and the cover art is cool. The way you described it reminded me of Needful Things by Stephen King since it's also about a store that opens up in a small town and chaos ensues. I'll definitely be checking this book out since I love reading spooky middle grade books year round.

hello :3

I think yours will be the last review I watch for the Colorsoft. I am a very impulsive person and as soon as this was announced, it was in my shopping cart. But then I looked at my 11th generation Paperwhite, which I had not picked up in months. I have been using my Kindle HD8 for all of my reading consumption. However, that device was cracked so I traded both the PW and the cracked device for the 2024 Fire HD8 and got a matte screen protector. Reading and listening is a pleasure. My methods are reading eARCs or using the Read Aloud feature (NetGalley Shelf, sideloaded), TTS for KU titles. Then audiobooks via Audible and Libby, also Hoopla, sideloaded, as well as Libro FM ALCs. My consumption for books in many formats is huge, thus never even using my PW and being thrilled for the trade-ins.

Ohhhh! I’ve had my eye on these books for a little while wondering how they are! I’m excited you liked it!! Now to go pick up a copy….

Think I’ll read this one. Love me some short ones every now and then.

I love how honest you are with your reviews of anything. I still feel like I want to try out this color soft I hope to see another review from you with this one Love your channel so much thanks for doing this 🫶

This reminds me of The Ghost Sitter by Peni Griffin. Fantastically sad and scary book.

I’m trying to decide on Colorsoft or a new Paperwhite for my mom this year. I switched over to a BOOX device a couple years ago, and I think I’ll stick with it. I’m still not sold on one or the other for my mom’s new Kindle.

I am not a huge fan of short story compilations either, that being said I did read Night Shift recently. You should give it a read. But if you don’t want to read the whole thing, just read, I am the Doorway, and The Lawnmower Man. And maybe skip Jerusalem‘s lot, for now, until you read ‘Salem‘s lot.

I’m send you soup and rice you gonna need it you look under weight

Pretty awesome! Cycle of the Werewolf isn't wonderful, but it's fun. Love the crafts!

The best cover tbh

TOTAL horse 💩! The star rating is from people who didn’t care to do the research into an e-ink reader. So gross to ruin a star rating because YOU can’t do due diligence. I have Kindle paperwhite, Oasis, Kobo Libre Colour 2 and Color Soft. The CS BLOWS the KLC out of the water in speed, color, etc. The CS is superior to them all. Unrealistic expectations is a you problem, not an Amazon problem.

I just got off the phone with my mom and we talked for a half hour about Kindles, lol. We both have the Paperwhite and are totally happy with them. Sort of intrigued by the new color one, but I don't really feel compelled to rush out and get it.

Oh this is exciting !!! I am on my 3rd King book in a row: Salem’s Lot. Let’s see if it can overtake my favorite which is Misery !! Those are some great books !!!

I just checked on Amazon (Canada) and there is absolutely NO LISTING for the Kindle Colorsoft on all of Amazon. They took it down? I think they panicked when Kobo released their color readers and rushed their own production to release it as a competitor. Bad move.

This was almost the review that I was looking for. However, there were no final judgements offered on tolerating the background gray or the yellow tinge at the bottom of the screen. We have to wait your next review. Fair enough. Some of the comments here suggest that the Colorsoft is little different from other color ereaders. A lot of comparisons to the BW ereader are made that include matched settings and so on, so much so that the ongoing 2.8 star reviews at Amazon seem to beg for an ereader with BW and color characteristics.

I also have the Kindle Colorsoft and I think this is an issue of folks being used to a black and white ink book reader. I have spent just an hour reading black and white on it and reading a little bit of a graphic novel. If it were not for folks talking about the yellowing at the bottom of the screen I would not have noticed. I can see a trace of yellow but nothing that detracts from using it and I am keeping mine.

I think people just don’t understand color e ink. Simple as that. If you know what to expect you’ll be fine.

I went with the Colorsoft and the new 2024 Scribe. So I'll enjoy both a color formatted screen as well as a larger black and white e-ink format. It would be nice to see a larger color e-ink like a 10.3 or even a 13.3", but this is Amazon's first attempt in this new market space. And that's why it's better to start small and gradually increase. But for the market, the color e-ink is exactly as all the others -- BOOX, Kobo, etc all use the same Kalaido 3 technology, and all have the exact same issue with the screen door, where you're trying to pass light through a pigment layer, which will diffuse ever so slightly the light. Yes, you can easily compensate for this by boosting the brightness, and that will solve it. But from now on, since it's a whole new type of device, like an apple to an orange, you cannot compare the paperwhite to the colorsoft, just the same as you can't compare a paperwhite to a scribe. They are unique in their categories and fill a particular need for certain individuals. With those individuals the difference is wanted and accepted. So what we're seeing out of the reviews is a majority of people were expecting something more from the colorsoft than what they got, or they were comparing with the kindle or paperwhite, which isn't the right way to do it. You should compare the Colorsoft with the BOOX Tab Ultra C, BOOX Go Color, Kobo Libra Colour. And with them, you'll find very similar screen technologies, which major differences like Amazon was saying with the oxide backplane, which Amazon says delivers sharper contrast and better image quality on both color and black-and-white content. The screen also has custom-formulated coatings designed to do everything from magnifying color and improving optical performance to minimizing glare. When you go into your display settings, turn on Vivid mode, to enhance the color saturation.

I love my Colorsoft. Reading in black and white, the text is clear and readable. I'm also visually impaired. I was a preemie with retinal damage, blind in one eye and 20/70 in my sighted eye. I have no problems reading on the Colorsoft. Definitely down to personal preference. I do see the grayish screen tint but it doesn't lessen my ability to see the text clearly. I love having the option of color and still find the B&W reading experience to be just fine. My settings: Font: Bookerly Size:8 Bold: 2 Brightness: 21 Warnth: 3 Colors: Vivid

What are pictures like inside a book?

Colour soft is rubbish

I’m getting one for Christmas but I’m still deciding on getting this one or the signature paper white

The thing that people treat an ebook reader today just like a LCD phone or tablet with the light on all the time just makes me sad. They forget that the core value of an e-ink screen that it represent paper (which has no light on its own) and battery last forever. Now with these color e-ink screen that has worse contrast and has to use the light all the time It doesn't look like paper anymore and reduce battery life by a lot... So, It's a no for me until color e-ink really look like paper without any light on its own, I just don't want to pay for unfinished technology

I currently have 5 Kindles and I love them all. So far I have decided to pass on all of the 2024 offerings. I have the 2022 Basic Kindle in the Denim Blue color and I have the 2021 Kindle Paperwhite. My Kindles look and function like Brand NEW so for the slightly brighter display and a minimal speed increase it's just not worth the upgrade. I might purchase the 2024 Basic Kindle because I love the MACHA color but I will wait for the inevitable upcoming sale for the holidays.

I just got the paperwhite signiture edition. That haze would annoy me and if i wanted colour, i could just buy a cheap fire hd 8.

The Kobo e-readers have the same issue. They are using the same Kaleido 3 display as the new Kindle Colorsoft. Like all e-ink screens, Kaleido 3 starts with a layer of microcapsules filled with black-and-white particles. These particles are charged to move around with electric fields, creating the basic black-and-white text and images. However, an RGB filter is placed onto the Kaleido 3 display, allowing it to display color. The downside is that the display has to pass all light through this filter, making it darker and causing a screen door effect. It also affects how light appears on the display in general. It has to be lit up a bit more aggressively. So, while colors look amazing, they do come at the sacrifice of sharpness, contrast ratio, brightness, and general white light reproduction. This is because, at its core, it's still just a black-and-white E-ink display but with additional filter arrays for blue, green, and red. This doesn't just affect Colorsoft; but all color e-readers using this panel, hence the Kobos. In fact, the Kobos, if anything, are slightly even worse, as Amazon took steps to mitigate issues. Unfortunately, there isn't a perfect solution yet, as color e-ink is in its infancy compared to regular e-Carta displays used in the rest of the Kindle lineup, which are far more perfected.

I double tap the panels in graphic novels and read that yeah it drains the battery faster but I don't care. I've already read two so far and I'm loving my Colorsoft.

Ignore all the negative reviews, the colour soft is a good reiteration for Amazon. Yes it’s got the yellowing at the bottom but it’s not that bad and is going to get fixed and you can basically get rid of the issue by going to the black background and if you want the white background then turn the warmth off and go for brightness around 17-20.

There's something color I love. I just need to have it. It's like the sneakers for running not everyone wants speed racing shoes but there's something about when you run in them it's a great feeling.

I went for the Kobo Libra Colour due to the pen and you can write on the books pages, I was waiting for the Kindle colour and then went for the one that works for me the kobo is the same I have 11th gen paperwhite and it is so much clearer it's the film for the colour and I think in the next year or two they will become so much better these are the first gen of colour e-ink displays that they are going to have problems

Please review the kindle kids, I'm thinking of buying one.

I love my Kindle Colorsoft. The screen doesn’t bother me as much as everyone says. This is the only Kindle I own that matches the accurate number of ebooks in my Content Library on the Amazon website. This is the only Kindle that allows me to download ebooks without errors. I also own the Kindle Paperwhite SE 12th Gen and the Kindle Scribe. Only my Colorsoft shows all of my ebooks I have purchased. I don’t know why, but Amazon assured me that they are investigating the issue. I only have three problems with the Colorsoft. 1. The battery is pretty bad. It drains much faster than my other Kindles, maybe it refreshes more due to the color filter. I am not sure. 2. The power button is again on the bottom of the device. Why Amazon!? Why!? 3. No page turn buttons and pen support for easy highlighting. I understand that the Kaleido and Gallery e-ink technologies will improve the display and colors over time. I will buy the next version of the Kindle Colorsoft or whatever Amazon calls the next kindle with color.

I’ve been a Paperwhite user the last couple years and loved it. Like many of us was very excited for the Colorsoft, I pre-ordered, and when reviews started popping up on youtube within a. couple days of mine arriving, I was starting to get nervous but remained open minded. Once I unboxed it I was first wowed by the intro screen. It’s so pretty, and honestly the colors look fantastic, exceeding my expectations there. BUT - I guess I am one of those sensitive people to it because my second reaction immediately upon getting into the setup, was that hazyness over the entire screen. I think I audibly exclaimed “oh no” to myself lol. Then I noticed that horrid yellow hazy bar at the bottom. That was a big wtf for me. After that, I gave it a day, read on it a few hours, then decided to send it on back. For this kinda money we should be happy (and i think it should be better), just my opinion. Luckily Amazon was super cool with the return - I requested it back to my “gift card balance” instead of my CC so I wouldn’t have to wait as long for the funds, and then I used some of that to buy the new Paperwhite SE in metallic jade. Gets here Monday and I am SO excited. :D

Very hard situation to be in, we need to reviews to help educate us on products however a lot of those times at mentioned people don’t understand the technology which impacts the reviews. As someone stated, pretty much all the e-ink or e-reader devices with color have that background due to the current technology and the two screens that is available to manufactures for color. When I open a new device like this, I stop watching reviews a couple of days before, i do my best to not think about anything I heard and open the device for my own experience. I say a recent unboxing of the remarkable paper pro and the person did the same and was unconsciously expecting and looking for all the points from watching video, so she didn’t realize until later that she was looking for the problems because they had been in her head from the reviews. After she spend hours she realized how much she enjoyed the device from her own experience and most of what she tried to be part of her experience didn’t apply to her personal use case. It sounds like if you want color that’s screen is what you get or back to black and white. Over time it want even be an issue.

I think allot of bad reviews, unless they’re talking about the yellow “bar”… didn’t really have the right expectations for color eink. It’s my understanding, that the colors are really good. The contrast is better than the Kobo Libre.
