I think my Kindle Paperwhite and Scribe are great. I’m curious about color eInk in general but it would be limited practically. I’m not reading a lot of color graphic novels. If I were to buy one, the Boox is the way I would go.
Thanks for watching! I was tempted to buy a Boox reader, it’s just that I love the battery life of eink readers and a lot of that is the proprietary OS’s. The fact that it can sit in my bag or drawer for weeks without needing a charge makes it feel more like a book. Once you go android ereaders, the incredible versatility has a cost of having to charge every week.
New viewer here. (I guess the YT algorithm showed me your video because I‘m researching color eInk devices.) Interesting rumor! I have (and love) a Kindle Scribe, following various other Kindles over the years, plus a boox. If a color version of the Scribe were to be released, and if the latency when notetaking in color (using, for example, blue ink or yellow highlighter) was irritation-free, I‘d buy it in a second, and use it alongside my b&w Scribe. That said, the backlight would have to be good enough to make that an enjoyable experience, i.e. similarly bright to that on the b&w version. I‘m writing this after having had a brief flirt with the new Remarkable Paper Pro, which has Galley 3 color tech. Man, was that underwhelming!!!! I had hoped to do color notetaking, and was willing to pay a pretty penny for that experience, but the lag when writing in color ink or highlighting in color was absolutely horrible for me! So Amazon would be ill-advised to come out with a Galley 3 device. This means your take on it is probably the right one. Oh, and by the way, I returned the Remarkable Paper Pro after 2 days of brief testing. Thank goodness their return policy is fine.
Thanks for watching! Yeah, Gallery 3 technology is unicorn technology. It sounds perfect but every device I’ve seen in reality is very underwhelming. The compromises of Kaleido 3 are good enough for me right now, even though I do miss the better contrast of black-and-white devices, and being able to read easily with no backlight at all. The device that I would be really excited to see is a reflective LCD like the Hannsnote 2, but with a e-reader style backlight. I feel like if Amazon was brave enough to really push out the technology I think that’s the kind of E reader that would really wow me.
@@TheDigitalReader Very interesting comments - thanks. I wasn‘t aware of the reflective LCD technology. And I share your dream of Amazon coming up with something brilliant, though I gather their development team for the Kindle apparently no longer has any of the long-term members in it and might lack the innovative clout to do that. On the other hand, Amazon can‘t afford to lose market share to Kobo, so maybe they will at least „go color“ at some point. Time will tell, and in the meantime, we can practice being thankful for what we have. :-)
