Ten Reasons to avoid the Kindle Colorsoft

vusleeper November 2, 2024

The reviews for the Kindle Colorsoft are in, and it’s not good. As you know, I was considering buying it before it was released, but now reading all the negative reviews, I’m definitely avoiding it.

It’s funny how none of the reviews that got free review units points out or were critical of the Colorsoft’s flaws. Can you really trust all those YouTubers or review websites? It takes getting the units in the hands of regular consumers will you see a true review of the product.

Ten Reasons to get the Kindle Colorsoft

vusleeper October 30, 2024

As you may have heard, Amazon is releasing its first color Kindle called the Kindle Colorsoft on October 30, 2024.

The device is a 7-inch tablet that use Kaleido 3 does not appear to be competing with Remarkable Paper Pro, but rather Kobo, who makes a color 7” called the Kobo Libra Colour. The Kobo Colour out in April 2024 and have been slowly converting Kindle readers to Kobo readers.

Further proof, the Kindle Scribe was Amazon’s as an answer to Kobo’s Kobo Elipsa, which is a 10” device for notetaking (but also the ability to read Kobo books).

reMarkable Paper Pro Review

vusleeper October 27, 2024

When I first saw the Remarkable Paper Pro online in early September 2024, I dismissed this because of how expensive it was. It’s about $600, and part of that price includes the required pen. Plus, I was massively disappointed in Boox Note Air 3 C due to the poor color representation of Kaleido 3.

After watching some comic book pages on the RPP, I was definitely interested buying this as my digital comic book reader! Unfortunately, as an e-reader, it absolutely sucks. The Remarkable only supports PDF and ePub, with no support for Kindle Books or CBR (the popular comic book archive format).

reMarkable Paper Pro

vusleeper September 5, 2024

Longtime readers will remember that I’m on an impossible search for the perfect color e-Ink reader, mostly for reading comic books and magazines. So what I’m looking for is a large (larger than 12 inches) device to display color e-Ink.

As noted in my review of Boox Note Air 3c (10 inches), I was not impressed with the muted/faded colors. That’s because the color technology, called Kaleido 3, is limited to 4,000 colors and sits on top of the black and white layer. The result is a much darker image. You don’t get true black and white or do you get true colors, it just looks awful, in my opinion.

BOOX Note Air 3 C Review

vusleeper December 31, 2023

As I previously mentioned, I bought the BOOX Note Air 3 C, the color eInk tablet, primarily for reading comic books. Even though the tablet was recently released in October, 2023, none of the reviewers actually touch on reading comics or magazines.

For comic book readers, you’re going to have to use the Kindle App. Several years ago, Amazon bought out their comic competition, ComiXology, and slowly dismantled the company and took their guided-view technology.

The new king of horror, Mike Flanagan, is back with his latest Netflix series, The Fall of the House of Usher. Loosely based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe, you can see elements of “The Raven”, “The Tell-Tale Heart”, “The Masque of the Red Death”, and so many of Poe’s stories throughout the series.

Weekend Gamer Update: Memorial Day Weekend

vusleeper May 28, 2023

It’s Memorial Day Weekend, which means I have this Monday off and it’s a long weekend for me. As usual with these holidays, there are a lot of sales and deals all across retailers. I’m planning on going to a few Half-Priced Books to take advantage of their 20% instore purchases. The problem with HPB is that their stocks are limited and are vastly different from store to store. You never know what you are going to see, day to day, store to store.
