First COLOR Amazon Kindle - Colorsoft Unboxing - Setup - First Look!

[@TheGlennAbides]

I will be receiving mine today. My reading is mostly graphic novels and magazines so I think it will enhance my experience. I don't think it's much of a game changer for book readers.

[@TechItBeforeYouWreckIt]

100% but it sounds like you are the perfect user! Enjoy

[@curtanthony2419]

Holding off until Black Friday sales.

[@TechItBeforeYouWreckIt]

☝🏻 smart!! But waiting can be the hardest part. 😁

[@Tytaniumm]

If something this new would even go on sale, or they probably knock the price to $249.99 at best 😂

[@d.l.t7421]

That’s what I’m doing 😂

[@JW39655]

Ordered mine and will be here Friday. Can’t wait! I sold my kindle scribe so I could have color and an easier to handle in size reading device for on the go. Super excited to get this.

[@TechItBeforeYouWreckIt]

Kindle scribe is slick, but it is big and prob not worth it if you're not writing on it daily IMHO.

[@Robert_W7]

Also going to be selling my Kindle Scribe for the colour paperwhite, and with 20% discount will bring mine down to less than half price!

[@AlexandreDonnert]

I did the same! Hope we be happy with this choice!

[@TechItBeforeYouWreckIt]

And if not... You can always sell and move on to the next. Lol We are all living the #GeekLife!

[@sarahreams7419]

I just can't justify the price 😭

[@nessiebwur]

Me either…..

[@Volkevism]

Just buy clara or libra kobo. Altho I'll admit the kindle is still superior in performance and comic experience so if you need that then maybe u need after all.

[@TechItBeforeYouWreckIt]

Agree. Wish it was 199 or less.

[@Thechoosenone41]

Dont think about it 😂 jk jk

[@MightyReader85]

It'll be on sale for black friday, just hold out.

[@1myjet1]

I have a Boox Palma, Kindle Paperwhite Signature, Kobo Libre Color and now I'm getting this. It's worth it to me just to get the color. I am trading my Paperwhite, plus with the other incentives it only cost me $140.

[@TechItBeforeYouWreckIt]

Very cool. How much do you use the Boox vs. Kindle? That device intrigues me!!

[@selvinc5625]

Yea can't wait till Friday

[@TechItBeforeYouWreckIt]

Very cool. 👏🏻 Enjoy

[@Tytaniumm]

Double the price for a Kindle with just color added is kinda crazy. It would be cool to have color, but not sure if it's is worth a 100% price increase when you'll only see the colors in books with graphics, or book covers on the home page...

[@llpqazz]

If you can invent your own colour e-ink technology and display stack I'm sure you will see that the $100 difference is reasonable given the R&D involved.

[@TechItBeforeYouWreckIt]

All of this is def true. But it's also the cost of doing business. If they knocked $75 off the price you wonder if they'd sell more Kindles... And still end up with the same profit to cover R&D costs. Also, there is def a price to pay for consumers for bleeding edge tech!

[@Tytaniumm]

@@TechItBeforeYouWreckIt Agreed! Wondering how many other people would've also purchased it, if it was priced at $200. I wouldn't have even thought about the price, I would've just bought it...

[@vajs6312]

The price difference + the fact that it doesn’t have page turn buttons doesn’t justify switching from an 11, maybe even a 10 gen kindle.

[@TechItBeforeYouWreckIt]

I'm not sure about the lack of physical buttons. Will have to see if I dig that but I have a feeling all the models will go this way

[@KindleandBooks]

Think I will wait a couple of years until the colour Kindle basic is released

[@TechItBeforeYouWreckIt]

Color screens will be the only option in a few years. Premium price for early adopters. 😢

[@ursulaoelofse4731]

A lot of people are saying that the Kindle is dead. Your opinion?

[@nessiebwur]

Screaming because I already ordered my Kobo Clara Color and just couldn’t really wait for the Colorsoft anymore because of the price anyway….

[@nins8408]

Pls show us the colored highlighters!!!

Does someone know if it has complete darkmode like the other kindles? I have very sensitive eyes 😊

[@xl5man]

Yes it has

[@TechItBeforeYouWreckIt]

@xl5man thx!

[@nh8383]

Worth the price just to see book covers in colour?. I dont know as most of the time you will be reading in black and white as normal.

[@TechItBeforeYouWreckIt]

This is a great point and also my hang up. If it was $199, I suppose it would be an easier decision, I'm just not sure most people can justify the extra cost for the color covers. If you read a lot of comic books, probably worth it?

[@alexsarbu3978]

Just to see book covers in color, no. I'm getting mine to see color content in color - books can include color images, diagrams, maps and so on. I'm not even talking about comics, although quite a few will be interested in these. But seeing book covers in color is also nice, isn't it?

[@TechItBeforeYouWreckIt]

@alexsarbu3978 it's cool but probably not a game changer for most people who simply read normal books. I imagine this will sell well to comic book fans and Kindle fanatics. I think everyone else will wait for a more budget friendly color model.

[@alexsarbu3978]

@@TechItBeforeYouWreckIt I'm not waiting, though. I'd have to wait years for either better technology or lower price (and more for both). Or go Kobo, which I don't really want to do. There's no right and wrong choice here, it's all up to what we're reading, our preferences, and how much do we feel the price.

[@zhiyinzi]

Like it, buy it right now!!!

[@jasonames7452]

I wonder if a glossy screen would make the colors more vibrant.

[@lexiearrieta]

Someone posted a comparison on Reddit with a glossy screen protector and a matte one. I noticed the glossy made the colors way more vibrant, but also more glare, so it's a trade-off you'll need to compromise

[@TechItBeforeYouWreckIt]

But glossy screen would be a nightmare when reading outside, don't you think?

[@Kevincooper220]

I would have gotten it if it had Stylus and annotation on page option😊

[@TechItBeforeYouWreckIt]

Wonder if they'll release a color Kindle scribe?

[@Robert_W7]

@@TechItBeforeYouWreckIt I'm not so sure they will yet due to limitations in the software along with the screen size of the Scribe?

[@davidcoulthard2248]

Over priced. However may still get one

[@TechItBeforeYouWreckIt]

Love it. When rational reasoning knows it's too much $ but the inner geek can't resist. 😊

[@sheri3150]

I’m still not influenced

[@deuswotan]

no se vende en México 😢

[@Robert_W7]

I'm sure they will sell it there real soon.

[@deuswotan]

​@@Robert_W7 kindle scribe nunca llego a México 😢

[@Robert_W7]

@@deuswotan Oh, really? I wasn't aware of this, sorry. As it is the only colour Kindle right now there should be more chance of you getting it real soon. Are the Kindles in general released a little later in Mexico than the UK market?

[@baygol_doegh77]

OH BROTHER! THIS THING STINKS!!

[@TechItBeforeYouWreckIt]

Are you a current kindle user? What don't you like?

[@nolongerhavetowork]

I don’t like it 😂

[@TechItBeforeYouWreckIt]

That's fair
