It's always a pleasure to watch your videos. I can't wait for your review.

[@anam00090]

Thanks for the detailed first impressions. Could you maybe compare it to the Page in your full review? I am particularly interested in how the screens look side by side when the front light is off - while reading and highlighting ebooks. I enjoy color coding the highlights but am curious how the screens compare in brightness and contrast. Also, any additional info regarding when the white version will be available would be great!

[@RossMcCarthy-qk3yp]

I don't get why they launched this and market it as black or white, but they've said the white one has no launch date in sight. I want that one!!

[@Sybilla9]

They're saying the white version, once it's released, will have a flush screen as well. Will have to wait and see I guess. I personally prefer the flush screen since it's more up to date looking.

[@skywalkerjedi95]

This was the in-depth deep dive video I needed for this device! I'm still going back and forth over whether to get the Palma or the Go Color. It was great to get to see all the different settings and ways you can customize how the screen displays text.

[@tomaszkoperski8273]

great review, I'm looking forward to seeing what the video looks like on this device

[@MyDeepGuide]

Thanks! I won't be testing that, as this device is not meant to be used for video playback.

[@celticchrys]

If this had a pen (and was waterproof), I would definitely buy one.

[@stevenprosser8813]

Yes! I have been looking forward to hearing your input on this device 😁🤩. I have not been able to find the right settings to completely eliminate ghosting through full refresh per page, etc. I would love it if you could test reading a comic/graphic novel on a third party app like Kindle or one of the free copies that Marvel Unlimited provides in their trial, etc. 😁. I will watch this video in it's entirety tomorrow and look forward to your in-depth review! Thank you for all that you do for the Eink community Voja! 🤩😁

[@stevenprosser8813]

Ah you looked at comics here, I see! Mine continues to have really bad ghosting with the same settings as you 🤔 Was that comic in neo reader or a third party app?

[@MyDeepGuide]

If you set the refresh to happen on every 1 operation and switch to Depth refresh method, and of course Normal or Regal Refresh speed, that should give you ghosting free reading experience.

[@stevenprosser8813]

@MyDeepGuide Thank you, I will try again. The problem I have had is that I only see depth refresh on neoreader and not under third-party settings - maybe I'm just lost though... I have my refresh set to full refresh with every one page click. I have tried switching between normal and regal as well optimal and vivid. I might need to play more with custom after watching this video (I couldn't wait until tomorrow to watch the rest, so I have chosen a poor night of sleep for me in order to see this 😅).

[@daviddandrea6491]

I also would love to see functionality using marvel unlimited and dc universe comics apps. I have a real problem with eye strain when reading comics on tablets so am interested in eink color functionality.

[@neilfleischer824]

@@stevenprosser8813 I would love to know what your results are, when you try the suggested settings 😀

[@neilfleischer824]

How is the ghosting on this vs the Kobo Libra Colour? I also understand that the colors are better on the Boox vs the Kobo, is that true?

[@meggi8048]

the fuzzy maybe comes from color only being 150ppi , where as b/w would be 300ppi edit: ok seamed to be the default filter settings.

[@coreylazy]

Thanks for the first impression. Could I ask, that in depth review, that you please compare the screen on the Go 7" to the Note Air 3C.

[@nicsnakedelsol]

Love your videos! Will there be a video on the Kobo Libra Colour?

[@MyDeepGuide]

Thanks! Yes, it's coming out on Tuesday :)

[@fydofire]

Very interesting, thanks for your preview. I'd like to buy a colour ereader but I'm not really convinced of the Kaleido 3 tech. Does anyone know if there is something better in the making ?

[@nicomal]

How does it compare to the bigme B751c?

[@averyoriginalname1547]

I think the "fuzziness" of text that you mentioned is just the combination of the small screen (so less pixels) and the color filter array on top of it. Big documents are forced to be rendered in a smaller resolution because of the smaller screen, so text has to be made up of less pixels, so it looks fuzzier, especially because of the color filter array on top of it too.

[@MyDeepGuide]

Nah, because the same document on other 7" Kaleido 3 readers didn't render like that.

[@MrScott22]

Maybe I’m mistaken (please correct me if I am), but when you “disabled the front light” at 12:24, it looks like you only turned off the warm front light but left the cold front light on still?

[@MyDeepGuide]

Nope, they have changed that some time ago. Top slider is the overall intensity, bottom slider with the front light color balance, left is cold, right is warm.

[@MrScott22]

@@MyDeepGuide Oh okay, thanks for letting me know. Cheers.

[@DigiDriftZone]

I'm really not a fan of Kaleido 3, dark screen, less sharp, battery hungry, it really cuts into the primary benefits of e-ink. For colour I'm going to stick to my iPad, for writing / reading, it's the good old black and white eInk (currently own a Scribe and Remarkable2, but leaning towards the RM2).

[@MarkPharaoh]

I don’t understand why it’s 2024 and the ergonomics on these devices are still such shit. I literally can’t give up my aging Oasis because of how superior it is in this respect.

[@baltgames1]

Well, I still think kaleido 3 is too dark and grainy. So its not pleasant to eyes. Colors are washed out.
