However, upon using the new Paperwhite, which boasts the highest contrast ratio of any Kindle and delivers super-sharp text, I did notice that the text on the Colorsoft appeared slightly fuzzy, even with black-and-white content. While this may not be as noticeable with comics, it did take some time for my eyes to adjust while reading standard books. Additionally, the loading time when turning pages on illustrations can be a bit jarring, with the screen typically fluttering once or twice while processing the color. This can also occur when zooming in, and I even experienced a small black loading square at one point. While this may be a common issue among color e-readers, it’s important to consider if you primarily plan on using the device for comic books and graphic novels. The flashing screen can be distracting and take away from the reading experience. Despite the added color screen, the Kindle Colorsoft doesn’t feel too different from the Paperwhite, with similar battery life and wireless charging support. However, for an extra $80, it would have been nice to see the return of page-turn buttons, which haven’t been seen on a Kindle since the 2019 Oasis model. Overall, while the Colorsoft may offer a color screen, it may not be worth the extra cost for some readers, especially if they prefer a more traditional reading experience.
