I still have an old Kindle and it still gets months of battery life. I occasionally read comics so this may get me to upgrade.

    Color is very useful for highlights, taking notes and reading comics, its fine if its not for you but its very interesting for me

        Okay, eink is really really good at two things: reading and taking notes/drawing.

        Comics are a form of reading (especially french comics i read, theyre 50% text).

        You highlight parts of books.

        And for taking notes, say in class, is much nicer when you have color avilable

          Hard disagree, e-ink is fantastic for two thing, reading and battery life. Everything interactive, you’re better off with a tablet.

          Comics are a form of reading

          We both mentioned it separarely. And for a good reason imo, traditional books are a much better fit for e-readers because reflowing text just werks while comics are going to be a lot harder.

            Note that the usual responsiveness problems dont apply when you use a pen to take notes, as the pen just directly pulls up the ink pellets in the screen.
