If you want a compact color e-reader with access to a robust ebook store that will make comic books and manga look good without requiring a deep dive into screen settings, the Kindle Colorsoft has the best color E Ink screen you can get. It’s also the ideal option if you’re firmly entrenched in Amazon’s ecosystem.

The brilliant Kindle now has a color screen, but does this make the Kindle Colorsoft the model to buy? I've got the answer in my review.

Remarkable Paper Pro: Although it has a large, color e-ink screen, the Paper Pro isn't really an e-reader; it's a dedicated writing tablet. An excellent one, but if you want books as well, you'll be disappointed: It doesn't support Kindle or Hoopla or any other such apps. To learn more, read my Remarkable Paper Pro review.

The 11th-gen Paperwhite update, released in late 2021 for $140, was a big quality-of-life upgrade, with a bigger 6.8-inch screen, adjustable color temperature, USB-C, more frontlight LEDs, and (in the more-expensive Signature Edition) an auto-brightness sensor and wireless charging.
