Amazon’s Kindle colorsoft Now the company has the most expensive e-reader (although it is more than e-reader than e-reader), but it cannot automatically buy it the best kindle money. Suppose you have cash to burn and the best reading experience is Amazon Offer: If you only read the novel, or even black-and-white comics like Manga, you can really be better than saving and getting your money. Kindle Paperwhite instead. Getting out of extra will not give you an advanced experience – it can actively make your books worse.
What is a color e-reader?
At its core, Kindle Colorsoft is essentially a kindle paperwite, but with a significant difference. It is the same light option, just weighs about the same, looks exactly like a paperwit, and the same size screen. The defined factor is that the colorsoft contains a color filter in its performance, which allows the material to be passed on to produce up to 4,096 colors.

It can still display black-and-white content, but when you read something like a comic book on it, it cuts the resolution from 300 ppi to half from 150 ppi, then cleverly arranges pixels so that they shine through the right places to produce the required colors.
It is slightly higher – there is some proprietary material in playing in Amzon which allows it to be achieved. Better color accuracy and low artefacts than competitive devices-But this is a gist. It is very clever, even though the core concept is not unique to the Kindle Colorsoft. It does not just work on comics, either on things like book cover or color-selection highlighting.
Looks great. Even if you do not use it all the time, it’s a good bonus, right? At the cost of some resolution, you may get color when it is needed, but you can also display black-and-white works on the same resolution as Kindle Pepperwite. Unfortunately, reality is not so cut and dry.
Rainbow effect
While the Kindle’s software can identify when it is showing you black-and-white content and when it is displaying color, hardware cannot be done. Even in some like a novel, the physical color filter is still there. And while its personal color is too small to exclude the dots, your eyes can still notice the color layer completely.
Enter the rainbow effect. In its best form, it will put a light flicker on your screen, allowing it some grainy texture that can reduce contrast. In its worst way, it will show full on the colored spectrum on the material that should be monochrome.

it is inevitable. No matter what you read on the device, it will appear to some extent. The question is how you will react to it.
Can you fix the rainbow effect?
Because the rainbow effect is a hardware issue, there is no way to completely get rid of it. There are slight improvements for the competition, the most notable cobo’s “Redus Rainbow Effect” togle, which is slightly blurred to try to line the image in this way that the color filter is not noticeable. Amazon, unfortunately, has not been chosen to include such a solution on your device.
What do you think so far?
He said, Kindle Colorsoft ships with two colors mode, standard and vivid. These will not affect black-and-white content, but it is worth noting that the way the color filter works in the Coloroft can sometimes cause artifacts in color materials. If you notice it, changing the color mode can help you. Kindle is less prone to artifacts than being seen on other devices, but its vivid mode does not use the full range of 4,096 colors, instead compress it to promote saturation. I have talked with most fellow colorsoft users, who prefer to swap to vivid and leave it for everything, but the lower range of colors can cause pixels, so if you notice, it is worth trying to try standard mode again. Certainly, it is not really the same as the rainbow effect, but it is an uniform sufficient issue, and it suggests that the color users are also not free from problems on this device.
What is working with a rainbow effect?
How much the rainbow effect will bother you, it depends on what you read and how ancient you like to see your pages. For my husband, who reads all his black and white books on a color e-reader, it does not bother him much. He really prefers flicker, saying that it resembles the kind of grain you can get on the actual paper.
But for me, I can’t tolerate it. It is bright and distracted, and if you spend most of your time on reading traditional books on your kindle, buying a colresoft will mean that you make additional payments to pay extra. I think if you want to see your book cover in color while scrolling through your library, or if you highlight a lot, it may be worth it. It feels good, covers or highlights for a few seconds are on your screen. But to read most of your time really, you are not going to use the color, and you will be seeing the rainbow effect.
The news gets spoiled only when you read Black-And-White Illustrated Works like Manga. To follow with a book, you just have to do so that the words are out- but with manga, the artwork will actively deteriorate. The lines may take fazer, or facial expressions can all give a completely different vibe under the flicker. But the worst, you can get those unknown colored splashes, like I found inside fearlessFor me, it is not worth it.
Kindle Colorsoft is only for those who read color materials
This may look clear, but Kindle Colorsoft is only for those who regularly read color materials, such as comic books – and yet, I do not recommend it.
It is not like the 90s, when the game Boy’s color can play some games in color, but it can also play black and white games similar to an original game boy. Kindle Colorsoft is not only a regular kindle with alternative colors that readers with deep -pocket can count as a topical couple bonus, but some as they can ignore otherwise. Instead, using it is a completely different experience.
