Totally. The only worthy upgrade would be to the colorsoft. But I would stay away from that until the screen issues with the colorsoft are fully resolved.

Thanks so much! Sending my support your way! I love me a mundane vlog. 🤍🤍

It takes forever to catch Draco (the light one) and put his clothes on though. 😂

Ahhh!! I’m jealous! I thought about getting the pink one off eBay but it was twice as much as the black one I got on OfferUp. Fingers crossed they do more fun colors like this in the future. How are you liking the nook so far?

@ I love it! I have a kindle oasis as well as a kobo libra so just trying out different options.

@ nice! Hope you like it!

The 2024 is slightly sharper but only if you look really close.

I am! Thank you! I’ve been carrying my nook with me for about a week now. I’m beginning to fall in love with it. I just wish it were white! Or the limited edition pink one!

Thanks so much!! 🐱🐱

Yes! I had a really hard time choosing between the two!

@ I had a hard time choosing what color I wanted too. However, Jade is my favorite shade in the green family. I can’t wait to get it soon.

Nice choice! I was telling others how awesome it would if Amazon ever released a rose gold/blush or even cream kindle. 😍😍

@@mere24601 I would love to have any of those colors in a future Kindle especially in rose gold or blush.

I think the new pw screen issues are not as common as the colorsoft. The pw screen issues I’ve seen have to do with the warmth of the entire screen. There’s more comparison photos on Reddit of people comparing multiple pw 12th gen screens at the same brightness and warmth. I’ve read these issues are both software and hardware (I guess these new screens are glued on rather than screwed on).

I try to get their shadows as much as possible whenever I walk them in the early morning. It’s so funny watching their shadows bounce around. 🤣

Nice dog too

Yup. A software issue should’ve been fixed by now or by this week. This issue has been talked about for about a week now.

My Paperwhite 2024 has no issues. Not too yellow. The clearest and easiest to read I have ever seen. Nice improvement over the 11th gen.

I was looking forward to your further comments on both the Colorsoft and the newest Paperwhite SE but I totally understand your reasoning. No sense having that much money tied up in items you aren’t completely happy with. As I mentioned in one of my comments on one of your other videos, this is not the first time Amazon has run into the blotchy or uneven lighting on their Kindles. Amazon solved the problem by increasing the number of LEDs and changing their placement to even out the display lighting. I am surprised that you had a lighting problem with your Paperwhite SE. The Paperwhite models have always had even lighting. (I saw that with the caveat that I have owned nearly every Kindle model ever made so I’m not exactly sure when Amazon increased the number of LEDs and changed their placement. I think it began with the Paperwhite models.) I bought the newest Paperwhite SE (12 ed.) last week and I am very happy with it, even though it lacks the page turn buttons, form factor, metal case, and autorotation found in the now discontinued Oasis model. The batteries in my Oasis are dying and can’t be replaced so I pulled the trigger on the SE. I did have to exchange it for a second one because the first one had a vertical and a horizontal line of dead pixels. It was a minor issue but it bugged me when the lines intersected a line of type. The replacement is perfect so I just happened to get a defective one the first time around.

@@BrandonRodriguez-hm2lnI have two of the Oasis models, one from 2018 and one from 2011.) As you have experienced, the batteries are slowly dying and they can’t be replaced because of the metal case and the super strong adhesive attaching the screen to the case. Since the new Paperwhite Signature Edition has some features lacking in the Oasis and since I nearly always want the most recent Kindle, I went ahead and ordered one. It’s faster, has better contrast, longer battery life, USB C charging, wireless charging, and I think a couple of other things that I don’t recall right now. I will slowly download my library to the Paperwhite SE before the Oasis models finally die.

I'm not a big fan of the green tint. I'm trying to get used to it. They insist it's better for your eyes, but I prefer a cooler tone.

I don’t have a boox go 7. Unfortunately.

I’d say wait until Black Friday and see if the colorsoft is lower in price at all or is bundled with a case or Amazon gift card. Right now, this product is not worth the full price.

You won't be able to use the color with no front light. Even outdoors, the screen is dark.

@@VidMashUp yeah that’s a deal breaker. I enjoy the paper feel with no front light, as well as the extended battery life when not using light. Maybe the next generation or the one after that will fix this..

Yup. Unfortunately. On Reddit, some are saying it’s a software bug being fixed but idk. A 300$ product should be flawless. I’m leaning towards returning it and keeping my pwse

@@mere24601yikes. I wouldn’t rely on it being a software bug. I would’ve returned it too. What a disappointment.

100%. It’s a perwhite signature edition plus color. So it’s essentially 100$ more for the color tech.

@@ursulaoelofse4731 I had the Oasis and was excited for color. I just set my color soft up and it’s fantastic. I think the color and speed (over gen 11 PW SE) is great. I’d keep it, but the yellow band won’t work for me. I had the Kobo Libra Colour, but aside from the UI it needs revamping. I may wait for the Color soft version 2 with the kinks worked out, but will definitely be getting it or a replacement for this yellow band one.

⁠@@daniboi79I have two of the Oasis models (one with the warm setting and one without). Although I don’t read graphic novels, manga, etc., I was also looking forward to the Colorsoft because it was supposed to be quicker, have better contrast, etc. I also would love to see the covers of my 2,000+ books in color. The Colorsoft is definitely an advance but the complaints about the paleness of the color and the unevenness of the screen lighting have convinced me to wait until a second or third generation. In the meantime, I’ll stick to the Paperwhite Signature (12 edition) for the increased speed and contrast andI will run my Oasis models into the ground since the batteries cannot be replaced and because of the page turn buttons and the autorotation.

@daniboi79 I've seen a lot of reviews with people talking about the yellow band or mark. I don't think that's good. Maybe they all come like that, I don't know, but I think it's better to stay with the ordinary paperwhite for now. Until they can sort it out, or give better ones.

Yup. It’s not so much a line but more like a small blotch of faded yellow at the center of the bottom of the screen. I can see it most at full brightness.

@@mere24601 do you see the yellowing on both the kindles?

@ A lot of people are returning them for replacement. I agree for an almost $300 e reader, you shouldn’t have issues with internet or screen discoloration. That’s more than some big TV’s.

Agree completely. I’m already contacting Amazon support for a replacement.

@@mere24601 I also own one. Sadly it appears all Colorsofts have this issue, and even the latest Paperwhites. It just depends on a person's sensitivity, plus how the device's lighting is set, PLUS one's room lighting, as to how much it will be noticible. They are planning a software fix, which will hopefully minimize the problem.

Text on both are the same ppi & crispness. What makes you think it is less crisp/hazy is because the colorsoft has a noisy/grainy background. Plays mind games with your optical perception.

@@Battlem0nkI guess its the color filter. And also it is 150ppi on color pages so that’s there.

@@adityadarekar5497 yup that grain you see on white background is the color filter layer.

Thanks for the tip!

I quickly filmed this before family came over. Didn’t have time to set up my tripod. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Yeah the biggest downside to the scribes is their lack of portability. They wouldn’t fit in any of my bags. But the new white/jade one looks so pretty. Fingers crossed the next scribe is smaller and has buttons!

Not yet!

looks like its the 2024. you can tell its the 2024 edition because the corners of the screen are rounded

100% the 2024 paperwhite signature edition. The colorsoft is elevated a bit from the case it’s in.

Thanks so much! I had family coming over so i had to make this comparison quick. I will go more in depth maybe tomorrow or this weekend and definitely look into these differences!

Will do tomorrow!

@mere24601 thank you so much!

Seen a comparison on another vid and it looks more washed out on colorsoft the black compared to paperwhite that last years model. They didnt compare to this years paperwhite that supposed to be very good as well. This video comparison very good I thought. 😊

@@lisadefries6718 ok! I'll try to find this. Thank you

None so far.

Yeah not what i was expecting in terms of color. Thought it would be a lot more washed out.

So far I’m happy with it! I am going to check out the colorsoft just to see what the big deal is but right now I’m happy with the paperwhite.

@@mere24601 for me i think the colosoft is the same like having a tablet, so ill never gonna buy it. And it costs a lot lol

I’d wait too. I’m gonna pick one up and try it out. Coming from a pw11, the upgrades from the pw12 are minimal but noticeable but not that upgradeable.

Good to know!
