Thank you for this explicit video! For my part, I opted for the Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition, which is a real pleasure on a daily basis. In particular, it allows me to highlight with the appropriate color the important passages of my books, to go through the covers in color, and to take full advantage of reading books containing colored diagrams.
Thanks for this. I think a lot of us were waiting for this type of review. Nice to see the Colorsoft doesn’t really sacrifice much quality with text compared to the new Paperwhite.
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.
I can definitely see a difference in clarity but it’s more to do with colorsoft having a different grain/screen. Both look very good. I just got first gen scribe which I got simply for reading but coloursoft looking brilliant I want one to pop in small handbag for work.
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!
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. 😊
It is interesting that the Paperwhite Signature is more yellow than the Colorsoft at maximum brightness with no warmth but it is less yellow than the Colorsoft when both are set to maximum brightness and maximum warmth. I’m guessing that is because the Colorsoft is able to produce a more pronounced yellow at maximum brightness and maximum warmth because of its color technology. I am a fan of the warmth setting at night but I like the whiteness of the Colorsoft screen when it is displaying pure text. Other than the slight grain in the white background, the sharpness of the letters themselves seems to be about the same as the Paperwhite Signature. I don’t read comics, Manga, etc. but seeing the book titles of my 2,000+ books in color would be really nice. You zoomed in deep on a Captain Marvel text bubble on the Colorsoft but not so deep on the same bubble on the Paperwhite Signature. How does the text on the Colorsoft look when it is displaying color compared to the Paperwhite Signature? Resolution for text is supposed to drop from 300ppi to 150ppi when the Colorsoft is displaying in color mode. Regardless, your comparison is exactly what I was hoping someone would do and I am now one of your new subscribers.
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!
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

I like the grain of the color e ink displays
Thanks for the review. The PW seems so much more crisp. The Colorsoft is grainy despite having B&W text because of the color filter.

@@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.
Thank you for this post. Exactly what I was looking for 🙏

Thank you for the review
The colorsoft looks like a real book. Fun.
Yeah not what i was expecting in terms of color. Thought it would be a lot more washed out.
Turn on Vivid and the colors will pop a LOT more.
Thanks. Great comparison.
Really great comparison, can you compare it to boox go 7 ?
I don’t have a boox go 7. Unfortunately.
Have you tried the vivid color mode on the colorsoft?
Not yet!
Can you show a comparison of the dark modes of possible. This would be the deciding factor for me!
Will do tomorrow!
@mere24601 thank you so much!

@@lisadefries6718 ok! I'll try to find this. Thank you
Do you notice any ghosting in the ppw caused by shades of text remaining after page turns?
None so far.

Colorsoft looks yellow at the bottom?
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.
Are you sure that’s the 2024 edition of the paper white? It looks slightly shorter. I think that’s the previous gen. paper white.
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.
Double tap to go into a panel and page turn to go to the next panel. You don’t have to pinch and zoom.
Thanks for the tip!
You really need to find a way to hold the camera still.
I quickly filmed this before family came over. Didn’t have time to set up my tripod. 🤷🏽♀️
