An e-reader with page-turn buttons, library-book support and a colour screen. Reviewers agree the colour comes at a cost to the black-and-white text everyone actually reads.
This entry is written from the 3 sources listed at the bottom of the page. The numbers are our editorial estimates drawn from that material, not measurements, and no statistical sample sits behind them.
On the evidence gathered here, yes. 79% of owners say they would buy it again, and satisfaction is still 7.9 out of 10 two years in. Buttons and build hold up over years.
Steady. Owners settle into using it as a very good black-and-white reader that happens to do colour, which is what the reviews predicted.
The colour layer's effect on text contrast is the persistent criticism. Store and ecosystem are smaller. Colour turns out to be less useful than expected for most reading.
Buttons and build hold up over years. Sentiment across the ownership period stays close to flat, which is rare: it reads 8.2 out of 10 in the first week and 7.9 two years later.
Worth it for: Library borrowers; People who want page-turn buttons; Readers who want their books in an open format. Think twice if: You read plain text and want the sharpest screen; You are committed to one store's library; You want the cheapest good e-reader.
