I still have an old Kindle and it still gets months of battery life. I occasionally read comics so this may get me to upgrade.

There too. Low contrast and less bright than b/w e-paper and still suck more power. AMOLED is better for the eyes, even though it glows.

Why do you say that amoled is bezter for the eyes? Is that also true for b/w e-ink?

No, i think e-ink has it's place. But color e-ink is currently too much a tradeoff in everything else e-ink is strong, imo.

Oh, OK. I just assumed color e-ink was just like bw e-ink but with colors and was similar in other aspects
