or just black and white text".

Right now, the standard version has a tasty 36% discount in the Amazon Prime Day sales (and the Colorsoft Signature version, with twice as much storage, has 21% off ), but before you hit that buy button, maybe you want to check if this is truly the best ereader for your needs? If so, you've come to the
right place.

If you're intent on a color ereader, the biggest competitor is probably Kobo. At regular prices, the Kobo Clara Colour would have the budget-friendly edge over the Colorsoft, but it's pricier right now. However, if you're in the market for something more feature-rich, check out the Kobo Libra Colour .
This one earned a perfect five stars in our review, and it has the edge over the standard Colorsoft because you can use it for scribbling down notes as well as reading (although you will need to purchase a stylus). If you wanted to do that on a Kindle , you'd need the C olorsoft Scribe, which is spoiler the priciest option in this guide, by a significant margin, and almost the same price as buying a Kindle, a Kindle Scribe and a Kindle Colorsoft separately.

Another option is the Boox Go Color 7 Gen II , but we'd struggle to recommend it because the display just isn't quite up to scratch it has a yellow tinge, and the text lacks sharpness, which is unforgivable given the high price.
