Just received mine.

Coming from the Kindle Oasis, it feels somewhat clunky and the screen looks worse. Not sure the color is a compelling enough feature or just a novelty.

People *will* expect something similar to tablets or smartphones, and we're still a long way from that. I'm familiar with tech and I still had some unconscious bias and hopes.

Size and weight are also a big thing. Mangas, comic books and graphic novels tend to be bigger than the Kobo screen. Combined with the lower resolution, I felt the images weren't big enough.

Not sure if I'll keep it or return and wait some more...
