I see that the price of InkPad Color 2 has dropped to $295 (USD) on Amazon. InkPad 4 is now $255. The former has 32GB storage with 1.8 GHz quad-core, vs 16GB with 1.0 GHz dual-core for the latter.
I'm guessing that for B&W content, IP4 is going to look better (Carta and no additional color layer), and despite the slower processor, might have faster page turns. But I have not found any side by side reviews comparing them. I'm thinking about getting one of these: I do not currently have any 8" eInk device and I think it is perhaps the ideal size (I use my iPad mini for reading a lot). It might be fun to have the color one, even if color is not as vibrant. I was concerned that I might not have color content to put on it, as nearly all of my content is from Amazon and I use the AZW3 download method for a Kindle, but I checked a few of them and they do have color images. I'm in no rush to get one, but would welcome thoughts. Last edited by tomsem; 08-26-2023 at 03:10 PM. |

There are reviews of both at allesebook.de - the colour device’s faster cpu is noticeable, as is (unfortunately) a kind of glitter on the Kaleido screen.

I do not think the 'glitter' would bother me. It appears this is the only thing that in his opinion makes it 'worse' for black and white content when compared to InkPad 4, as it is in the context of the discussion of glitter only. Reviews (professional and customer) are not numerous, but this is the only mention of the phenomenon I have found. It would not surprise me if Amazon joins the club later this year with a Kaleido 3 screen. Even so, it wouldn't automatically win out over this, as I would like to 'diversify' my portfolio of reading devices. |

If you are thinking about PocketBook with Android - it's still under development. There was even no preproduction device on Book Fairs in Frankfurt and Kraków.
