The #ColorEink experience is far from perfect, and there are important trade-offs to be aware of, but the covers/illustrations do look darn nice.

I wouldn't try reading color comics on this device, though. Too small, and the color isn't quite vivid enough, I don't think.

Compare this photo with the source photo here to note the loss in color saturation inherent with this display technology:

(Looking at this image (of the e-reader) side by side with the actual e-reader shows that at least on my monitor, the photo of the e-reader shows the loss of color pretty realistically)

My Kobo Clara Color device propped up on a table by means of its folded "sleep cover." Displaying an instapaper-delivered version of the Wikipedia article for "Desert Fathers," and prominently displaying one of the images from that article, "Saint Macarius and the Cherub."
