I am so excited for this. I've run into so many books where color would make it ten times better. Also, the Comixology subscription will be so much more valuable with this device. The only thing I have a wish for is that the device is more responsive than the original Kindle. There is nothing more frustrating than tapping a touch screen and waiting 5 seconds for it to respond.

I agree, the lagginess of kindles drove me to distraction and I was actually reading less because of it.

I bought a colour Kobo. Super responsive by comparison. The colour isn't wonderful, I like that it's there.

Also, physical buttons! Such things are only available on the most expensive Kindle, I didn't realize how much I'd missed them.

My partner has a Kobo and I'm seriously considering one. My Kindle has done more for my sleep than any other device. I get sleepy reading it, unlike my phone or tablet. I really wish I could my content on either device.
