I love my kindle touch. Looks almost exactly like ink on paper. I don't like the color ones.

What is the advantage of converting pdf to e-reader file type?

i'm wondering if any of you guys know of something like a kindle that's full color, touch screen that will read cbr/cbz files. i like the kindle fire but i couldn't care less about wifi and all that. i just want a tablet to read stuff on, including comic scans. the fire's like 200 bucks though.

The problem with color tablets is they are backlight which lots of people dont like reading.
I much prefer reading E-Ink. I had a Kindle but sold it for a Nook. They are both great, E-Ink FTW.

Yeah. For straight text I'd go black and white.
Color would allow magazine content and some other things.
I have to read off a monitor for hours on end and it sucks...
