My Kindle Oasis 2017 seems to have broken. I love that it’s screen (Seems to be just plain old “Carta” with no numbers) does not need the backlight on to be readable in even pretty dim lighting.
I recently tried a Kobo and couldn’t believe how grey the screen was and needed the backlight in all conditions other than daylight.
I would just like to see a comparison between all the screens (Carta 1200, Colorsoft, etc) to try and know how it compares to my old Oasis without having to purchase and return it.
Anyone know of a good comparison site like what I’m describing?
OK great thanks for the reply and yes it was a color one. I don’t really need color but it still scared me. My Oasis is almost 10 years old now I assumed the tech would have improved dramatically.
Looking at the Boox Go 7 now I think as it’s the most similar to the Oasis without being Amazon
Don’t expect to be blown away, e-ink tech moves very slowly. Most of what’s changed since then is probably improved responsiveness, while maintaining similar levels of sharpness and constraint, and the introductions of other players into the market, such as those based on android.
