I still have an old Kindle and it still gets months of battery life. I occasionally read comics so this may get me to upgrade.

    Highlighting, taking notes, comics all seem different from just reading

      Okay, eink is really really good at two things: reading and taking notes/drawing.

      Comics are a form of reading (especially french comics i read, theyre 50% text).

      You highlight parts of books.

      And for taking notes, say in class, is much nicer when you have color avilable

        Hard disagree, e-ink is fantastic for two thing, reading and battery life. Everything interactive, you’re better off with a tablet.

        Comics are a form of reading

        We both mentioned it separarely. And for a good reason imo, traditional books are a much better fit for e-readers because reflowing text just werks while comics are going to be a lot harder.

          Note that the usual responsiveness problems dont apply when you use a pen to take notes, as the pen just directly pulls up the ink pellets in the screen.
