Color E-Readers vs. Black and White E-Readers

[LucyPage]

Do color e-readers display black and white text as clearly as dedicated black and white models?

No, color display has an extra layer on top of it and it looks a bit darker and not so crisp. But I have to say this is only from my (thorough) investigation. I don't own any color e-reader. Maybe someone else can confirm this.

True. That makes sense, color screens must have some trade-offs for text clarity. I guess I'll stick with my black-and-white Kindle for now, at least for reading books. But it'd be nice to have a color option for things like comics or magazines.
