The Kindle Colorsoft next to the Kobo Libra Colour in direct sunlight.

Compared to the Colorsoft, the Boox Note Air C 3 had the same high brightness and was as speedy as the Kindle when moving through pages, especially when reading a color magazine. However, upon seeing the Boox and the Kindle side by side, you can definitely notice the pixelization on the Boox’s color display, as opposed to the smooth color that the Kindle provides.

Another impressive feature of the Colorsoft is that it’s water resistant (rated IPX8), so you can read it by the beach, pool, or in the bath. Plus, it has wireless charging, a feature previously only available in the Kindle Paperwhite.

I have virtually no complaints with this Kindle except perhaps its small size. The size itself is easy and comfortable to hold, but reading color books or magazines, a bigger size like that of the Boox Note Air C 3’s 10.3-inch display makes a greater impact, and you can really see and appreciate the color images better when seeing the entire page.
