    The Kobo Clara Color’s screen doesn’t look any different to me with non-color eBooks than their non-color version. The only thing that’s really different is that the book cover you see when it’s powered off is in color. Now I will admit that e-ink color is not very good, but it doesn’t ruin the experience of reading just a regular book.

      I’m extremely sensitive to the screen door effect on the color e-ink screens I’m not sure that there is a reason why but some people don’t seem nearly as bothered by it as others.

        I’m farsighted and have an astigmatism, so I have to read with glasses, and maybe that’s the issue, but I just held my Clara really close to my face and I don’t notice any screen door effect.

          I’m near sighted with astigmatism. Who knows honestly. I’m sure there is some reason behind why it’s seems to bother some people and otberes can barely notice it.
