    I heard contrast / sharpness on black and white e-inc screens is better than on colour ones?

      yes the technology isn't there yet. This is essentially the first mainstream product of the technology.

      Yes, but good enough for most of eyes. (KLC has a yellowish texture background - like newspaper, but not on Colorsoft - while checking the reviews)
      The BW is 300PPI, while the colour ones are 150PPI (both KLC and Colorsoft). I purchased it for kids so colour display is a must.
      Amazon reviews:

      F.Y.I. Having said above, kids love the KLC

      • radissimo on 28/08/2025 - 11:11

        FYI I LUV KLC 2

      I have the latest Paperwhite and two generations before it, and the contrast on those are okay but not great, and haven't really improved generation to generation either. I heard the latest one was 'better' but side by side, I see no difference.

    How do the batteries go on these compared to black and white… Im sure I can find it, bit figure someone will know and will save others with the same question asking.

    • Sebajun on 28/08/2025 - 11:19

      Charged my KLC a month and a half ago and I think I'm at ~60% battery. I'd say I'm reading 2/3 times a week for an hour or so, so not heavy user.

    Don't forget if you have an older kindle to hit Amazon up first, give them the serial numbe;r say it's not working that well any more (eg battery doesn't last long enough) and can they offer a discount on a new one.

    They will generally offer a 15% discount and likely ask you to buy it first and then they will refund you the 15% once it arrives.

    Do the 15% cashback, wait for it to be paid out (usually a month or two) then hit Amazon up and ask for your 15% off the kindle you bought - just tell them you expected it to automatically apply and kept waiting for your refund but it never happened.

    32GB model - full price $379 … end up with $50 cashback via TCB (15% on ex-gst price??) and then $56.85 refund from Amazon a few months later making device around $272.15

    • GreyMann on 28/08/2025 - 11:26

      Wow, do you shoot emails? Or Amazon app chat? Thanks

      • MorriJ on 28/08/2025 - 11:58

        Amazon chat, get on there and say you are looking at a new kindle as your old one is out of warranty and has battery issues.
        Ask can they do anything to make it more affordable (can mention a friend got a 15% discount).

        The first agent will then transfer you to the Kindle team who have a script somewhere there to offer 15% discount.

        I did it 2 months ago +/- for prime day deals (kindles were discounted for prime day sale, still offered the 15% discount off the discounted price).

        • GreyMann on 28/08/2025 - 12:05

          Thanks!

          I didn't have any luck with this when I did mine

    • homsai on 28/08/2025 - 12:35

      TRS refund (GST $34.5) too if you are going to travel soon.

    KLC owner as well here. Out of curiosity, what is your main reason for buying this one too? And not a second KLC for example?

    • noname657 on 28/08/2025 - 12:40

      For the following:
      1. better background texture (prefer white background not yellowish, I think you know what I am talking about)
      2. better page turn effect (you can check it on YouTube)

      And for $320, I think it is easily worth the cost.

      I am using KOreader on Kobo, also Libby. I love the KLC too. (and surely will miss the physical buttons)

      • Sebajun on 28/08/2025 - 13:50

        Ok thank you. With the warm light set to 0 the background looks white to me. But maybe I'm not seeing it because I can't compare with another reader.
        I always have the warm light pretty high anyway, I'm finding it easier on the eyes in the long term.

  • qtvinsta on 28/08/2025 - 11:39

    Great post… Ive wanted the signature one but didn't want to pay 450… But 322 after cash back is easier to digest. Thanks OP

  • yoquierotaco on 28/08/2025 - 12:39

    Has anyone tried getting TRS for Amazon stuff? Is there an invoice I can get?

    • noname657 on 28/08/2025 - 12:42

      Yes, you will get an invoice (with $34.45 GST).

    • fl360 on 28/08/2025 - 13:37

      As a note for everyone, whatever you buy from Amazon AU here, it has to be SOLD and SHIP by Amazon AU, so you can download a Tax Invoice with ABN, therefore eligible for TRS tax refund. There a few Australian ABN sellers sell via amazon AU too, but you will need to hunt for the GST tax invoice. A lot of other sellers in Amazon AU, and ship by Amazon AU, do not have ABN, and will not provide tax invoice with ABN so no TRS refund.

      • yoquierotaco on 28/08/2025 - 13:40

        Thanks for that everyone

  • fl360 on 28/08/2025 - 13:33

    thanks, also going overseas in the next 60 days too, so the discount + top cash back + TRS refund, not bad for a new kindle model.

  • HLTT on 28/08/2025 - 16:25

    Can I use Libby with this?

    Has the yellow banding/screen discoloring been fixed yet?

    Scribe is on discount as well. Anyone can provide a first hand experience of Scribe vs reMarkable?
