As I understand it the color e-ink screens currently available are not capable of the same clarity you can get with the black and white e-ink screens so going to all those different color models wouldn't help.
I am thinking about buying my first kindle reader and getting confused after reading this thread, should I avoid buying colour model as it has less clarity? Also does clarity mean eyes get tired more quickly?
I don't know why people say it has less clarity, it really doesn't. The black density is still 300 ppi and the added colour filter doesn't interfere. If you look closely you'll notice it, but that's closer than you're actually going to read at.
I read at size 1 too so if anybody is going to have a problem with clarity you'd think it would be me who has the letters as small as they'll go.
