The new Kindle Colorsoft is mostly a Paperwhite with a color display, meant to make highlights stand out and book covers look better. So far, it looks like a nice new feature.
For years, Kindle users have asked Amazon to make a color version of its e-reader. Now, the company is finally delivering: it’s launching the new Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition, a device that has a lot in common with the new Paperwhite, except instead of black and white it’s color all over. The Colorsoft costs $279.99 and is available for preorder today, with shipments starting October 30th.
It’s no iPad screen, but it’s sharp enough and bright enough to make comics pop without being so saturated it looks wrong. The most obvious drawback is that when there’s a color image on the page, the device does a full flashing refresh every time you turn the page; Keith says that only happens when there’s a sufficiently large image on the screen, but it happened to me even with some pretty tiny images.
