Kindle Colorsoft review: Amazon’s new e-reader gets colour screen upgrade

With launch problems fixed, first colour Kindle improves reading experience – but it is pricey and too small for comics

Amazon’s first Kindle with a colour screen had been a very long time coming and then suffered a rough landing last year, plagued with yellowing screen issues and shipping delays. But with those problems fixed, is a splash of colour the revolution the Kindle needs?

Amazon isn’t the first to use a colour e-ink screen in an e-reader, but it thinks its upgrades meaningfully improve on the tech used by others such as Boox and Kobo over the past four years by offering greater contrast and speed.
