Amazon’s Kindle is decisively the most popular e-reader brand, allowing the e-commerce giant to take its time bringing a device with a colour screen to market. And yet, though the Kindle Colorsoft is great for comics and adds an appreciated pop to book covers, it feels like a first draft of what the product should ultimately become. If you’ve seen a recent Kindle Paperwhite, you’ll know more or less what to expect from the Colorsoft, as it looks and feels practically identical. The hues add a lot of appeal to the tomes in your library or the store, and even apply to the covers shown when the device is in standby. But you shouldn’t expect the solid vibrancy of an LCD tablet.
