The Amazon first color e-reader is called the Kindle Colorsoft and is now available.
The Kindle Colorsoft is 7-inch a color electronic ink e-reader, finally allowing you to enjoy your favorite books in color with the comfort of electronic paper.
Kindle Colorsoft
7" e-reader - 300PPP e ink screen - Ebook formats supported: Kindle Format 8 (AZW3), Kindle (AZW), TXT, PDF, EPUB (converted), MOBI, PRC; HTML, DOC, DOCX, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP
After years of speculation and fierce competition in the market, Amazon is set to offer a 7-inch color e-reader with a display that is reportedly different from existing competitors.
It appears that this color screen uses Kaleido 3 technology with technology which offers better colors. However, this type of screen is also more expensive, so we have a higher price point, likely making this e-reader accessible primarily to more wealthy readers.
The screen is said to have a resolution of 300 PPI in black and white and 150 PPP in color, which is the same screen found in Kobo or Pocketbook e-readers that have been available for some time.
To achieve good color reproduction, the Kindle Colorsoft also employs a nitride LED lighting system aims to provide better colors and contrast than its competitors.
This is at least what Amazon's announcement suggests about this new e-reader.

The price is high at $299.
I think it makes it too expensive to fully compete with the already excellent Pocketbook Verse Pro Color or the Kobo Libra Colour.
However, if the promises are fulfilled, we could see an outstanding next-generation color electronic ink e-reader, and we can always wait for a promotion to purchase it at a more reasonable price.
For now, the information regarding the Kindle Colorsoft is still partial had I have not yet reviewed it, and I will be sure to update this page as more details become available.
