According to numerous foreign websites, Amazon is preparing to launch its first color e-reader called the Kindle Colorsoft.
The Kindle Colorsoft will be 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 6-inch (to be confirmed) color e-reader with a display that is reportedly different from existing competitors.
It appears that this color screen doesnβt use Kaleido 3 technology, but rather Gallery 3, which offers better colors. However, this type of screen is also more expensive, so we should expect a higher price point, likely making this e-reader accessible primarily to more affluent readers.
The screen is said to have a resolution of 300 PPI, even in color, which is quite unprecedented and hints that it is not 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 has not yet been disclosed (nor its availability), but we should expect it to be significantly above $200.
This could make 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, and I will be sure to update this page as more details become available.
