Kindle Colorsoft

Color without compromise. After being taken by surprise by the competition, Amazon took advantage of the month of October to present its new Kindle Colorsoft, equipped with a high-contrast color screen and almost non-existent latency. Once you’ve tasted it, it’s hard to go back. Compared to other color models, the rendering is definitely more lively and responsive. It’s a feast for the eyes, and Amazon’s closed ecosystem, despite its flaws, remains best in class.
