Kindle Colorsoft review: The missing link in Amazon’s ereader lineup
After years of waiting and requests, Amazon debuted the $280 Kindle Colorsoft, its first ereader with a color display. Amazon’s promising the Colorsoft gets color E Ink implementation right thanks in part to the custom tweaks it made to the display. And, unsurprisingly, Amazon’s ready to charge you a premium for it. So is it all it’s cracked up to be?
