Amazon says it’s fixing the Kindle Colorsoft’s yellow screen

Discolored displays mar the first color Kindle’s launch.

Amazon says it’s working to fix issues with the Kindle Colorsoft, its first color e-reader, following complaints from early buyers that a yellow band of discoloration appears on the bottom of the display. The company is making “adjustments” so that “new devices” will not have the yellow band; people who already own a unit can contact Amazon for a refund or replacement. The Verge ’s own review unit has it, but Andrew Liszewski, who is testing it for us, says in his case, the discoloration is not especially visible to his eyes and shows up more obviously in photos.
