Amazon's Kindle Colorsoft is its first color ereader

Amazon has launched its first Kindle with a color display.

You'll be able to see book covers, images, comics and graphic novels as authors intended on the device, and you'll be able to highlight passages in colored markers instead of in the usual gray. The model is pretty much the new Paperwhite Signature Edition with a different display, and that one promises 25 percent faster page turns than the previous iteration. To make up for that, Amazon made some hardware and software changes, such as using nitrate LEDs that work with the company's algorithm to enhance color and brightness without washing out images.
