In a barrage of Kindle hardware, Amazon might have something for anyone looking to upgrade from a basic Kindle. The biggest reveal might be the Kindle Colorsoft, its first reader with a color display. Amazon tried to ensure the reader has a good color and black-and-white experience, with high contrast, high resolution and high clarity whether you're looking at a color image or a black-and-white page. Amazon uses nitride LEDs, which work with the companys algorithm to enhance color and brightness without washing out images.
Judging by the press images (and the demos we went to), these seem primed for graphic novels and comics. If youre looking for something to digitally house your comics and manga, the Kindle Colorsoft will cost you $280 and start shipping on October 30.
