Is Amazon working on a more affordable color display Kindle?
Leaked photos on Reddit suggest that Amazon may be developing a cheaper version of its color display Kindle. A user posted images of a prototype of a smaller Kindle with a color display, similar to Amazon’s latest e-reader, the Kindle 11. This prototype is rumored to feature a color display similar to the expensive Kindle Colorsoft, released in 2024.
Kindle Colorsoft: Price and Potential Changes
Amazon’s first color e-reader, the Colorsoft, faced criticism for its high price. The initial flagship model, the Signature Edition, was launched at $279.99, with later versions priced slightly lower at $249.99 and $269.99. In comparison, the standard black and white Kindle is priced at $109.99, while the Kindle Paperwhite costs $159.99. The alleged prototype, named the Kindle Petit Color, promises “advanced” color features and improved color quality compared to the current Kindle Colorsoft.
Although the details about the Kindle Petit Color have not been confirmed, the potential of a more affordable alternative to the Kindle Colorsoft has sparked excitement among Kindle users. If the leaked information turns out to be accurate, it could be a positive development for those seeking a budget-friendly color e-reader option.
