Amazon Is Reportedly Testing a Smaller Version of the Kindle Colorsoft for a November Release, but I'm Not Entirely Convinced by the Leaks
Amazon is developing a smaller, potentially cheaper color Kindle with enhanced color E Ink technology and customizable display features, aiming to diversify its e-reader lineup by November.
- On the Kindle subreddit, a Portuguese-speaking Redditor shared images of a purported Kindle Petit Color prototype, suggesting Amazon is testing a smaller, cheaper device.
- Following its flagship release, the lineup expanded in July with the Kindle Colorsoft at $249.99 and Kindle Colorsoft Kids at $269.99, while the standard Kindle costs $109.99 and the Kindle Paperwhite $159.99.
- Inside the device, the Redditor claims the prototype offers adjustable saturation for individual colors, dynamic text transitions through four shades, and customizable icons like battery, Wi-Fi, shopping cart, and progress bar.
- Despite the buzz, questions remain as skeptics note the leak is unconfirmed, Amazon rarely releases Kindles quickly, and the tester's risk raises doubts.
- Looking ahead, the prototype is rumored to launch in November this year with replacement covers in green leaf, deep purple, chromatic gray, and a mermaid edition, and will include a screen light in the final version.
