Kindle Colorsoft has Much Higher Rating Now Than After it Launched
When Amazon first launched the Kindle Colorsoft in 2024, things did not go well initially, and it looked like it was going to be a flop. It had a frontlight issue that Amazon ended up admitting was a fault, and the reviews were scathing. For a long time after that the Kindle Colorsoft had a […]

New Kindles getting released used to be a pretty big deal, but nobody seems to care about the new Kindle Scribe without a frontlight. The Kindle brand alone used to carry enough weight to get people’s attention, and there was […]
