Ever since Amazon starting put the estimated “x number bought in past month” metric at the top of most product pages on their website, I find it interesting to use those numbers to see how well Kindles are selling.

You Won’t Believe This Kindle Colorsoft Teardown Video
Below is a video showing someone destroying a Kindle Colorsoft, and it’s one of the most interesting and informative Kindle videos I’ve ever seen.

This Proves the Kindle Colorsoft is Massively Overpriced
When Amazon released the Kindle Colorsoft, I was really surprised they priced it so high at $279. Kobo had just released the Kobo Libra Colour a few months earlier with the same 7″ color E Ink screen, and Kobo priced it at a reasonable $219. Even Onyx’s Go Color 7 is cheaper than the Kindle […]

Kindle Colorsoft Sales Figures are Surprising
There’s been a lot of controversy surrounding the Kindle Colorsoft since it was released about 7 weeks ago. The reviews at Amazon are scathing. It currently has a 2.8-star rating, and over 50% of reviews are only 1 and 2 stars. Despite that, the Kindle Colorsoft appears to be selling pretty well. Amazon never reveals […]
