Amazon says the Kindle Colorsoft isn’t great for reading books, and I agree

Amazon rarely undercuts its own products, but when the company quietly slipped a caveat into the FAQ for its new Colorsoft Kindle, it made one thing abundantly clear: if you care about crisp, black-and-white reading, buy something else. As someone who still acts like they’ll earn a pizza party if they read enough books, I spend a lot of time with my Kindle. Amazon’s honest take doesn’t surprise me (and won’t surprise anyone who’s read on both types of e-reader), but it’s a rare day I find myself agreeing with the company about anything.
