The 2026 Kindle Colorsoft has been released and received by a reviewer who discovered an obvious light bleed issue with the E Ink display. The author notes they no longer own a first-gen Colorsoft, so they cannot directly compare the screens to assess whether the defect is a new problem or a carryover issue.
Background
Amazon's Kindle Colorsoft line uses E Ink's color e-paper technology with an integrated front light, aiming to bring color reading to Kindle's ecosystem. This appears to be a user-reported quality control issue on the latest model.
