A discolored yellow strip on the bottom of the Kindle Colorsoft screen isn’t a good look
Amazon’s first ever color ereader has only just gone on sale and users who’ve received their early orders are already unhappy, with some returning the Kindle Colorsoft or exchanging it for a new one.
As first reported by The Verge, a strip of yellow is marring the bottom of the Kindle Colorsoft display for some users, leading to a rather dismal 2.6 star rating (at the time of writing) on the Amazon listing page in the US.
In fact, the discoloration isn’t uniform for all users. As per the Reddit thread on this problem, some users are also seeing the discoloration along a vertical edge as well as along the bottom. Others aren’t too bothered by the yellowing, but they have returned their device due to « a corner speckled with dead pixels ».
