While not as exciting as a Prime Air delivery, the Amazon Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition is the company’s first e-reader with a color E-ink screen. Zack Nelson of JerryRigEverything shows us how this new screen works in his latest teardown video.
The 7-inch Colorsoft display was designed specifically for reading, without any of the harsh glare or intense light of a conventional backlit screen. It manages to do this using custom formulated coatings between the display layers to enhance the color, a light guide with micro-deflectors to minimize stray light, and an ultra-thin coating in the display stack to improve optical performance.
- Read in color – The new 7" Colorsoft display is high-contrast and easy on the eyes, with paper-like color that brings covers and content to life.
- Color your pages – Highlight your favorite scenes in yellow, orange, blue, and pink.
- Marathon reading – A single charge via USB-C lasts up to 8 weeks, or power up with the wireless charging dock (sold separately).
Digital picture frames should be made of this. Imagine one without a battery at all – you just hold your nfc phone to it and that transfers the image and powers the changing of the image at the same time,” said one commenter.
