Color EReaders are really for specific use cases, if you read graphic novels, manga, comic books, very dependent on color highlighting, etc. then the color EReaders are a positive/enjoyable experience but if you only read books that are text heavy (and do NOT highlight passages) then color might be a luxury or a trend setter item but not a necessity.
Yeah I think I’ll stick to my kindle paperwhite and maybe wait until they make improvements with the color. Thanks for doing this and sharing your opinions!
Great review thanks for being honest, a lot of influencers are not showing the yellow bar or talking about if for that matter. I respect your honesty. I am waiting on a replacement, but have a feeling it will be the same thing. I hope the update will fix it.
I bought the new paper white because I originally had the first-generation paper white, and sometimes, I would get stuck on a certain page, and it would kick me out of the book, and I would have to download it. That’s why I bought the new paper: for the battery life. 💲
Yes, wait for them to fix it; it's very annoying. You will feel like you paid for a broken device, which is a big disappointment given such a highly anticipated upgrade.
I know they are planning to get an update soon for that yellow line. You can't see it in the video though so I am curious if it will bother me. I am getting this one next week and excited to have a e ink device in color and I like that the covers are softer colors. Especially since I can't read well on my ipad or phone due to some eye issues, they just strain too badly. I am excited for the highlighting in color. Color e ink tech is still very new so it would make sense that there would still be things not perfect for it. But its the same price as what the oasis was at though, so it doesn't bother me that much the cost as I was looking to get a replacement for my paperwhite anyway.
If they send you one with the yellow line, it will be very annoying; you will feel like you paid for a broken device. So you may want to wait and see if they can even fix it. Its and eye sore indeed.
@ well I have talked to friends about it and most of them say they barely notice it and didn’t bother them at all. It also sounds like something they can fix through an update. But I am not getting one for another week so hopefully they get it fixed by then.
I didn't notice it on mine, until I watched a review. But I can ignore it, plus I don't notice the yellow on the color pages. And I have the Kindle Oasis anyways.
Thanks for this honest review i cant wait for the update to this bc I have the kindle 11th generation kindle and twice it's kinda like glitched where the screen kept on blinkin to where i had to restart it both times for it to stop n i only had this kindle for 1yr and sometimes it will freeze up on mi when try to look up a book so when i heard the color soft was gonna come out n i heard the reviews for it n the yellow line at bottom i was like yeah ima hold of on gettin a new one n see the reviews for the new color soft n that price for the color soft is 😳😳 yeah its a hefty price
My understanding is that all e-ink screens are made by one company. That would mean they are all the same. It would just mean it is up to the customer to choose their preference. Kindle, kobo, onyx palma and boox, remarkable...all the same
Read in the kindle groups that amazon said there will be an update in next few days to rid of yellow line
Do you have the URlL for that discussion?
It's possible but alot of people are skeptical that a simple software fix is possible. It's hardware related. But prayers that it does work. 🙏
It's a hardware issue, they're replacing Kindle to pretty much everyone now.
Your wedding band is very unique! (Sorry, distracted!) I love my kindle fire and I think I’m just going to keep it

I love mine so much, no issues at all.
So do you not have the yellow line at the bottom like some do? This has been putting me off buying one but maybe it’s not on all of them.
I do not see one, I like mine a lot.
All the reviewers complaining about the yellow stripe that nobody can see in the videos and photos 💀
I didn't notice it on mine, until I watched a review a few minutes ago 😅
I'm returning mine. came out of the box with a blemish scratch in the lower right corner. and the yellowish hue
6:22 the moment thing started to go south 😢 yeah they’re gonna need to do some reworking cause so many folks are having issues with theirs
I sent mine back because of the yellow bar at the bottom. I couldn't stand it. Otherwise, it is beautiful.

I already returned mine 💔
I’m still not sure about the new color kindle. Especially after what I’ve been hearing. 💰💲

💰 the different color highlighting is very cool for you with your job!

@ I could get used to it too, but I paid too much money to force myself to get used to it, but keeping fingers crossed update comes soon.

Hey Tori what makes the color soft Kindle different from all the others😊
