It’s reported that Amazon has fixed the yellow colour banding on the Kindle Colorsoft.
If you’re keeping track of yourKindle news, you’ll know that the launch of the new Colorsoft wasn’t as smooth asAmazonmight have wanted. Soon after the brand’s first full-colour e-reader was released, reports of yellow banding on the screen started to surface online. Thankfully, that problem has been fixed.
It’s worth considering however, that not all Colorsoft devices have the yellow banding. The Colorsoft devices that I’ve seen have had a clear display, and inour reviewwe didn’t find discolouration to be a problem, so it might be that the model you’ve bought is absolutely fine.
Where next for Amazon Kindle?
Late in 2024, Amazon refreshed all of itsKindle models, releasing the fantastic newPaperwhite, while also stepping into new territory with the Colorsoft, its first colour e-reader.
The Paperwhite is Amazon’s biggest seller and most popular Kindle, now with faster page turns and a larger display, making it a great device for reading. The Colorsoft is much the same, but that colour display opens up a range of new opportunities for Kindle as a platform.
However, Amazon didn’t change the store, or the user interface, with the launch of the new devices, saying that it didn’t want to alter too much and upset the many fans of its devices. And in our opinion, the weakest part of the Kindle ecosystem is the user interface and the Kindle Store experience.

I’m sure that there will be more changes to Colorsoft to speed up its use, but I suspect that the big breakthrough in colour will come with a colourScribe. The larger format device lends itself to colour – especially for comics and graphic novels – in a way that the smaller devices don’t.
What I personally want to see, as a Kindle user, is a return of the Kindle Oasis, principally for its page turn buttons. Unfortunately, that doesn’t appear to be something that’s going to happen.
