Amazon unveiled its first color Kindle, the Kindle Colorsoft, priced at $280. Alongside this, the company also released a new version of the Kindle Scribe with improved features and an updated entry-level Kindle model.
Inc. is rolling out a refreshed set of Kindle s, including the first model capable of displaying colors since the company began making the e-reader 17 years ago.
The Kindle Colorsoft starts at $280 and will ship at the end of the month, the e-commerce company said in a statement on Wednesday. The model will let users see book covers and images in color and make it easier for people to highlight content, Amazon said., which now faces competition from devices like the Barnes & Noble Nook, Rakuten Kobo and Onyx Boox that already offer color. The new entry could help keep consumers from defecting to rival models.
The company says battery life on the new models ranges from weeks to three months — a selling point compared with tablets or phones, which often need to be charged nightly.The Kindle, first released in 2007, was Amazon’s first consumer electronics device. It launched at a time when books were essential to the online retailer’s business.
Amazon has said that its Kindle business is profitable, largely thanks to book and subscription revenue. Sales last year hit their highest level in a decade, with most purchases coming from first-time owners, the Seattle-based company said.Dallas-based DataBank nabs $1.5 billion Australian investment to expand data center reach
