I don’t know why it took me this lengthy to comprehend it, however one of many essential footage that Amazon makes use of to promote the Kindle Colorsoft utterly misrepresents the machine in numerous methods.
First off, the image (proven above) reveals 9 ebook covers in brilliant shade. It appears like an LCD display screen, not a shade E Ink display screen within the slightest. That’s not an correct illustration of shade E Ink in any respect. The image that Kobo makes use of for the Kobo Clara Color is much more lifelike.
Secondly, Kindles don’t present a full display screen of 9 ebook covers wherever on the precise interface. The library view doesn’t look something like that in any respect. Probably the most books you’ll be able to see in cowl view at one time is 6, and so they typically have completely different sized thumbnails, with extra white spacing, and there isn’t a black background like that wherever on the Colorsoft.
One other element that most individuals wouldn’t discover is the actual fact the Colorsoft seems to be sitting upright on a flat floor based mostly on the shadows. In actual life that wouldn’t work because the energy button stands out on the decrease edge, which retains it from sitting flat, and it’s going to inadvertently set off the facility button in the event you set it up like that.
Corporations typically use phoney advertising footage to make their merchandise look higher than they are surely, however Amazon is taking issues additional than traditional this time. Most of their Kindle footage are fairly correct, however that Colorsoft image is so utterly inaccurate that it ought to’ve by no means been used.
The auto-playing video that Amazon has on the product web page for the Kindle Colorsoft is even worse. The colours look as brilliant and clear as a high-quality high-resolution LCD show. It’s utterly unrealistic. Despite the fact that I believe the display screen on the Colorsoft appears higher than different shade ereaders, misrepresenting a product by that a lot is sure to result in issues. Amazon is getting what they deserve with all of the detrimental opinions for the Colorsoft.
