The brand-new Kindle Colorsoft
With the Kindle Colorsoft, Amazon brings a Kindle with a color display to the market for the first time. It's said to deliver "paper-like color that brings covers and content to life" and offers both high contrast visuals and fast display performance.
The Kindle Colorsoft's display has a new light guide with nitride LEDs that improves colors and increases brightness without blurring details. It'll be possible to choose between different color styles and enlarge images.

If you're ready to upgrade, Amazon has one such monitor on sale for just $100 today, which is about $70 less than even the cheapest ones we've seen lately. And it comes with a high-quality IPS panel to boot! (It's originally $160 but knocked down to $110 right now, plus there's an extra $10 on-page coupon you can clip that gets it down to $100.)
What's the catch? Good question, savvy shopper. The catch is that this is a generic white-label brand that I've never heard of before. Though the Amazon reviews average 4.4 stars with more than a thousand ratings, those reviews aren't always trustworthy. So while this might be a new monitor — not refurbished — I'd keep an eye on the return window. (The monitor does come with a 3-year warranty, if you trust it.)
Otherwise, it's an undeniably good deal for a 2560×1440 display. The IPS panel makes this monitor color-accurate enough for photo editing or light video work, which is a big plus for me. Its 100Hz refresh rate probably isn't up to competitive gaming standards, but it'll still give you a nice boost over any other budget monitor in this price range.
Connections are pretty sparse, with just two HDMI, one DisplayPort, and the usual headphone jack. And a standard VESA mount on the rear means this would make a great multi-monitor expansion with a monitor arm.
White-label distinction aside, this is a phenomenal price for a monitor of this size and specs, so grab it on Amazon for just $100 while you can! Don't forge
