Kindle Colorsoft owners complain of a yellow bar on the e-reader’s screen

People have started receiving their orders of Amazon’s first color e-reader, the Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition, and many say they’re disappointed to find a yellow, discolored strip at the bottom of the display. Complaints about the $279.99 e-reader’s display have spread online and dragged down its Amazon star rating, and some report customer service reps say a fix is on the way.

It’s possible the discoloration will be corrected with a software update, as one person who replied posted a screenshot in which a customer service agent appeared to confirm that Amazon is working on issuing a fix for it. Multiple people said in another thread that the issue didn’t appear until after an initial software update, so there may be something to that. We’ve reached out to Amazon for comment.

It’s not immediately clear how widespread the issue is. On Amazon’s website, where the Kindle Colorsoft is sitting at a 2.6-star average rating as of this writing, a large portion of both good and bad reviews point out the discoloration. Some say the yellow bar is hardly noticeable, while others say it’s too distracting to keep.

Our own review unit of the new e-reader falls in the former category — The Verge’s Andrew Liszewski, who is testing the device now, said the discoloration is more obvious in pictures than in real life, and he wouldn’t have noticed if not for others’ complaints. You can see for yourself in the images below.
