As Amazon started shipping its first coloured e-reader, some buyers found a defect on the Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition. There's a yellow, discoloured strip showing up at the bottom of the screen. Complaints regarding this issue have started to show up online. A Reddit user posted a thread about this problem, saying it's most visible when the Kindle is "supposed to be evenly lit and colored like a piece of paper."

Amazon has acknowledged the issue and is looking into what's causing it. Amazon spokesperson Jill Tornifoglio told The Verge, "If customers notice this on their device, they can reach out to our customer service team." It's unclear how widespread the problem is and whether it's a hardware or software issue. But we'll most likely hear more about it soon.
