Amazon says it’s working to fix issues with the Kindle Colorsoft, its first color e-reader, following complaints from early buyers that a yellow band of discoloration appears on the bottom of the display.

The company is contacting customers to better understand the issue with the goal of rolling out a software fix, according to users on Reddit.

The Kindle Colorsoft only just launched, and it seems that this new color-screen e-reader has been nothing but beset by problems.

A Reddit user posted a thread with images (see below), saying it’s most obvious when the Kindle “is supposed to be evenly lit and colored like a piece of paper.” Many others with the same issue say they’ve exchanged their Colorsoft for a new one or simply returned it.

A yellow band has been appearing at the bottom of the Kindle Colorsoft display. It looks like the bottom part of the screen is turning yellow through a gradient. Amazon has responded by adjusting the production processes to prevent this from happening in devices in production.
