The color screen enhances the user interface, allowing for full-color book covers and a more vibrant standby display.

Nope. (Score:2)
That's a lie. I've got one right here that somebody gave me years ago. Says Kindle on it, has a color screen.
Why make stupid claims that are easily disprovable?

Cause we all want to read colored fonts? How else would we know the author is being satirical?

The headline is a little 'off.' It may be the first color eInk display Kindle. They just missed that one little tidbit: eInk.
It's neat to see some progress on color eInk, but it's still not enough to make me want a Kindle.
