Amazon is likely to bring a new budget coloured Kindle<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Amazon introduced its first Colorsoft Kindle e-reader last year and we could soon get a cheaper e-reader variant from the company with support for coloured elements. Amazon has not confirmed these plans yet but a prototype of the supposed new Kindle variant has been spotted on tech forums in the last few days. <\/span><\/p>\n

The post from the tipster shares details about the screen size and its possible launch price which should have many people excited. Coloured e-readers don\u2019t come cheap but Amazon could make it possible with its new Kindle model.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Amazon\u2019s Budget Coloured Kindle: What We Know<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The new Kindle variant leaked comes with the name Kindle Petit Color which suggests its focus on having a colour e-ink display to read material besides the regular novels and PDFs. The word Petit means small, and the tipster hints the Petit Color Kindle to feature a smaller screen than the regular Kindle Paperwhite model.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The first Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition was launched at $279.99 (Rs 24,500 approx) so the Petit Color should be priced under $200 (Rs 16,800 approx) which will make it a viable product to launch in markets like India, where Amazon skipped launching the premium version last year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

E-readers have generally been available at a nominal price, except for models like Kindle Oasis but the market is now clearly eyeing the colour display segment, with brands like Kobo also bringing its Libra Color model to India earlier this year. <\/span><\/p>\n

Some might say that having coloured screen on an e-reader completely goes against the logic of having these devices but with the market mature for anime and Manga content, there is a definite case for coloured e-readers to stick around and cater to the needs of these consumers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Amazon\u2019s Kindle launches have been muted in India over the last few years. But the company finally brought its latest Kindle Paperwhite to the country with the promise of a faster processor that improves your reading experience and longer battery life. It comes in a single 16GB storage variant and priced in India at Rs 16,999 for the single black colour option. <\/span><\/p>\n
