Amazon's Kindle Colorsoft Launches Without Dark Mode Until 2026

Amazon's new Kindle Colorsoft e-readers ship without Dark Mode, a feature the company won't introduce until 2026. The delay stems from color E Ink's technical complexity: four-particle pigment systems demand more sophisticated display inversion algorithms than monochrome screens. Competitors like Kobo and PocketBook already offer dark interfaces on their color models, creating a temporary but meaningful competitive disadvantage for Amazon in the premium segment.
