The Kindle Colorsoft is little doubt one of many greatest improvements Amazon has launched to its Kindle vary ever because it was first launched about 16 years in the past. Sadly, issues don’t appear to be going all too nicely with the machine. Whereas we now have seen a yellow band of sunshine showing alongside the underside of the Colorsoft, right here is data courtesy of the e-E book Reader Weblog that claims the e-reader lacks a system-wide Darkish Mode. This needs to be disappointing to those that favor the Darkish Mode to additional scale back the glare that the white show may trigger.
Nevertheless, not like the yellow mild, the dearth of a Darkish Mode isn’t truly an error however a deliberate design effort. Amazon additionally mentions on the Kindle Colorsoft product web page stating darkish Mode is unavailable on the machine.
“We Need You To Know
Darkish Mode is at present not accessible on this machine. Prospects can allow an identical studying expertise inside thousands and thousands of books utilizing the Web page Coloration characteristic, which, like Darkish Mode, inverts the e book web page shade to black and the e book textual content shade to white. To allow the characteristic in eligible books, open your e book, entry the Fast Actions menu, and toggle the Web page Coloration to black. “
Curiously, Amazon is utilizing the time period ‘at present’ which makes us really feel all of this may be momentary in spite of everything. Possibly this being the primary shade Kindle e-reader they’ve provide you with, the intention proper now might be to establish buyer response on this earlier than developing with one thing extra definitive. Possibly they hoped patrons could be too engrossed with the colour side to be bothered with the Darkish Mode.
As issues stand proper now, you’ll be able to invert the colours to have white textual content towards a black background however it is just accessible whereas studying. In contrast to the opposite Kindle gadgets, it isn’t system-wide because the menu, the house display, and each different portion nonetheless have the white show. On Colorsoft, the Darkish Mode is nowhere to be discovered within the accessibility menu or the short settings menu, as is the case with different Kindle gadgets.
On Colorsoft, you have got the ‘Web page Coloration’ choice which you can invoke to invert the colour. Nevertheless, the choice is offered solely whereas studying. The background turns black whereas the texts are in white although if you swipe down from the highest or get again to the house display, all of that’s in white. It’s only the e book portion that displays darkish mode. As already acknowledged, you gained’t even get the ‘Web page Coloration’ setting whereas on the Residence display or if you find yourself within the Kindle Retailer part, or for that matter, anyplace else.
As it’s with the faint yellow glow on the backside, the absence of a system-wide Fark Mode shouldn’t be an enormous concern given that you just nonetheless can have the darkish Mode impact whereas studying, which is what doubtless issues probably the most. Additionally, it’s doubtless Amazon will launch a extra complete darkish Mode for Colorsoft as nicely someday later, as is the case with all different Kindle gadgets.
