The color model is expensive, indeed. My guess is that they will quietly offer discounts after the hype goes away.

  Yeah, black friday is near. I am thinking older models will be given higher discount via their deal site woot.com. And latest model on Amazon with 20-50 dollars off depending on original price.

    Don’t forget you can also trade in pretty much any old kindle in any condition for another 20% off (plus a few bucks for the old device itself).

  All their splash art shows comics. That makes sense, inasmuch as comics are a primary reason you'd want color in a book. But it still strikes me as a bizarre choice, since Amazon is only offering colors in their tiny form factor. They also make a larger device, and if you want color, you can't have it. Comics are unreadable on a 7" kindle's tiny screen anyway. What's up with the marketing?

    The screen tech is a bit too expensive in larger sizes for now, so it'll take a bit until you'll get a large fast color e-ink screen.

      >> What's up with the marketing? Why advertise a function that you know your device can't fulfill?
