As first reported by The Verge, a strip of yellow is marring the bottom of the Kindle Colorsoft display for some users, leading to a rather dismal 2.6 star rating (at the time of writing) on the Amazon listing page in the US.

The Colorsoft is one of the more conflicting Kindles of recent years. On one level it's the most adaptable Kindle yet in terms of what content you can happily read on it. Swapping between comics and novels is completely hassle-free, and it feels like a real look at what the future holds for Amazon's e-readers.
