Overview

• A Portuguese-speaking Reddit user shared images of a device labeled “Kindle Petit Color,” suggesting Amazon is working on a smaller color E Ink reader.
• The prototype leak claims independent saturation adjustments for individual colors and a “progressive colors” feature that shifts text and UI hues as readers advance through a book.
• Leaked photos show thicker bezels and a reduced form factor compared with the standard Kindle, hinting at a lower-cost alternative to the current Colorsoft lineup.
• Amazon has not acknowledged the leak and the single-source nature of the report prompts uncertainty over the prototype’s name, features and eventual release.
• Technology analysts caution that a Kaleido-style color E Ink panel could sacrifice text sharpness for richer tones, raising skepticism about the novel display claims.
