After buying Kindles generation after generation, this i sone of the things that pushed me to Kobo. There are new readers on the market, and Amazon isn't taking it particularly well.

What I was expecting is for the next generation of Kindles to have an updated Scribe-type device (same size, but with added functions) which we got, but also a Paperwhite-sized device you could write on. And there's no reason I could think of that both of them couldn't have been in color.

Frankly, I didn't think they'd come out with a color device right now, because in terms of color saturation, Kaleido 3 isn't much to write home about. But if they were just going to make a Kaleido 3 device anyway, there's no reason they couldn't have made it pen-enabled. I recently got a Kobo Libra Colour, and it's not perfect by any means, but I think it shows a weakness in Amazon's strategy. If I were buying a reader now, i'd definitely take a serious look at Kobo.
