Hot Pink Kindle

Amazon rolled out a new version of the Kindle, but I don't think this is going to help The New York Times. All this does is draw attention to the fact that American newspapers look so drab and lifeless that Kindle owners won't think twice about making the switch from paper to e-ink. As much as I love my Kindle, textbooks and newspapers aren't going to win over consumers. A color screen that would make me reconsider my subscription to the dead tree edition of Wired, however, just might do the trick.

Update: Via Marginal Revolution, why the Kindle won't save newspapers.
