Dick Smith has been running TV advertisements for the Amazon Kindle 
eBook reader. These depict the Kindle's screen with text highlighted in 
yellow. Dick Smith is selling two models of the 6 Inch screen Kindle: 
Wi-Fi and 3g. However, neither of these, nor any any other released 
Kindle model, has a color screen. This advertisement is misleading and 
should be changed to remove the color from the Kindle screen.

The Kindle does have some attractive features, such as a long battery 
life. The 3G model also has free 3G wireless access in Australia and 
many countries and a usable (if limited) web browser.
