Amazon is launching a cheaper color Kindle
'Our customers have loved reading Kindle in color — on average, they spend more time on Kindle Colorsoft and read hundreds more pages than on our other Kindle devices,' the company says in a blog post. 'That's why we're excited to introduce two new additions to the Kindle Colorsoft family.'
The cheaper Colorsoft costs $30 less than the Signature Edition, but the more costly model has a few extra perks, including 32GB of storage, an auto-adjusting front light, and wireless charging. The kids-focused bundle, which Amazon is calling Kindle Colorsoft Kids, comes with a Colorsoft (the 16GB model, according to spokesperson Connor Rice), a special cover (you can pick one of two options), and one year of its Amazon Kids Plus subscription.
Shortly after its release, Amazon briefly paused shipments of the Signature Edition following customer complaints about a yellow bar on the screen. Amazon now has a message on the Signature Edition's store listing acknowledging that 'a small number of customers have reported a yellow band,' and an Amazon spokesperson told The Verge that the company made 'a combination of software and display adjustments' to address the issue.

What To Expect From Uber's (UBER) Q2 Earnings
Ride sharing and on-demand delivery platform Uber (NYSE:UBER) will be reporting results this Wednesday before the bell. Here's what you need to know. Uber missed analysts' revenue expectations by 0.5% last quarter, reporting revenues of $11.53 billion, up 13.8% year on year. It was a mixed quarter for the company, with strong growth in its users. It reported 170 million users, up 14.1% year on year. Is Uber a buy or sell going into earnings? Read our full analysis here, it's free. This quarter, analysts are expecting Uber's revenue to grow 16.6% year on year to $12.48 billion, in line with the 15.9% increase it recorded in the same quarter last year. Adjusted earnings are expected to come in at $0.82 per share. The majority of analysts covering the company have reconfirmed their estimates over the last 30 days, suggesting they anticipate the business to stay the course heading into earnings. Uber has missed Wall Street's revenue estimates three times over the last two years. Looking at Uber's peers in the consumer internet segment, some have already reported their Q2 results, giving us a hint as to what we can expect. Fiverr delivered year-on-year revenue growth of 14.8%, beating analysts' expectations by 0.9%, and Shutterstock reported revenues up 21.3%, topping estimates by 7.5%. Fiverr traded down 11.7% following the results while Shutterstock's stock price was unchanged. Read our full analysis of Fiverr's results here and Shutterstock's results here. Investors in the consumer internet segment have had steady hands going into earnings, with share prices up 1.5% on average over the last month. Uber is down 8% during the same time and is heading into earnings with an average analyst price target of $100.54 (compared to the current share price of $88.90). Today's young investors likely haven't read the timeless lessons in Gorilla Game: Picking Winners In High Technology because it was written more than 20 years ago when Microsoft and Apple were first establishing their supremacy. But if we apply the same principles, then enterprise software stocks leveraging their own generative AI capabilities may well be the Gorillas of the future. So, in that spirit, we are excited to present our Special Free Report on a profitable, fast-growing enterprise software stock that is already riding the automation wave and looking to catch the generative AI next.

Analysts Say $127.3 Trillion Liquidity Surge Could Be Rocket Fuel for Bitcoin
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Digital asset investment firm CoinShares predicts a potential surge in Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: BTC) value, suggesting a 65% increase if the cryptocurrency captures a small portion of the global liquidity and gold's market cap. What Happened: CoinShares' report posits that Bitcoin could experience a significant rally if it manages to seize just 2% of the global liquidity (global M2) and 5% of gold's market cap. The predictions are based on the total addressable market (TAM) model, a tool used to estimate the maximum market opportunity available to a product or service. In this case, the model is applied to Bitcoin, assuming it can capture the entire market. Trending: Be part of the breakthrough that could replace plastic as we know it— The report states, 'If you believe bitcoin is unlikely to compete with the cash positions of Corporate Treasuries or FX Reserves (assigning them 0%) but more likely to take a share of Global M2 (let's assume 2%) and Gold (5%), the sum of those contributions would estimate a value of $189,000/BTC.' Currently, the global liquidity (global M2) is valued at $127.3 trillion, while the total market cap of all the mined gold is $23.9 trillion. CoinShares suggests that Bitcoin is 'increasingly likely to obtain a higher share of monetary markets' as it evolves into a 'more useful form of money.' "Bitcoin does not need to replace the global monetary system to be profoundly valuable. Capturing a small share of these enormous markets would be more than enough," the report prediction comes at a time when Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are gaining traction as alternative investment options. The potential for Bitcoin to capture a portion of the global liquidity and gold's market cap could significantly impact its value, making it an attractive option for investors. The report's findings underscore the growing recognition of Bitcoin's potential in the financial market. At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $113,352.03.
