Amazon Kindle Review (Blog)

[Hunter Nuttall]

There’s a charging indicator light that is yellow while the Kindle is charging and turns green when it’s fully charged. Unfortunately since I’m colorblind, I can’t tell the difference between those colors.

But Steve can tell the difference between green and yellow traffic lights, right? You'd think that something so important would be tested on colorblind people. Maybe different shades of green and yellow make a big difference.

With traffic lights it's the yellow and red that are harder to tell apart because the green is practically white. I can tell the difference by the light's position on the traffic signal though (yellow is in the middle).

Only time I screwed up was when I was driving at night one time, and there was a solo flashing red light at an intersection. The red light was unusually bright. Instead of stopping at it, I slowly drove through it w/o stopping because I thought it was flashing yellow. Flashing red is like a stop sign, but flashing yellow simply means slow down. That was when I was 16 though.
