Amazon Kindle Colorsoft Hits All-Time Low, Matching Black Friday Pricing for a Best-Selling E-Reader During Spring Sale

Want to read more books? A new Kindle makes it easier.

The new Amazon Kindle Colorsoft eReader lets you read your favorite books in color without the distractions of a tablet. Adding a full-color display to the eReader lets you finally enjoy color graphics and illustrations on a Kindle, such as travel guides, comic books, and children’s books. Additionally, you can add a color highlight to your reading material. The 16GB of memory provides ample space to store hundreds of books. Plus, it retains all the traditional features of a Kindle, including the glare-free display, adjustable warm light, and extended battery life.

This new Kindle Colorsoft is available at a discounted price of $170, down from $250, which is a $80 or 32% discount.

A clear and crisp e-reader with a color screen

The 7-inch ColorSoft display is the defining feature of this Kindle. It is designed to provide you with a clear view in bright sunlight while minimizing glare. As such, the ColorSoft display is ideal for travel guides, cookbooks, graphic novels, and other illustrated titles that may have been lost in translation using a grayscale display. In addition, the ColorSoft display lets you add colorful highlights when taking notes in your books. Instead of creating a large stack of bookmarks in the same color, you can use various hues to differentiate the types of notes you are making.

Despite the addition of a color display, the Kindle ColorSoft maintains the reading comfort features that Kindle customers have come to expect. The display is still glare-free, and the warm light is still adjustable. Additionally, the battery life has improved significantly: the device now lasts up to 8 weeks with a single USB-C charge. Also, since the display doesn’t require power when not turning the page, you can leave it in standby for months. The ColorSoft performs well in both direct sunlight and low-light environments. Additionally, it is IPX8 waterproofed. Therefore, you can take it with you by the pool, in the shower, or near a spill without worrying about damaging it.

With 16GB of built-in storage, there should be no problem storing thousands of books. The Colorsoft also has access to the Kindle Store, so if you decide to purchase a Kindle Unlimited subscription, you have instant access to tens of thousands of titles. The device comes with the Kindle ColorSoft, a USB-C charging cable, and a Quick Start Guide, so you can begin using your device immediately after opening the box. It also comes ad-free, so there’s no additional fee to remove ads, unlike some of the cheaper Kindles.

At $170, reduced from $250, the Kindle ColorSoft is a great way to upgrade from an older eReader or to finally make your way into the Kindle ecosystem.
