The Kindle Colorsoft, Amazon’s first e-reader with a color display, has received its first price cut. With the latest discount, you can pick up a Colorsoft Signature Edition for just $230. That's a saving of $50 over its usual $280 retail price.
The deal is exclusive to Prime members and can be combined with Amazon's trade-in offer for extra savings. Amazon is also throwing in three months of free Kindle Unlimited, which gives you access to over 4 million ebooks, thousands of audiobooks, and comics.
The Kindle Colorsoft is all about that sweet color E Ink display. If you’re someone who primarily reads comics and graphic novels, the Colorsoft offers the best reading experience of all Kindles and is worth the premium over the otherwise identical Paperwhite Signature Edition. It comes with a beautiful 7-inch E Ink display that reads like paper, and it's far easier on the eyes than fancy OLED or Mini LED displays found on phones and tablets. Just like the Paperwhite Signature Edition, the Colorsoft also features an auto-adjusting front light and warm light that optimizes the screen based on ambient lighting. And since this is an E Ink display, the battery life is phenomenal—we’re talking multiple weeks, not days, on a single charge. Elsewhere, the e-reader supports both USB-C charging and wireless charging, boasts IPX8 water resistance, and comes with 32GB of onboard storage. You can also connect your Bluetooth headphones and listen to audiobooks via Audible.
That said, if you don’t care for the color display, the Paperwhite is still your best bet—and it's affordable too, starting at $160 for the 16GB model. It offers a crisper black-and-white reading experience, faster page turns, and the highest contrast ratio of any Kindle. Not to mention its battery lasts four weeks more (up to 12 weeks) than the Colorsoft (up to 8 weeks).
