Are you in the market for a new Kindle device to read your ebooks on? If so, why not pick up the latest model of the Kindle Colorsoft and experience Kindle in a whole new way? Gone is the black and white color scheme; now you can experience books in full color thanks to the 7-inch Colorsoft display, which offers high contrast, is easy on the eyes, and brings covers and content to life with paper-like color.
Right now, this Kindle is at its lowest price to date of just $219.99, down 12% from $249.99.
The new display is optimized for color reading, which is a different experience from the Kindle Paperwhite display, which is optimized for black and white. The new device allows for highlighting in multiple colors (yellow, orange, blue, and pink) and has a Page Color feature that inverts the book text and background, offering a similar, but different, experience to a dark mode. It also features a waterproof design, and a single charge via USB-C lasts up to eight weeks.
The Kindle Colorsoft display is a pretty new technology that has been optimized for reading in color and is different from the Paperwhite display. The Colorsoft display can be changed from white to amber and is designed for comfortable reading in various lighting conditions, including bright sunlight. If you do decide to read the Kindle Colorsoft outdoors, it maintains a glare-free display that Kindle users have come to expect. The display’s purpose is to bring color to specific content, such as the book’s cover, travel guides, graphic novels, and highlights.
The Kindle Colorsoft has a 7-inch glare-free display with 300 ppi for black and white and 150 ppi for color. This particular model that we’re discussing here has 16GB of storage, which should be ample for ebooks. It has up to eight weeks of battery life, which, while good, is quite a bit lower than the Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Scribe, which both have a battery life of 12 weeks. Nevertheless, eight weeks is ample and will mean you won’t be charging it up too frequently.
The Kindle Colorsoft is a Climate Pledge Friendly product with sustainability features. It’s made from 18% recycled materials, and the battery is made from 100% recycled cobalt. The product’s packaging is also 100% recyclable. The device is built to last as it’s waterproof. There’s also a 1-year limited warranty included for free in case you have any issues with the device that you didn’t cause.
