The Kindle Colorsoft with a color screen is now at its lowest price for Black Friday

If you are in the market for a new ereader, then you have to check out this amazing deal on the Kindle Colorsoft 16GB. For those just hearing about this now, it is a Kindle with a color screen. Right now, you can pick up this model for the low, low price of $169.99 - that's 32% off the list price of $249.99. It is also the lowest it has ever been on Amazon.

The Kindle Colorsoft features a familiar 7-inch glare-free display, but this time it is not limited to black and white. The Colorsoft display is optimized for color reading in several different ways compared to black and white. The resolution is lower at 150 ppi compared to 300 ppi you get with black and white. The light is warm and adjustable, letting you choose white to amber, and there are several color features. These include highlighting in multiple colors and a feature called Page Color that lets you invert page and text color like in Dark Mode, while keeping images and covers colorful.

While 16GB might sound tiny in this day and age, it really isn't if you think about it. You're going to be reading books on this device, and they don't really take up a lot of space. The longest book on Standard Ebooks, Samuel Pepys' The Diary, features 1.2 million words and has a reading time of over 73 hours and this only uses 3.4 MB of space. Given this, you'll be able to fit thousands of books on your new Kindle Colorsoft.

To be fair, you may want to read comics which could take up more space, so if that sounds like you, the 32GB Signature Edition is also discounted by 18% to $229.99.

While Amazon has incorporated a color screen on this device, the battery life is still really impressive. On a single charge, done over USB-C, you can expect to get a whopping eight weeks of battery life - that's about the same as two months without a charge! Not only that, but it is IPX8 waterproof, making it safe from splashes, and it supports 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz, making it a bit faster on some connections.

The Kindle Colorsoft comes with the Kindle Store, which contains over 15 million books. If you have Kindle Unlimited, this device gives you access to all-you-can-read works and Amazon Kids+, a curated library for young readers. Prime members also have access to free books that can be read on this Kindle.

The Kindle Colorsoft is sold and shipped by Amazon and comes with a free refund or replacement policy that extends to January 31, 2026, to protect you against any early faults.
