Kindle e-readers have established a strong fanbase, particularly since the release of the initial Kindle Paperwhite in 2012. However, the dream of enjoying vibrant comic colors on a Kindle lingered until recently. In November, Amazon unveiled the much-awaited Kindle Colorsoft, which is now available for purchase at a remarkable $224.99, down from its original price of $279.99—making it the best deal since its launch, as tracked by price monitors. Upgrading from the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition to this colorful variant costs only an additional $25.

Additionally, there’s an opportunity to acquire it along with three months of free Kindle Unlimited (note that this will auto-renew unless cancelled). For Prime members, there’s even a chance to access free e-books. Here’s what the Colorsoft has to offer:

The Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition embodies exactly what its name suggests: an e-reader that brings color to the Kindle experience. It features the same design and specifications as the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, maintaining identical dimensions and weight while offering 32GB of storage. Essential features include an auto-adjusting front light, an IPX8 water-resistant rating, and wireless charging, alongside a lock screen free of ads showcasing either your current book’s cover or a default wallpaper. Although the Colorsoft’s battery life is listed at up to eight weeks—shorter than the Paperwhite’s twelve weeks—it remains impressive for typical users.

The seven-inch Kaleido 3 display boasts a resolution of 300 pixels per inch (ppi) for black-and-white content and 150 ppi for color. This innovative screen employs a unique, proprietary technology that enhances color quality. For comic enthusiasts, the Colorsoft Signature Edition excels: as highlighted in DailyHackly’s review, colors reflect newspaper-quality print, and a clever feature allows for close-ups of comic panels, letting readers immerse themselves in the artwork without the hassle of manual zooming.
