I love Kindle e-readers since first kindle paperwhite It came out in 2012, but until recently, that was just my dream of reading colorful comics on a Kindle. But then, the Kindle ColorSoft finally came out last summer, and now it’s on sale $169.99 (Originally $249.99) during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale. And if you can spare the extra $2, you can get the bundle with the clear case currently available $171.98 (Originally $286.98). According to the price-tracking tool, this is the biggest discount the device has seen since its release.
You also get it with three months of free Kindle Unlimited (it will automatically renew unless you cancel), and if you’re a Prime member, you can fill it up with some free e-books. and here are All The best deals on Kindles during the sale.
The Kindle ColorSoft Signature Edition is exactly what it sounds like: It’s a Kindle e-reader with color. It has essentially the same hardware and design as the Kindle Paperwhite, with similar dimensions, weight, and 16GB of storage. It also has the same features like adjustable warm light IPX8 Waterproof rating, and an ad-free lock screen that either shows the cover of the book you’re reading, or a generic wallpaper. Battery life is shorter than the Paperwhite, with Amazon suggesting it should last eight weeks compared to 12 for the Paperwhite, but that’s still plenty for most people. That said, according to our review, black and white content (like regular books) can look poor due to the technology that enables its color display. So, unless you are a dedicated comics reader, ColorSoft may not be the best choice for you.
What do you think so far?
The seven-inch Kaleido 3 display offers the industry standard 300 pixels per inch (ppi) for black-and-white content and 150 ppi for color, but it employs a unique, Amazon-developed stack that improves color quality. If you love reading comics, this is where the ColorSoft Signature Edition shines: The colors look like a printed newspaper, and there’s a feature that provides a close-up of each comic panel so you can enjoy the art without having to manually zoom into each panel.
