Amazon’s new Kindle Colorsoft is a premium e-reader with a premium price
The latest model is lighter and thinner than its predecessor and features an edge-to-edge display. But if you already own the first-generation Colorsoft, there’s little reason to upgrade.
Amazon has introduced its latest Kindle lineup, featuring a new basic Kindle, Paperwhite, and a premium Colorsoft model. Priced at $290, the Colorsoft stands out as a high-end e-reader. The basic model offers 16GB storage, while the Signature Edition doubles the storage to 32GB and comes in either graphite or maroon-like Fig finish with an aluminum back.
The original Colorsoft debuted in 2024, and this version is sleeker and lighter, with a full-edge display. Amazon's Colorsoft might not be the most vibrant option, but its color display truly enhances the reading experience, especially for comics, graphic novels, cookbooks, or users who prefer highlighting passages in various hues.
The screen’s adjustable color temperature and auto-brightness feature are also beneficial, ensuring comfortable reading in various settings. The repositioned power button on the top-right corner is less likely to be accidentally pressed, improving usability. The device is waterproof, an advantage for readers who enjoy using their e-readers in different environments.
Although the Colorsoft is pricier than the basic Kindle or Paperwhite, it’s a worthwhile investment for those who desire a color e-reader, particularly for reading visually rich content.
