  "account": "Amazon raised prices on Kindle e-readers back in August, making Prime Day deals the best chance to snag a deal on a new Kindle. There are new Kindle models available, including Kindle Paperwhite, Kindle Colorsoft, and Kindle Scribe, with kids' versions of all three.\n\nThe Kindle Colorsoft is one of the best deals on Prime Day, with a $100 discount, making it only $20 more expensive than the usual Paperwhite recommendation. It adds a color screen, adjustable warm light, and wireless charging to the Paperwhite, making it worth the extra cost for those who want a better experience. However, new Colorsoft versions with an aluminum backing and upgraded displays are planned, so there's no rush to buy this version.\n\nThe Kindle Scribe is a digital notebook with e-reader capabilities. The third-generation Scribe is currently on sale for less than its previous generation, making it worth considering despite its higher price tag. It connects to Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive, making it a more powerful digital notebook. A color version of the Kindle Scribe (Colorsoft) is also available, but it's too expensive for what it offers.\n\nThe Kindle Paperwhite is a great e-reader with a 7-inch screen, up to 12 weeks of battery life, and snappy screen performance. The Signature version comes with an auto-adjusting front light and wireless charging, making it a worthwhile purchase despite the price hike from August. The Paperwhite and Paperwhite Signature are still affordable on Prime Day, although the discounts are not as good as before.\n\nFor kids, the Kindle Colorsoft Kids edition is recommended due to its color screen and included Kids+ content for a full year. It also comes with a kid-friendly cover to protect it from drops. Other recommended Kindles on sale include the Paperwhite and Kindle Scribe, although their discounts are not as good as the Colorsoft.",
