Amazon has recently unveiled two new e-readers featuring color displays, providing a refreshing change from the standard black and white e-ink screens. These new devices complement the existing Colorsoft Signature Edition Kindle, which introduced the vibrant screen upgrade last year.
The first of the updated models, the Kindle Colorsoft, boasts 16GB of storage, rapid page turns, an adjustable warm light, extended battery life lasting weeks, and complete access to the Kindle bookstore. While it may not offer all the features of the Signature Edition, such as additional storage and wireless charging, the Colorsoft Kindle comes at a more affordable price point.
Priced at £239.99, the standard Colorsoft Kindle is a slightly cheaper alternative to the Signature version, which is priced at £269.99. Customers purchasing the new e-reader can benefit from a 20% discount by trading in their existing device and receive three months of free access to Kindle Unlimited.
In addition, Amazon is introducing the Amazon Kindle Colorsoft Kids, priced at £259, which includes 12 months of Amazon Kids+, a kid-friendly cover, and a 2-year worry-free guarantee. Amazon Kids+ is a subscription service offering a wide selection of books and audiobooks for young readers, typically priced at £4.99 per month but included for free with this Kindle purchase.
The Colorsoft Kids model features a colorful display, a water-resistant design, and a built-in light for nighttime reading, aiming to engage young readers and encourage longer reading sessions. Amazon’s goal is to foster a love for reading in children, with statistics showing increased reading time among kids using Kindles with colorful displays.
Both the Kindle Colorsoft and the Kindle Colorsoft Kids are now available for purchase on Amazon and through various UK retailers.
