In an exciting development for e-reader enthusiasts, Amazon has made its color screen Kindle Colorsoft more affordable. Following the successful launch of the Kindle Colorsoft last year, the retailer announced a new, budget-friendly version of this popular device on Thursday. This new edition is priced at just $249.99, offering a $30 discount off the standard retail price of $279.99.
The latest Kindle Colorsoft model comes with 16GB of storage, a change from the original 32GB version. This storage capacity is perfect for avid readers who enjoy a wide selection of titles without needing extensive space. With its high-contrast Colorsoft display, the new model maintains the engaging visual experience that the Kindle Colorsoft is known for, making it particularly suitable for browsing comics and graphic novels.
One of the standout features of the Kindle Colorsoft is its adjustable, glare-free display, which enhances reading comfort, whether indoors or outdoors. Users can enjoy up to eight weeks of battery life, allowing for extended reading sessions without the need for frequent charging. Moreover, the device offers a customizable reading experience, with the ability to invert the traditional black text and white background, catering to those who prefer a dark mode-like setting.
The new 16GB Kindle Colorsoft model comes packed with several impressive features. It includes an adjustable warm light for comfortable reading at night, fast page turns for seamless navigation, and even a complimentary three-month subscription to Kindle Unlimited. This subscription grants users access to over 4 million e-books, enriching their reading experience even further.
However, it’s important to note that this model does not include the auto-adjusting front light, wireless charging, or the larger storage capacity available in the Signature Edition.
In addition to the standard model, Amazon has also launched a Kindle Colorsoft Kids edition, designed specifically for young readers. This version ships with an illustrated cover, providing a fun and engaging aesthetic for children. It comes with a two-year guarantee and a one-year subscription to Amazon Kids+, which gives access to a variety of books, games, videos, and apps.
Priced at $269.99, the Kindle Colorsoft Kids edition is equipped with features that support reading development. These include a vocabulary builder to enhance word skills, a feature called Word Wise that assists children in learning new vocabulary, and the OpenDyslexic font to accommodate readers with dyslexia. Additionally, Bluetooth connectivity allows for listening to audiobooks, making it a versatile tool for learning.
With the introduction of the new affordable Kindle Colorsoft and the innovative Kids edition, Amazon continues to enhance the e-reading experience for users of all ages. These devices not only provide excellent features and functionalities but also promote a love for reading in children. Whether for personal use or as a gift, the new Kindle Colorsoft models represent a significant advancement in the world of e-readers.
