Amazon introduces Kindle Colorsoft and Kindle Colorsoft Kids: What is new
Amazon has expanded its Kindle lineup with two new devices: a more affordable Kindle Colorsoft and a Kindle Colorsoft Kids Edition. Priced at $249.99 and $269.99 respectively, the new e-readers retain key features from the original Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition, while targeting a broader audience, including young readers. Both these devices are currently limited to the US. The announcement comes a year after Amazon launched the Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition, its first e-reader with a colour E Ink display, priced at $279.99. The new models bring down the cost while preserving essential features such as colour highlighting, adjustable warm light, and support for colour graphic novels. Kindle Colorsoft: Price and Features Kindle Colorsoft (16GB): $249.99 Availability: Yet to be announced for India The new Kindle Colorsoft comes with a 7-inch glare-free colour display and supports up to eight weeks of battery life. Users can enjoy colour cover browsing, colour graphic novels, and multi-colour highlights (yellow, orange, blue, pink) for a more immersive reading experience. Core features include: High-contrast colour display Adjustable warm light Dark mode Three-month Kindle Unlimited subscription However, the 16GB version does not support wireless charging or the auto-adjusting front light, which are available in the higher-end Signature Edition. Kindle Colorsoft Kids: Designed for Young Readers Priced at $269.99, the Kindle Colorsoft Kids Edition includes: A colourful illustrated cover Two-year worry-free guarantee One-year subscription to Amazon Kids+ The Kids Edition also features tools aimed at improving reading skills, including: Word Wise Vocabulary Builder OpenDyslexic font for readers with dyslexia Bluetooth support for audiobooks Amazon says the Kids Edition is designed to encourage reading through personalised features, parental controls, and curated content. As of now, Amazon has not confirmed availability for the Indian market, but the inclusion of parental features and more affordable pricing suggests a wider rollout could follow. Both devices aim to bring colour to digital reading while supporting a range of users—from casual readers to children building reading skills.

Amazon makes the Kindle Colorsoft cheaper and adds a Kids version
Amazon has launched two new Kindle models: a more affordable version of the Kindle Colorsoft and the first-ever Kindle made specifically for kids with a colour display. The new 16GB Kindle Colorsoft is available now for $249.99 in the US and £239.99 in the UK and includes three months of Kindle Unlimited. It offers everything you'd expect from a Kindle – but in colour. That means a sharp, high-contrast display for reading books, comics, and graphic novels, fast page turns, adjustable warm light, and battery life that lasts for weeks. It even lets you highlight text in multiple colours and browse your library by colourful book covers. If you're after a few more extras, the $289.99 / £269.99 Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition adds wireless charging, 32GB of storage, and an auto-adjusting front light. We're reviewed the Kindle Colorsoft, and were impressed with the excellent battery life, lightweight design, and muted colour screen, but slightly let down by the clunky software and high price – something the new model partly addresses. But the big news here is the new Kindle Colorsoft Kids. Priced at $269.99 in the US and £259.99 in the UK, it's the first Kindle for kids with a colour display, designed to make comics and graphic novels more engaging. Amazon says kids who read these kinds of books spend 46-percent more time reading on average than Kindle Kids users overall. The child-friendly model comes with a bright illustrated cover (in your choice of 'Fantasy River' or 'Starlight Reading'), a year's subscription to Amazon Kids+, and a two-year worry-free guarantee. That means if it breaks, Amazon will replace it. No questions asked. There are no ads, apps, games or messages on the device, just books. Kids can read Harry Potter, Big Nate, or The Treehouse series without distractions, and use tools like Vocabulary Builder, Word Wise, and OpenDyslexic font to help them along the way. Bluetooth is also built in for audiobook listening with headphones. Parents aren't left out either. The Amazon Parent Dashboard gives you full control over what your child sees, lets you monitor reading progress, and even set a bedtime for the device. As part of the package, Amazon Kids+ continues to expand. The service now includes thousands of books and audiobooks from series like Keeper of the Lost Cities, The Breakfast Club Adventures by Marcus Rashford, and The InvestiGators. Amazon says Kindle reading is up this year, with customers having read more than 129 billion pages so far – more than this time last year. So, if you've been holding off on buying a Kindle Colorsoft, now's a good time, and if $269.99 in the US and £259.99 in the UK still feels steep, it's worth waiting for Black Friday, when prices could drop closer to $220 / £200. Liked this? The Google Pixel 10 leak looks exactly the same as the Pixel 9, and I think that's great

I've used a lot of Kindle e-readers—Here's why the Colorsoft is worth the Prime Day splurge
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. As an avid reader (and e-reader tester!), I never leave home without an e-reader, and lately, I've been throwing one Kindle model in my bag more often than any of the others in my rotation. My current e-reader of choice, the Kindle Colorsoft, is $280. You might be thinking, That's still pretty expensive, right? But let me convince you that the Kindle Colorsoft is 100% worth the splurge, especially when it's $100 off. Advertisement The Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition is essentially a Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, just in color (which might be underplaying it a bit — the color screen is genuinely a game changer). It has the same matte, anti-glare screen, wireless charging capabilities, weeks of battery life, and brightness settings. Here are two examples of ways color enhances my reading experience. Angela Tricarico In the image above, you'll see two of the ways having a Kindle with a color screen has completely enhanced the experience of using an e-reader. I read a lot of nonfiction about film, and I've found being able to highlight text in multiple (up to four) colors has been so helpful when sorting through them later; I highlight text passages and meaningful quotes in one color, and use another to mark any movie title mentioned in a book so I can go back and make a more cohesive list when I've finished the book. But here's the real draw: comics! The panel on the right may look small, considering the screen itself isn't as big as, say, as a tablet like an iPad, but double-tapping on any panel will activate a zoom mode that lets you read the individual panels with more detail. As a Comixology Unlimited subscriber, this is a game-changer. I don't have to travel with my iPad or worry about killing my phone battery if I want to read comics. Convinced yet? This all-time-low deal is only available for one more day, aka until Prime Day ends at 11:59 p.m. PST on July 11. Amazon The Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition has a 7-inch screen with 300 ppi resolution in black and white and 150 ppi resolution in color. The matte, anti-glare screen is perfect for reading in any environment, enhanced by the auto-adjusting front light that changes the screen brightness based on your surroundings.
