Amazon Slashes Price On Its Kindle Colorsoft Just In Time For Father's Day
Kindle Colorsoft.
The thing about the Kindle Colorsoft is that it has been highly praised, but many commenters said that there was just one problem: the price. If that was the barrier for you to upgrading, the current offer may tempt you.
Available at the U.K. Amazon site, it's currently the only one of the latest Kindle range to see a price cut. And it's a sizeable one: £50 ($67.30) off means the price tumbles from £269.99 ($363) to £219.99 ($296.12). Here's the link.
The deals highlighted in this post were independently selected by the Contributor and do not contain affiliate links.
The Colorsoft has a lot in common with the Kindle Paperwhite: both have the fastest page turns ever on Kindle, and seven-inch screens (the basic Kindle, for comparison, has a six-inch display), have flush-front designs and are waterproof so you can read in the bath without panicking.
The Colorsoft is only available in what's called a Signature Edition, which has 32GB storage. The Paperwhite also comes in a Signature Edition and it matches this 32GB storage. Both Signature Editions have auto-adjusting front light sensors, while the regular Paperwhite needs you to adjust the brightness yourself.
Oh, and both Signature Editions are wireless-chargeable.
Of course, the other big difference is that the Colorsoft has a color display, with subtle, pastel colors bringing cookery books, travel guides and graphic novels to life.
The thing is, the price cut has now brought the price of the Colorsoft much closer to the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition's cost of £189.99 ($256). So, if you were thinking of moving up to the Paperwhite Signature Edition, an extra £30 ($40) gains you color as well. What's more, if you have an old Kindle that works, you can trade it in to save more money, up to 20% extra.

Virgin Media down: Network app not working in major outage
A technical issue appears to be stopping Virgin Media customers from watching Sky Sports as usual. On Monday morning, Virgin Media customers complained that their login details did not appear to be working on the app, which allows users to watch live sport. Some reported seeing an error message suggesting that the 'systems are currently down for maintenance'. It came amid a busy time for sports coverage, including the busy and exciting final day of England's test match against India. Multiple reports suggested that Virgin Media's Internet connections had broken. But the problem appeared more specific, affecting only the Sky Sports app. Watching Sky Sports through a TV connection also seems to be working as normal. But the problem came in the middle of a weekday, when many users may be attempting to tune in to the cricket remotely through their phones or laptops. 'Biggest cricket day of the year and I can't access Sky Cricket,' wrote one affected customer on X, formerly known as Twitter.
