Amazon's best Kindles are cheaper than ever during Prime Day
Summer travel season is in full swing, and whether you're headed to the beach, a weekend getaway, or just staying home in the A/C, here are some good Prime Day deals for readers. The latest Kindle Paperwhite and the Kindle Colorsoft Signature Essential let you carry an entire library without the bulk, and right now, Prime members can buy the 16GB Paperwhite with ads for just $124.99 ($35 off) at Amazon for Prime Day. The ad-free Kindle Colorsoft Signature Essential, which is nearly identical to the Paperwhite but includes a color display, wireless charging, and 32GB of storage, is currently available for $179.99 ($100 off) at Amazon. Both mark new lows and are the best prices we've seen since Black Friday 2024. If you own a lot of Kindle books, these are the best e-readers on the market. Each weighs a bit less than the iPhone 16 Pro Max and they sport 7-inch screens that make them easy to pack yet large enough for comfortable reading. In fact, the Paperwhite's 300ppi display is the biggest and brightest of any model in the lineup to date, and the fastest too, which makes flipping through pages a breeze. The Colorsoft combines that sharp 300ppi monochrome display with a 150ppi color mode that looks vibrant compared to rivals like the Kobo Libra Colour. One feature I especially appreciate is their IPX8 waterproof rating. I don't have to worry about accidental splashes, whether I'm reading poolside or relaxing in the bathtub. I also like that both e-readers offer an adjustable warm light, which makes night reading easier on the eyes. Truthfully, the feature hasn't turned me into a morning person yet, but at least I'm well-read. Amazon's latest Paperwhite features a larger seven-inch display and noticeably faster performance. It also boasts longer battery life than the previous model, retains IPX8 waterproofing, and includes a USB-C port. Read our review. The Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition is Amazon's first e-reader with a color display. It also boasts 32GB of storage, waterproofing, and support for wireless charging. Read our review.

Amazon Celebrates Prime Day, the New Kindle Color Sees a 40% Drop to Its Lowest Price Yet
With summer holidays approaching, Kindle sales are increasing: Nobody wants to lug heavy books around on holiday, and a Kindle gives the perfect solution to avoid that. Black and white only was all Kindle readers could do for years, but now color has arrived, and the new ones are fast on the best-seller charts.

If you're used to the monochrome experience of the Paperwhite, the difference is immediately noticeable. Battery life is also among the positives of the Colorsoft Signature Edition: Eight weeks of usage from a single USB-C charge translates into hours of uninterrupted reading without having to concern oneself with running out of power. For even more ease of use, the product also supports wireless charging via a compatible dock (not included) so you can simply put it and recharge the battery.

Amazon is selling the Kindle ColorSoft for $211 and lowest price ever — and our reviewer calls it an 'absolute winner'
The best Prime Day deals are coming in fast now. With less than 24 hours to go until the sale event kicks off in earnest, the deals are only getting better. As someone who describes herself as a major bookworm (my author bio below literally says you can find me reading in my spare time before anything else), I need to get in on the Kindle hype. Sure, I love physical books, but I live in a tiny 1-bed apartment, and I am very quickly running out of space. I've already filled up two bookshelves, and I've got many more books in storage at my parents' house. So when I found this awesome Kindle Colorsoft deal for $151 off, I knew I had to share it. Even though the Colorsoft only came out last year, it's already crashed to its lowest ever price in this bundle deal. Not only do you get a Kindle, you also get a vegan leather case and a wireless charging dock for just $211. The Kindle Colorsoft bundle is currently a massive $150 off. Its MSRP is $362, and right now it's just $211. You get: a Kindle Colorsoft, a vegan leather case, and a wireless charging station. A Kindle Colorsoft by itself is $279, so you're saving $68 and getting two extra products. That's an awesome deal if you ask me. In our 4.5-star review of the Kindle Colorsoft, Computing writer Tony wrote, "As the company's first color Kindle, the Kindle Colorsoft is an absolute winner and one of the best Kindles available. Though it's certainly pricey, it's the Kindle I've always wanted." (Well, I've got news for you — with this $68 saving, the complaint that it's "certainly pricey" is irrelevant! But don't think you have to read color texts like comics or graphic novels to take full advantage of the Colorsoft's new screen. While Tony outlined that the color display is the Colorsoft's main selling point, the "monochrome performance remains strong and it's just as good for reading text looks nice and bold thanks to the Colorsoft's boosted contrast." The fun doesn't end there — Amazon also offers Kindle Unlimited for $12 a month. Kindle Unlimited is basically like an online library, and it means you can "borrow" up to 20 books simultaneously. The library contains over 5 million ebooks and audiobooks. Some Prime users can even get a 3-month trial now! I'm known for devouring books in a few days, so maybe I should just bite the bullet and save $$$ with a Kindle — at this price, it's almost unmissable. We're tracking the best savings on our Amazon Prime Day live blog. Be sure to check back for the best kitchen appliance savings, TV deals, and everything in between.

Amazon Slashes Price On Its Kindle Colorsoft Just In Time For Father's Day
Amazon refreshed its range of Kindle ebook readers last October, with an overhaul for the entire range. It included the first ever color Kindle, called the Colorsoft. That Kindle is suddenly on sale for 19% off. 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.
