As game-changing moments go, this one is like Dorothy leaving black-and-white Kansas and landing in the technicolor wonders of Oz — the Amazon Kindle has gone color. The Kindle Colorsoft, Amazon’s most advanced digital reader yet, arrives on Oct. 30, and you can pre-order yours now for just $280 to ensure you’re among the first to experience it.
Avid Kindle fans have been waiting for years for their favorite digital reading tablet to gain a color display, and that moment is finally at hand. Digital books now burst from the Kindle screen in bold, vivid color, just like their physical counterparts. Best of all, Amazon has sacrificed none of the quality or features of their top-line readers to create the Kindle Colorsoft.
Covers, Photos, and So Much More
If there was ever a consistent shortcoming of the Kindle as a replacement for old-school hardbound and paperback books, it was the lack of color. Beautiful cover designs felt flat, and the vivid photography and illustrations of many books were rendered in bland, muted graytones. That has now all changed with the Kindle Colorsoft, with cover art and interior photos and artwork seen as they were intended.
The Kindle Colorsoft also brings new life to the Kindle’s highlighter feature, and not just in yellow. You can call out your favorite passages from your favorite books in yellow, blue, orange, and pink. The 7-inch screen is high-contrast and glare-free with auto-adjusting backlighting to reduce eye fatigue whether you’re reading in bright sunlight or pitch black.
Graphic Novels and Comics — At Last!
Graphic novels, manga, and comics have always been available among the millions of titles in the Kindle Store, but the artistry and allure of such titles was totally lost when rendered in black and white. Now these colorful works of art explode from the screen of the Kindle Colorsoft, opening up entire new genres of reading to Kindle owners.
All of the great features found in the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition are still here — 32GB of storage to bring hundreds of titles with you wherever you go, waterproofing so you can read by the pool or even in the bath, and the incredible battery life that allows you to use the Kindle Colorsoft for up to 8 weeks on a single charge via USB-C or Amazon’s wireless charging dock (sold separately). The Kindle Store’s 15 million-plus titles are all at your fingertips, except now they’re all delivered in full color. Preorder your Kindle Colorsoft now at Amazon for $280, and you’re mere days away from seeing digital books in a new, full-color way.
