Amazon has unveiled two new e-readers with color displays, offering a refreshing change from the traditional black and white e-ink screens. These new devices, along with the existing Colorsoft Signature Edition Kindle, bring vibrant screens to the forefront.
The first addition, the Kindle Colorsoft, features 16GB of storage, quick page turns, adjustable warm light, long-lasting battery life, and full access to the Kindle bookstore. While it lacks some advanced features of the Signature Edition like extra storage and wireless charging, it comes at a more affordable price point.
Priced at £239.99, the standard Colorsoft Kindle is a budget-friendly alternative to the Signature Edition priced at £269.99. Customers can enjoy a 20% discount by trading in their old devices and receive three months of free access to Kindle Unlimited with a purchase.
In addition, Amazon is introducing the Amazon Kindle Colorsoft Kids, priced at £259, which includes 12 months of Amazon Kids+, a child-friendly cover, and a 2-year worry-free guarantee. Subscribers to Amazon Kids+ usually pay £4.99 per month but get complimentary access with this Kindle purchase.
The Colorsoft Kids model boasts a colorful display, water-resistant design, and built-in light for nighttime reading, aiming to encourage young readers to engage with books for longer periods. Amazon’s strategy is to enhance children’s reading experiences by incorporating color features.
Both Kindle models are now available for purchase on Amazon and through various retailers in the UK.
