The best Kindle Colorsoft sales happen on Black Friday

Color e-reader It’s fun. Your digital bookshelf on a device like the Kindle Colorsoft becomes almost as colorful as the devices at home, and browsing a sea of ​​new titles on the side of the store becomes much more attractive than a sea of ​​black and white. It’s a great buy if you read any books that may have illustrations on the pages, or if you like popping colors.

Amazon finally came out in color kindle Starting last year, but with the price approaching $300, we weren’t as impressed as we should have been. But now, during Black Friday, you can get the colorful ones Kindle Colorsoft For almost as cheap Black and white Kindle Paperwhite. While there Lots of Kindle deals you can shop nowThis is easily the biggest thing not to miss.

There are two versions of Colorsoft: The base model released this summerand Signature form Which came out last year. Both are on sale now. They both also performed well in our tests (although it was the Signature that had issues with yellow bars appearing at the bottom of the devices last year) and are mostly similar, but have some key differences. The Signature Edition has a warm light that you can adjust automatically, while the basic Colorsoft has a warm light that you can adjust manually. You’ll also get twice the storage space on the Signature, with 32GB over 16GB, and the Signature can charge wirelessly.

Other than these three features, they both have the same 7-inch screen and a resolution of 300 pixels per inch (or ppi) for black and white content and 150 ppi for color. They are both waterproof as well. My only complaint is that Dark Mode no longer turns menu pages dark, and it doesn’t work on downloaded content like AZW3 documents (a special eBook style formatted specifically for Kindles).

Overall, it is Great e-readerexpensive, especially since you don’t get things like page-turn buttons or the ability to double as a digital notebook like you can with Kobo color e-readers. If you’re a Kindle fan, now is the best time to buy.
