Amazon has unveiled two new e-readers featuring color displays, providing a refreshing change from the traditional black and white e-ink screens. These new devices, alongside the existing Colorsoft Signature Edition Kindle, offer vibrant screens to enhance the reading experience.
The first model in the updated lineup, named Kindle Colorsoft, boasts 16GB of storage, fast page turns, an adjustable warm light, long-lasting battery life lasting weeks, and complete access to the Kindle bookstore. While not as feature-rich as the Signature Edition, which includes additional storage, auto light adjustments, and wireless charging, the Colorsoft version is priced more affordably at £239.99 compared to £269.99 for the Signature model.
Customers purchasing the latest Kindle can benefit from a 20% trade-in discount, as well as three months of free Kindle Unlimited subscription. Additionally, Amazon has introduced the Amazon Kindle Colorsoft Kids, priced at £259, which includes 12 months of Amazon Kids+ subscription, a child-friendly cover, and a 2-year worry-free guarantee.
Amazon Kids+ is a subscription service offering thousands of books and audiobooks for young readers, typically priced at £4.99 per month but included for free with the Kindle Colorsoft Kids. This kid-friendly e-reader also features a colorful display, water-resistant design, and a built-in light for nighttime reading.
The introduction of color displays aims to engage young readers and encourage longer reading sessions. Both the Kindle Colorsoft and the Kindle Colorsoft Kids are now available for purchase on Amazon and through various retailers in the UK.
