Amazon’s Great Spring Sale early deals aren’t all about headphones and smart home gadgets — here’s something bookworms too. Amazon has slashed the Kindle Colorsoft 16GB to just $169.99 ahead of the event, matching the lowest price we saw during last year’s Black Friday frenzy.
It’s a more affordable version of Amazon’s color Kindle launched last year As a cheaper alternative to the Signature Edition. It ditches a few extras like wireless charging and halves the storage, but otherwise you get the same experience – a 7-inch Colorsoft display, adjustable warm light and a waterproof design.
The color screen is a clear improvement over the classic Kindle. The device is still primarily an e-reader, but the added color makes a difference for things like book covers, comics, and highlighting text in different shades. For most standard novels, the experience isn’t drastically different, but it adds a bit more flexibility depending on what you’re reading.
You also get the usual Kindle benefits, including access to millions of titles in the Kindle Store, support for Kindle Unlimited, and battery life that can last up to eight weeks on a single charge. Like other new Kindles, it charges via USB-C and is designed to be easy on the eyes, whether you’re reading in bright sunlight or at night.
If you like the idea of Colorsoft but don’t want to pay the $250 retail price, this is your chance to save. Click on the widget above to find the deal.
