Q: Can kindle have urdu novels or books to read..

A: Yes! Kindle e-readers can display books in Urdu and other right-to-left languages (like Arabic). They support the fonts and characters needed to read these languages, as long as the file is in a supported format. Availability of Urdu titles in the official Kindle Store may vary, but you can also sideload your own ebooks or PDFs in Urdu onto the device

Q: How heavy is it to hold while reading?

A: Kindle e-readers like this one are designed to be light and comfortable to hold for long reading sessions. For example, a similar Paperwhite model weighs around 211 g, which most users describe as easy to hold with one hand

Q: Hello - approximately how many books can 16gb hold on this device? Thanks

A: Kindle e-readers like this one are designed to be light and comfortable to hold for long reading sessions. For example, a similar Paperwhite model weighs around 211 g, which most users describe as easy to hold with one hand

Q: Can this handle apps? I am looking to replace a kindle fire 10.

A: Hi there, No — the Kindle Colorsoft is an e-reader, not a tablet. It doesn’t run apps like a Fire HD 10. If you’re replacing a Fire 10, you’ll want another Fire tablet instead. Hope this helps!

Q: Is this the updated Kindle Colorsoft that doesn’t come the yellow band defect?

A: Yes, recently purchased and it didn't have the yellow band under.

Q: Can we build it?

A: Yes we can

    the gift that every reader wants

    The Amazon Kindle Colorsoft is absolutely fantastic. Its vibrant color screen makes reading anything, from comics to textbooks, much more enjoyable than with traditional e-ink. The device is lightweight and comfortable to hold, ideal for long reading sessions. The battery life is excellent, lasting several days between charges. Setup was quick and easy, and overall performance is smooth and responsive. This Kindle is worth every penny.

    Colorsoft battery life & defect

    The color trade off is so worth it in an e-reader. Setup was easy, all I had to do was connect to WiFi and sign in, my books were immediately ready for download. The quality is superb when it came to reading during the day, and using the warm light and dark mode at night to take the stress off my eyes. As an avid reader and dedicated user of the kindle, my only complaint is the battery life. I did have to return/exchange the first colorsoft because of a defect, there was a huge line on the screen, similar to crosshairs within a day of testing (inserted image exhibits). It didn’t start that way but a few hours of reading I noticed it wouldn’t go away so, I ended up getting another after dealing with a little bit of incompetence at the store, which was expected because it’s holiday season but I digress. the attendants were not very helpful asking to see a receipt before they even confirmed if they had a replacement on hand and after speaking with the manager a couple of times it turns out they didn’t have a replacement and didn’t need a receipt to confirm that, but the manager stepped in and ordered one at a sister location where I was able to pick up within the hour. With the new kindle, I find myself having to charge the colorsoft after a couple days of use, which doesn’t necessarily bother me because I’m mostly at home but I notice just simply scrolling through the store or switching through titles a few times will affect the battery by about 10-15% compared to the Kindle basic or the Kindle Paperwhite; and then reading, of course, takes up a majority of the battery life on top of that. I’m hoping there is an update that tends to battery life in the near future. Overall pretty good product. I’m happy to see my book covers in color, it brings my library to life, and comics are more fun to read. With over 200 books in my digital library it’s so much easier to just browse and manage them on the kindle and that’s my favorite part. The price was worth it being that it was purchased during the $80 off sale (I paid $164), however for over $200 I’d think twice about buying it at its regular price because it seems a little steep for just the color trade off and sub-par battery life.

    Small and functional

    Very simple for an ereader, I love it! Colors are dull but it doesn't bother me. Battery lasts a long time.
