A: Hello Rick and thank you for your question! The Kindle Colorsoft's average price point is $280 and offers a 7-inch, 300 ppi color display ideal for covers, comics, and highlights, with 32GB storage and wireless charging. It has a slightly lower contrast and an 8-week battery life. The Paperwhite costs between $150-$200 and offers crisper black-and-white text, a 12-week battery, and higher contrast, making it the better choice for dedicated novel reader. If your wife wants to read magazines, comics and material with color; the Kindle Colorsoft might be the better option. If she is strictly a "book" reader, the Kindle Paperwhite is an excellent choice. Hope this helps! Have a great day!
