Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

It has been working great for me ! Battery lasts a while and colors look good!

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

I absolutely love it. I had the paper white and upgraded to the color soft and truly I don’t understand what anyone complains about because this display is great and it’s crisp and I just absolutely love it. Bring it everywhere with me. I definitely also recommend getting the protection on it just because like I said if you’re like me, I throw it in my bag and I take it everywhere with me, but 100% recommend this

[Employee of bestbuy] This is a great device. You can adjust the brightness and warmth of the screen which is very nice. Battery life is great. If you are debating between this one and the black and white one, you would probably be fine with just the black and white kindle unless you read comics and such.

i absolutely love this device! the battery life is amazing and the display is gorgeous!

Very happy with our purchase - easily switch between my Kindle library & my son’s library with Amazon kids. He is loving to read with color.

I was initially worried about the Amazon ecosystem because I don't have any Amazon devices but the send to Kindle functionality is easy to use and makes migrating an existing ePub library painless.

I didn't thought i was needing this but is perfect for a casual reader! Ive been reading a lot more now love it!

I absolutely love it, and use it daily! I am gonna gift one to my grandmother for Christmas

I love it!!!! Best investment ever!! I can pretty much read anywhere

Great product, I’m glad I purchased! Being able to read manga in color along with everything else was a nice touch

It's easy on the eyes when reading for a long period of time.

I bought this Kindle on Black Friday so it was a great deal. It’s easy to use but since this is my first Kindle I don’t know how it compares to the other versions. This one is a bit slow but overall I like it.

I have fallen in love with this kindle. It is my first colorsoft edition. I’ve always used the fire kindle. This is a great addition to my collection. This kindle is the perfect size. The backlight is perfect. I even love the voice narrator (I know most people don’t like a monotone voice)! I’m so glad that I made the decision to get this one. It’s easy to connect to my Bluetooth headphones and listen to my books. It also allows audible books to play. The annotation feature is so easy to use. I think I will have less of a chance to break this device. I did get it while on sale for $169, such a great deal! I don’t think I would pay $250 for one. That’s a steep price. I find it very easy to get my books downloaded to my kindle also.

I love my Kindle colorsoft! It’s the perfect size, I love the black and the screen quality is really good. Battery life is great (though not as good as the paperwhite but still lasts many weeks). The software is also faster compared to previous gen (11th gen) paperwhite.

The Kindle Colorsoft 16 GB is a game-changer for reading enthusiasts. With its vibrant color display, it brings books to life in a way that traditional e-readers simply can't match. The adjustable warm light feature adds an extra layer of comfort, allowing for enjoyable reading sessions without straining your eyes, whether during the day or at night. The 16 GB storage capacity is ample for housing thousands of books, ensuring you’ll never run out of reading material. The interface is user-friendly, making it easy to navigate through titles and access your library quickly. Plus, the sleek black design gives it a modern and stylish look that fits perfectly in any setting. Battery life is impressive, lasting weeks on a single charge, which is perfect for on-the-go readers. The Kindle Colorsoft also supports various formats, including comics and magazines, enhancing the versatility of your reading experience. Overall, I highly recommend the Kindle Colorsoft for anyone looking to elevate their reading experience. It's a fantastic investment for avid readers, offering both functionality and style.

Kindle good quality! I love that it is colored. You can change the fonts and have a book cover as your idle page. The battery life is astounding. I havent charged it 2 months it is barely at 78%. It also has a light if you want to read in the dark good thing it is not so bright it blinds you. Would recommend to everyone best putchase made.

This kindle has a great screen and is lightning fast. I upgraded from the first Kindle Paperwhite edition. It stays charged for weeks
