Faster, easier to use and in COLOR! Battery life is also much better and combined with the Wireless Charger (separate purchase), it is a great combo!!!

Amazon Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition (2024) Review The Good The 2024 Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition represents a significant step forward in e-reader technology. The color e-ink display is surprisingly vibrant while maintaining excellent readability in various lighting conditions. Text appears crisp and clear, with color illustrations and magazine layouts looking far more natural than on previous monochrome Kindles. Battery life remains impressive at roughly 3 weeks of regular use, even with the color display. The 32GB storage capacity is ample for a substantial digital library including graphic novels and magazines that benefit from the color screen. The metallic black finish gives this device a premium feel, and the flush-front design with page-turn buttons provides convenient one-handed reading. The adjustable warm light is perfect for night reading without disrupting sleep.

Absolutely love it! Colors are very vibrant. Exactly what I wanted. Despite all the negative reviews I really haven’t found any bad issues. The yellow line issue is being worked on by Amazon (supposedly a software problem). In my few days of using it the yellow line has gone away for me. It’s wonderful for Amazon’s first color e-reader. If you’re particular about those things it may not be for you. But it’s definitely FOR ME!

I’ve had a Kindle tablet for ages and switching to a pure e-reader has been awesome. The size and screen make it so much easier to take with me outside of my bedroom, no longer do I feel like i have to read near the bed to get a good light ratio or worry about processing slowdown or weight or glare. It’s a light device that makes reading in the sun or your room or the car way easier and on the largest book selling service around. Easy recommend

I’ll admit, I was hesitant to buy the Kindle Colorsoft. The price gave me pause, and I’d read plenty of complaints about yellowing at the bottom of the screen—enough to make me second-guess the purchase. Even after Amazon claimed to have fixed the issue, recent posts on the Kindle subreddit suggested otherwise. Some buyers were still receiving units with that annoying yellow tint. To see for myself, I headed to my local Best Buy. The display model looked absolutely gorgeous—vivid colors, sharp text, and, most importantly, no sign of that dreaded yellowing. After seeing it in person, I decided to take the plunge and bought it right there at Best Buy. Once I got it home, I was immediately impressed.  Not only was there no trace of yellowing, but the reading experience was even better than I’d hoped. I didn’t expect to enjoy it so much for my regular (non-color) books, but the sharpness and clarity of the display make everything a pleasure to read. Seeing book covers in full color is a surprisingly delightful upgrade—it adds a new dimension to my library. If I have one gripe, it’s storage. I noticed that some books take up more space on the Colorsoft than they did on my older Kindle Oasis, presumably because the color images are stored at higher quality. Both devices have 32GB of storage, but my Oasis holds over 8,400 items, while my Colorsoft can only manage about 3,600 with the same amount of free space left. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it does mean I have to be a bit more selective about what I keep on the device. All things considered, I absolutely love my Kindle Colorsoft. In hindsight, I’m glad I waited to buy it—no yellowing issues at all! If you’re on the fence like I was, I’d say go for it. It’s a fantastic upgrade, and I only wish I’d made the leap sooner (but not too soon!).

First kindle since the 2nd generation. Talk about improvement! Love the color screen. Fits in my bag with no issues . Great battery life . Reading manga on it is little weird. Do feel it’s little over price .

My wife loves her new kindle the battery life is amazing and reading a magazine or manga on here is so nice.

The Amazon Kindle is hands down one of the best investments I've ever made! As an avid reader, I love having access to thousands of books in a lightweight, compact device that I can take anywhere. The glare-free screen makes it easy to read in bright sunlight, and the adjustable lighting ensures comfortable reading at night. The battery life is phenomenal—lasting weeks on a single charge! Plus, features like highlighting, dictionary lookup, and seamless integration with Amazon’s vast eBook library make reading even more enjoyable. Whether you're a casual reader or a bookworm, the Kindle is a must-have. Highly recommend!

I love my kindle, it is easy to use and fits in my purse. It can go any where and holds a charge. Can carry it all over my house,

Light in the hand and light on the eyes. But this gadget has jumpstarted my reading habit once again. Color is muted as compared to what you see in an iPad, but an iPad weighs and hurts more when it falls on your face. And I’d rather buy books in this than carry the book around. Make sure to buy the protective case!

I don't know what kind of magic they do in Seattle, but Amazon has knocked it out of the park with the Colorsoft. I got this as an Anniversary gift for my partner as they're very much a reader, and while they love comics and graphic novels, they'd get frustrated at the lack of color on their Paperwhite, and didn't enjoy using their phone in bed due to the backlight being blinding. I thought I'd found a solution with one of the many color eink displays offered by Boox, and while the device is very much a great attempt, there are still issues with refresh and ghosting when using color. This device has none of that. Amazon has perfected how they use a similar (if not the same) eInk display panel and the software really shows. The lighting is much more intense, with better wave guides, leading to fuller colors. There's also basically no ghosting. Amazon's use of selective and full refresh makes color content feel very natural, and enjoyable to read, even if its at half the resolution as monochrome text. The accents of color in the UI in the form of book covers and in book hyperlinks is also a nice addition. I'd still consider this very much a first gen device though. Color eInk still isn't perfect, and the most glaring example of that is lack of sharpness and saturation. This is the best execution I've see of a Kaledio screen, where a color filter sits on top of a conventional monochrome eink display, but it still suffers from muted colors, and a reduced resolution for color content. That's not a fault of Amazon, but where the technology is, especially to keep such a complete package at such a great price. In a nutshell, this is effectively a paperwhite with color, it feels the same, looks the same, and works the same. Its very much an exciting direction for the Kindle line, and I can't wait to see where it goes form here.

I was skeptical about getting this due to mixed reviews, but I love it. The color looks awesome! The battery lasts a long time too.

Literally one of the best purchases I have made for myself. For someone who recently made reading a personal habit, I have been flying through books on this thing! I love the colors of the books and the back light options are great on my eye. The value is honestly in the kindle subscription as well as linking your library card, it certainly off set the costs I was spending at my local bookstores on hard copies! I read 10 of my books on my “to read” list in less than a month.. which would have easily been $200+ in hardcopies. My only note is regarding battery life.. I saw reviews saying 3-4 weeks of battery life. That must not be regular readers, I tend to read nightly 2-3 hrs, 3-4 times a week… my battery has been lasting me 10-14 days at max and 14 is being nice lol still don’t regret the purchase!

This is a very nice looking and light weight reader. It is extremely fast and has no hesitation as you go page to page. The colors are excellent and brings more satisfaction to my reading. This is a definite improvement over previous Kindle's. I would definitely buy this Kindle again and highly recomend it.

I just bought one for me and one for my mom. It’s great! Very easy to use great for traveling out even to go to doctors appointments. Slim and sleek design makes it easy to carry. Highly recommend

I have had this kindle for two months. I have charged it once. Idk why I didn’t buy one sooner. I literally carry it with me everywhere.

Easiest device ive used. Screen is so clear and never dissapoints.

I love this thing I have read SO Many books with this thing. It makes it easy and convenient to carry around more than one book.

as someone who previously owned the paperwhite, I am glad I upgraded. If you are a fan of comic reads or annotating as you read with highlights, the pop of color makes it so much more interesting to look at. has the same capabilities that the paperwhite has, although if you are looking for something more simple for light reading wouldn't recommend this product over the paperwhite. LOVE this product and use it daily.

I surprised my wife with the new ColorSoft Kindle, and it was a total win. She’s a big reader and has been using the Paperwhite for years, but the upgrade was worth it, especially with the addition of color. She loves how easy it is on the eyes, and the colored book covers and illustrations bring her reading to life in a new way. It’s lightweight, super responsive, and the battery life still holds up great. She also mentioned the warmer tone lighting is more comfortable for night reading. Overall, this Kindle made her reading experience even better, and seeing how much she enjoys it makes it a 10/10 gift in my book. If you’re shopping for someone who loves to read, this is a thoughtful, tech-savvy upgrade that doesn’t disappoint.
