After 17 years of going steady with grayscale, Amazon’s Kindle is breaking into a full palette with the brand-new Colorsoft Signature Edition. Known for bringing something exciting to e-reading with every model, Kindle’s latest release brings a splash of color, combining classic features with vibrant upgrades to give readers a whole new way to experience their books.
The Colorsoft’s 7-inch screen is designed for reading in color without the harshness of typical backlit screens. Equipped with clever custom coatings, light guides, and an oxide backplane (science meets style), this Kindle delivers sharper contrast, faster page turns, and brilliant color quality for everything from cookbooks to comics. Kindle purists, rejoice! It’s still glare-free and easy on the eyes, just with more flair.
Gone are the days of monochrome note-taking. With the Colorsoft Signature Edition, you can now highlight your notes in yellow, orange, blue, or pink, giving your annotations a personal pop. And if you need to review them later, search by color—it’s a whole new level of reading personalization.
Like the trusty Kindles before it, the Colorsoft Signature Edition comes ready for adventure. It’s waterproof (perfect for the beach or bath), features USB-C and wireless charging, and holds up to eight weeks of charge. The device’s auto-adjusting front light keeps your reading conditions right, whether in bed or basking in sunlight.
This Kindle finally shows graphic novels and travel guides in their full glory. Kindle’s first color e-reader is all about making every image, page, and highlight jump off the screen. Available for pre-order at $279.99, the Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition is set to ship on October 30. It’s the Kindle we all know and love—with just a touch more tint.
