New Kindle Colorsoft E-Reader Brings Color to Your Reading Experience
Michael Kozlowski, a renowned author who has written about audiobooks, e-books, and e-readers for the past eighteen years, has published an article on e-Reader about Amazon's latest offering – the Kindle Colorsoft e-reader.
The Kindle Colorsoft is one of Amazon's most powerful e-readers ever, boasting an enhanced shopping experience, color display for audiobooks, e-books, and manga, and a sleek design that makes it perfect for reading graphic novels, comics, and browsing book covers in color.
The new Kindle Colorsoft models come equipped with a 7-inch E Ink Kaleido 3 color e-paper display, offering a resolution of 1264×1680 and 300 PPI for black and white, and 150 PPI for color. This color e-ink display provides improved color vibrancy, richer fonts, and deeper blacks compared to previous models, leading to a slight graininess in color but still quite good for photos and illustrated content, especially outdoors.
These new e-readers offer several variants, including options with and without wireless charging and auto-adjusting front light. They also come with up to 8 weeks of battery life, manual adjustment of warm light (auto-adjust available only on the Signature Edition), and storage versions with 16GB or 32GB (the Signature Edition has 32GB, while the less expensive model has 16GB).
There is also a special variant for kids, the Kindle Colorsoft Kids, which includes a one-year Amazon Kids+ subscription and a fun kid-friendly cover. The Kindle Colorsoft Kids is priced at £259.99.
The Kindle Colorsoft is rated IPX8 and can withstand immersion in up to 2 meters of fresh water for up to 60 minutes and 0.25 meters for 3 minutes in seawater, making it an ideal companion for beach reads or bath-time stories.
Regarding pricing, the new Kindle Colorsoft models are expected to be priced around £240-270 in the UK and $250-280 in North America. However, exact Australian prices are not directly provided in the sources.
The Kindle Colorsoft models are the first color e-paper devices Amazon has ever released, marking a significant step forward in the world of e-reading. With its color e-ink technology, combined with Kindle’s traditional strengths, the Kindle Colorsoft is set to revolutionize the way we read and enjoy our favorite books, comics, and graphic novels.
