Just after seeing a brand new all-time low land on the latest Kindle Scribe as part of Amazon’s Prime Day deals, we also spotted the best price we have tracked to date on its very first color model, the Kindle Colorsoft. Prime members can score the Amazon Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition Essentials Bundle for $211.97 shipped, down $117 from the regular price of buying this bundle and now even lower than buying the Colorsoft on its own. Details below.
This bundle includes Amazon’s plant-based leather cover and a wireless charging dock for less than the Kindle without all of that:
Just to put how notable this all-time low is into perspective, you’re scoring the bundle here today with the add-on case and charging dock for less than the lowest price we have tracked on the Colorsoft reader without them – it has never sold for less than $225.
The Kindle Colorsoft – Amazon’s very first Kindle reader with a color display – released back in the fall alongside the Scribe we featured this morning. It then saw its first price drop ever back in January 2025, followed by a couple drops to $225, but nothing as good as we have here today and never with an included case/dock.
Everything you need to know about the new Kindle model is waiting our launch coverage right here, but some of the highlights here include the usual Kindle reader experience elevated with color imagery and the ability to browse through your library of titles with full color covers – you can even “add color highlights that you can easily search later.”
You’ll also find an enhanced oxide backplane-equipped 7-inch display and some additional quality of life enhancements: “high contrast, fast page turns, an auto-adjusting front light, and weeks of battery life.”
Kindle Colorsoft features:
- Read in color – The new 7″ Colorsoft display is high-contrast and easy on the eyes, with paper-like color that brings covers and content to life.
- Color your pages – Highlight your favorite scenes in yellow, orange, blue, and pink.
- Marathon reading – A single charge via USB-C lasts up to 8 weeks, or power up with the wireless charging dock (sold separately).
- Adapts to your surroundings – The glare-free display and auto-adjusting front light let you read in the brightest sunlight or late into the night.
- Waterproof and worry-free – Take your stories by the pool, in the bath, or anywhere in between.
- Massive selection – Instantly access over 15 million titles in the Kindle Store worldwide, and add a Kindle Unlimited subscription for all-you-can read access to a catalog including best sellers.
- A brand-new experience – The Kindle Colorsoft display is optimized for reading in color and is different from the Kindle Paperwhite display, which is optimized for black and white reading.
