Amazon Kindle Colorsoft review: a magical and colorful e-reader | Digital Trends

The brilliant Kindle now has a color screen, but does this make the Kindle Colorsoft the model to buy? I've got the answer in my review.

Color screen ; Long battery life ; Water-resistant shell ; Wonderful reading experience ; Easy software

Slow performance when reading color sources ; Awkward power button location ; No dark mode

“The Amazon Kindle Colorsoft's color screen opens up new reading opportunities and adds visual pizzazz to an already superb e-reader.”

Amazon Kindle Colorsoft review: the little e-reader that compromised

With few changes beyond the colour display, you can't help but compare the Amazon Kindle Colorsoft to a tablet's popping hues

Still light to hold and easily portable ; Colours mimic printed magazines, while text stays very sharp ; Battery life is excellent

Colour images aren’t as sharp, muted compared to a tablet ; Software retains some limitations ; Price feels like an unwarranted jump

I’m pleased a colour Kindle is finally here, but the high price and few extra features hold the Colorsoft back – especially compared to a tablet’s popping hues.
