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.”

In the world of color e-readers, the Kindle Colorsoft is a top competitor thanks to its customizable color display, fast performance in downloading books and page-turning, and wireless charging. The color display isn't pixelated like some other color...

I tested two of the new 2024 Kindles, and this is the one you absolutely should buy

I've used several Paperwhite models and even the standard 2024 Kindle, but the 2024 Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is the best. Here's our review!

Great battery life ; Read in any light ; Best user experience yet on a Kindle ; Bigger battery

More expensive this year (but worth it)

Apple should just bite the bullet and make its own Kindle-like e-reader

It would give two of Apple's services a lot more raison d'etre.

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.

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (2024) review: Page turner

Slender design ; Excellent display ; Slick eBook ecosystem ; Waterproof design

More expensive than predecessor ; No auto-adjusting backlight ; No Audible support in Australia (without workarounds)

Slightly improved in so many ways, the 2024 Amazon Kindle Paperwhite remains the sweet spot of Amazon's eBook reader line up.
