Amazon has lastly put the Kindle Colorsoft on sale for the primary time because it was launched final October—it’s the final new Kindle to go on sale—but it surely’s a type of offers that’s solely for Amazon Prime members.
When you have an lively Prime membership you may get the Kindle Colorsoft for $229 proper now as an alternative of the standard value of $279. Plus you’ll be able to a further 20% off you probably have one thing to trade-in.
Even with out a trade-in, with the ability to get $50 off is a fairly whole lot, particularly contemplating that Amazon is promoting used Colorsofts with beauty imperfections for greater than $229.
Nonetheless, at this level, it’s nonetheless unlcear if Amazon has actually fastened the frontlight problem on the Colorsoft or not. As if colour E Ink isn’t polarizing sufficient (folks both appear to adore it or hate it), Amazon has added one other layer to the equation within the type of frontlight banding— some individuals are actually bothered by it and different folks don’t care or don’t see it.
Exterior of that, I feel the Colorsoft is likely one of the finest colour E Ink gadgets in the marketplace. For some cause the colour simply seems to be higher than comparable fashions, and ghosting is far much less of a problem than it’s on Onyx’s gadgets. Amazon additionally affords much more colour content material than another shops like Kobo.
See my Kindle Colorsoft assessment for extra details about the machine and to see the colour E Ink display screen in motion.
One bizarre factor about this sale is it’s just for the Colorsoft when bought individually. When Amazon does Kindle gross sales they often mark down the bundle packages as effectively, however this time they didn’t so it prices virtually $100 extra simply so as to add a canopy and a charger—it’s cheaper to purchase every thing individually.
