Prime Day is usually a good opportunity to snag deals on Amazon’s own product lines, and this event is no exception. Amazon is currently offering some noteworthy discounts on its collection of ereaders. The standout is the Kindle Colorsoft, which is on sale for $200. That’s a $50 savings on the 16GB model and a record low price for this product.
The cost was one of the only real detractions we found in our review of Amazon’s long-awaited color screen ereader, which has a bunch of nice features. The warm light of the screen is adjustable so that you can read easily in different lighting conditions, and there are no ads on the lock screen. If you’re reading a lot of comics or manga, you’ll likely appreciate both the color screen and the Colorsoft’s pinch-to-zoom feature. Amazon says the Colorsoft can last up to eight weeks on a single battery charge, and it’s waterproof in case you want to bring it to the beach or the pool (or if you just don’t want to risk ruining it if you knock over your water bottle).
Colorsoft isn’t the only Amazon ereader that’s on sale for Prime Day. The standard Kindle model is currently available for $85, down from its usual $110 cost. You can also pick up a Kindle Paperwhite for $125, discounted from $160. Both of these options made our ranking of the best ereaders, with the Kindle winning our recommendation for an entry-level option and the Kindle Paperwhite impressing us as the best premium pick.
