Early Prime Day Deal Slashes $151 Off Amazon’s New Color Kindle

It’s time to ditch those paper books and upgrade to one of the best e-readers money can buy. The Kindle Colorsoft is the first color Kindle, and it’s a great way to read books and comics alike. And as part of Amazon’s early Prime Day extravaganza, the retailer is selling the Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition with a wireless charger and a case for just $212 — a huge $151 discount and considerably less than you’d normally pay for the Kindle alone.

You don’t need to enter any discount codes or clip any coupons to enjoy this deal, but you do need to be an Amazon Prime member to save. You can also trade in an old device, and you’ll save an additional 20%.

The Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition comes with a large 7-inch color display and 32GB of storage, perfect for holding all of your reading material. Despite that new color screen, you’ll get up to eight weeks of use between charges.

When it does come time to charge, the included wireless charger makes it a cinch. All you have to do is place the Kindle Colorsoft on the dock, and it’ll do its thing.

This bundle also comes with a plant-based leather case included, with a couple of colors available for you to choose from. The case protects the Kindle Colorsoft when not in use and adds a little extra bulk to make it easier to hold when it is, too.

Naturally, the Kindle Colorsoft is waterproof, so you can use it in the bath, and the auto-adjusting front light means you can always read no matter what the surrounding light is doing.

Why this deal matters

Reading is a great way to relax, and this is your chance to make the experience even more pleasurable at a discount. This is the latest iteration in a long line of Kindle devices, and it’s better than ever. It’s perfect for reading comics as well as books, yet it still has a massive battery life. Throw in the accessories, and this is a deal that’s going to be hard to beat.
