What reviewers say

Reviewers praised the Kindle Colorsoft for quick load times, responsive page turns, pinch-to-zoom, and the lack of an extra charge to remove lock-screen ads. Some noticed slightly lower sharpness/contrast for black-and-white text compared with higher-end models.

Verdict

If a color e-reader is of interest — for comics, magazines, or color-friendly ebooks — the Kindle Colorsoft is a solid choice, especially at the current $220 price.
