First launched last yearKindle Colorsoft Signature Edition, the first e-reader with color displayAfter that, Amazon announced the launch of a more affordable16GB storage capacity version,At the same time, Kindle Colorsoft Kids, designed specifically for children, was launched to expand the color e-book market.
The Kindle Colorsoft 16GB version launched this time has a suggested retail price of US$250, which is US$30 cheaper than the Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition launched last year. Although the capacity has been halved from the original 32GB to 16GB, it is still sufficient for e-book users who mainly read text. After all, the capacity of most e-books is only about a few MB, and it can meet daily needs even if you occasionally read color comics or graphic novels.
Despite the slight price drop, Kindle Colorsoft still retains a 7-inch color E Ink display screen that can present rich visual effects, a battery life of up to 8 weeks, and warm color lighting adjustment and pinch-to-zoom function. In addition, Amazon has also corrected the yellow screen edge problem that appeared in some early models to provide a more stable reading experience.
However, compared to the higher-end Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition, the Kindle Colorsoft 16GB version launched this time cancels the automatic adjustment of the front light and wireless charging functions.
Amazon also launched the Kindle Colorsoft Kids version for the children's market, with a suggested retail price of $270, including a one-year Amazon Kids+ content subscription service and a two-year free replacement guarantee for damaged devices. The device also has pre-loaded learning functions, such as Vocabulary Builder and Word Wise, which can help children expand their vocabulary during reading. It also supports OpenDyslexic fonts and Bluetooth headset connection functions, making it easier to improve learning efficiency through audio books.
To enhance the product's appeal, the children's version of Kindle Colorsoft also offers two picture books, "Fantasy River" and "Starlight Reading", and can manage and monitor children's reading content through the Amazon Parent Dashboard, further enhancing parents' sense of security.
Kindle Colorsoft 16GB and Kindle Colorsoft Kids are now available for purchase, and both come with 3 months of Kindle Unlimited service, allowing users to enjoy a variety of books and content.
