  • Our take on the Amazon Kindle Colorsoft 16 GB 7"

    The Kindle Colorsoft is Amazon's color e-reader, with a 7-inch color display and 16 GB of storage. It suits readers who want color book covers, comics, magazines and highlighted text without moving to a tablet. Against the monochrome Kindle Paperwhite it adds color at a higher price and slightly softer text contrast; against color tablets it stays easy on the eyes and lasts weeks per charge. Reviewers like the color for comics and covers but note the color layer dulls black text compared with a plain Kindle.

    Questions and answers

    Is the Colorsoft worth it over a Kindle Paperwhite?
    Only if you read comics, magazines or want color covers and highlights. For plain text, the Paperwhite has sharper black text and costs less.
    Can I read comics in color on it?
    Yes. Comic and graphic novel pages show in color, though the palette is softer than on a tablet.
    How is the battery life?
    Owners report weeks of reading per charge. Heavy color use drains it faster than plain text.
    Does it work with Kindle Unlimited and library loans?
    Yes. It uses the Kindle Store, Kindle Unlimited and Libby library loans like other Kindles.
    Is 16 GB enough?
    Yes for most readers. It holds thousands of books, and comics take more space but still fit comfortably.
    Is it waterproof?
    No. Unlike the Paperwhite, the Colorsoft is not rated for water resistance, so keep it away from baths and pools.
    Where is the Amazon Kindle Colorsoft 16 GB 7" cheapest?
    At Best Buy, for $289.99, as of our latest check.
