The Kindle Colorsoft is Amazon's first Kindle with a color display, using a dual-layer screen that shows book covers, comics, magazines and highlighted text in color while keeping the paper-like, low-glare look of E Ink. It has a 7-inch screen with adjustable warm light, is waterproof, weighs 215 g and charges over USB-C. It suits readers of comics, illustrated books and magazines who want color without a tablet's glare, but it costs more than the monochrome Kindle Paperwhite and its color is muted and slower to refresh than an LCD or OLED tablet. Reviewers like the color covers and warm light; some find the color washed out and the page turns and interface slower than expected.

Reviewers praise the color screen for covers, comics and highlights and like the warm light and waterproof build. Many say the color is subdued and the device feels slower than the Paperwhite, and some question whether color is worth the extra cost.
