The Kindle Colorsoft Essentials Bundle pairs Amazon's color e-reader with a fabric cover and a 9W USB-C power adapter. The Colorsoft is the first Kindle built around a color display, so book covers, comics, illustrated guides and highlighted passages show in color, with yellow, orange, blue and pink highlighter options. It is aimed at readers of comics, graphic novels and illustrated nonfiction who also want a waterproof reader with weeks of battery life. Against the Paperwhite, it trades a sharper black-and-white panel for color, so text is slightly softer and the screen is the main thing to weigh.

Owners treat the Colorsoft as the Kindle to get for comics and color covers, and most like the soft, paper-like color. The common complaint is that black text looks less sharp than on the Paperwhite, and some find the color muted.
This bundle includes a Kindle Colorsoft e-reader with 16 GB of storage, a fabric cover and a 9W power adapter. The Kindle Colorsoft display is optimized for reading in color. This differs from the Kindle Paperwhite display, which is optimized for black and white reading.
You can highlight passages in yellow, orange, blue or pink. The Page Color feature inverts the black text and white background of book pages while still showing colorful images and covers. It is different from Dark Mode. The display adjusts from white to amber for reading in bright sunlight or in the dark.
A single charge via USB-C lasts up to 8 weeks. The Kindle is waterproof. The Kindle Store has over 15 million titles worldwide, and a Kindle Unlimited subscription can be added. The cover opens and closes like a book to wake the Kindle or put it to sleep. It folds back for one-handed reading.
