No one does e-readers quite like Kindle, and just last week, the Amazon-owned brand announced four new models: the Colorsoft, the first-ever Kindle with color display, plus reimagined versions of the Kindle Scribe, Kindle Paperwrite and entry-level Kindle. Here’s a breakdown of each.
The star of the show, the Kindle Colorsoft, is available for pre-order now with an official release date of Oct. 30. The seven-inch display features paper-like color, a first for the brand. Not only are books in color, but highlighting is now in color too, where readers can mark standout sections in yellow, orange, blue and pink. The device is also glare-free, waterproof and a single charge lasts up to eight weeks. The Colorsoft is ideal for graphic novels and travel guides, and allows users to browse a library of colorful covers like never before.
