Whether you’re building a new one TBR list every month or choose yours the book club’s newest pickyou’ll want to know more about the new Kindle model that could seriously upgrade your next reading session. I’m of course talking about the one just released Kindle Colorsoft ($280) from Amazon, which has the same nifty 7-inch screen as fan favorite Paperwhite, but as the name suggests, it’s offered in *color*. This is huge news for digital bookworms, so consider this a not-so-subtle hint to gift it to your favorite bibliophile this holiday season. But before you head to the checkout, read on for all the details on the latest Kindle device, plus some exciting updates for other models.

In addition to displaying the beautiful covers and illustrations of your e-books, this Kindle’s color display also has practical applications. For starters, anyone who likes to highlight or annotate their books will love being able to organize their thoughts with different colored highlighters. Not to mention, it’s a total game changer for graphic novel lovers, who can now fully immerse themselves in the illustrated content via Kindle. And while it may be a small thing for some, I’m mostly excited to finally be able to see fantasy world maps in better detail.

According to Amazon, the Kindle Colorsoft’s battery can last up to eight weeks on a single charge (it’s also compatible with this handy wireless charging pad), and it has 32 gigabytes of storage, so you don’t have to worry about running out of space for your digital library. It’s also waterproof, like other Kindle models, so you’ll have no trouble relaxing with your current book in the bath or poolside on your next vacation. As far as covers go, you’ve got plenty of options there – from a vegetable leather Unpleasant lightweight fabric And premium leather– and I have a feeling there are more to come to Etsy as we speak.

Some TikTok creators It should be noted that the color screen may take a bit of time to load and may seem less sharp than they had hoped, but overall this new Kindle sounds *seriously* impressive, IMO, and I can’t wait to get my hands on it.

But that’s not all: Amazon is also introducing updated versions of its beloved Paper white, Writer And simple Kindle models that kick off the gifting season. Improvements include faster page turns, new colors and longer battery life for the Paperwhite and base models, and a redesigned front display, improved pen and instant writing for the Scribe.

I think it’s safe to say that no matter which new model you choose, you’ll get some very good improvements to your reading experience with these new Kindles. And if you don’t have one yet, I recommend adding it directly to your holiday wish list like I did.
