If you want to use Amazon Prime Day pricing to get a colorful Kindle for cheaper, then look no further than the Kindle Colorsoft’s sale. This colorful e-reader has a fun, albeit muted, color screen that you won’t find on other Kindle devices besides the Kids version of this device (more on that below) and the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft. I do wish it had more features for the price point, like page-turner buttons, but Amazon recently added a true Dark Mode to the device at least. But that’s what makes buying a Colorsoft on sale the right move versus paying full price.
Both the regular and Signature versions are on sale for the Colorsoft, and the Signature version has the same benefits as the Paperwhite, with wireless charging and an auto-adjusting front light added. Both versions of the Colorsoft are ad-free, too.

Kindle (2024, 11th Gen)
Want a Kindle for under $100? This sale is the one to jump on. The 11th-generation Kindle is a little smaller than the Paperwhite and Colorsoft, with a 6-inch screen, and it doesn’t have the warm front light. It’s otherwise plenty powerful and snappy, especially for the price, and is the only Kindle to come in this fun matcha green color.
If you’re shopping for a Kindle for a kid, Kindle has a specific Kids version of both its Paperwhite and Colorsoft Kindles that are currently on sale. Both come with a fun cover and Amazon Kids+ content, but the Paperwhite Kids has six months of that content, while the Colorsoft Kids has a full year. The color screen is a great option for kids reading graphic novels and illustrated stories.
