Amazon Kindle ColorSoft (2025) 16GB – Black

The Amazon Kindle Colorsoft (2025) — 16GB is Amazon’s mid-range color e-reader engineered for mixed-content consumption: high-contrast black-and-white text alongside a paper-like color E-Ink layer optimized for covers, images, children’s picture books and light comics. It balances low-power E-Ink battery efficiency with hardware and firmware tuned to preserve legibility of fine text while rendering muted, eye-friendly color.

Key Feature:

• Display: 7.0-inch Colorsoft E-Ink panel (paper-like color filter layer optimized for reading). Designed to prioritize text clarity while adding subdued color for images and covers.

• Storage: 16 GB internal flash — adequate for thousands of typical eBooks and hundreds of illustrated titles.

• Battery life: Multi-week battery life on a single charge under typical black-and-white reading; color-heavy usage shortens runtime. Battery charging via USB-C.

• Durability: IPX8 waterproof rating for immersion protection (suitable for poolside/bath reading scenarios).

• Lighting: Adjustable front light with warm-tone control for near-paper contrast in low light; multiple brightness steps for fine control.

• Software / UX: Kindle reading ecosystem features (custom fonts, adjustable text metrics, highlights in multiple colors, built-in accessibility/read-aloud tools and fast page turns). Color highlights and inline color support are implemented while retaining typical Kindle reading controls.
