Amazon makes some of our favorite ereaders — many NBC Select staffers swear by the Kindle Paperwhite, especially as a travel companion. But one area where Kindle has historically fallen short is color, making note taking or comic book reading a bit dull.
This all changed with the Amazon Kindle Colorsoft. It’s the brand’s first full-color ereader, and is our latest deal of the day at 20% off.

The headline feature with the Kindle Colorsoft is the color display. It looks and feels similar to the black and white display of other Kindle devices, only now you can enjoy comic books and highlighted notes in a full range of colors.
Outside of the color screen, the Amazon Kindle Colorsoft is very similar to the brand’s other ereaders. It has adjustable screen brightness and hue, 32 gigabytes of internal storage, IPX8 waterproofing and weeks-long battery life.You can download books from the Kindle store and sync your Kindle with a library app like Libby.
