Lately, we’ve been thinking about what we love about Kindles. However, there’s one thing that you could never love about a Kindle — the beautiful colors. That is, until now.

Around six months ago, Amazon released the Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition (sometimes referred to as just the Kindle Colorsoft) for a beautiful color version of the Kindle. It’s standard price is $280 but you can get it for a discount of $55 right now, making it just $225. If knowing that it is one of the best Kindles (except that it finally has color) is enough for you to figure out that this is a buy for you, just tap the button below to find the deal. Otherwise, keep reading to see why we think this is a good deal.

Why you should buy a Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition

The clear advantage of the Kindle Colorsoft is its colored screen. One thing you’ll love about this Kindle is how transformative it is to the browsing experience. While we’re told to not judge a book by its color, we’re mammals and we do. The Kindle Colorsoft brings book covers to their full, living color — not to mention the illustrations inside. Furthermore, if you most just read books on the Kindle and use it as a tablet for notes and annotations, you’ll be quite pleased by the ability to finally use colored highlights in your favorite texts. Finally, while our Kindle Colorsoft review does mention a couple of hiccups with reading comics on the device, it also mentioned that they looked “sharp and defined.”

This product is more than just a colorized eReader, though. It has 32GB of storage, a battery life of eight weeks, an auto-adjusting light for day and night reading, wireless charging options, and a waterproof body that finally makes bath time reading achievable. The Kindle Colorsoft is a robust little device you’re sure to love.

To get your Kindle Colorsoft at a price of just $225 (instead of the regular $280) and save $55, just tap the button below. Alternatively, take a look at our list of the best Kindle alternatives. This list includes items like the Kobo Clara Colour and the Boox Go Color 7, both of which are direct competitors to the Kindle Colorsoft and also do color.

A niche iPhone browser quietly fixes my biggest problem with Google Search
Quiche Browser open on iPhone

If there's a new browser, email app, or note-taking app to try, chances are I've already installed it. Like every other productivity nerd, I'm always chasing the perfect setup. That's how I stumbled upon Quiche Browser. It was already close to replacing the Arc Search for me on the iPhone, but its latest update finally pushed it over the edge, earning it a spot as my default browser.

Google has to play fair with AI rivals on Android, and that could be good news for your wallet
A new ruling strips Gemini of its exclusive access to deep Android integration, opening the door for cheaper AI models to offer similar functionality for less.

After forcing Google to open up Android to third-party app stores, the EU is back with a new target, and this time it's Gemini's home-field advantage. The European Commission ordered Google on July 16 to give rival AI apps the same deep access to Android that's currently exclusive to Gemini. The order falls under the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA), and it directs Google to stop treating its own assistant as a first-class citizen on a platform it controls.

Top phone brands should learn how to deck out a flagship without nuking our wallets
Red Magic 11S Pro Full Rear Design

I've always had a soft spot for devices that lean heavily into one aspect as their main identity. From phones that aim to replace a dedicated camera to devices with batteries larger than some power banks, these products know exactly what they were made for. They do not chase the same all-rounder brief as a typical flagship.

The Red Magic 11S Pro is a great example of this. I've always had a soft spot for devices that lean heavily into one aspect as their main identity.
