Amazon's new Kindle Colorsoft offers rapid page transitions, which have taken away the page-turning glitch many readers have reported seeing in older models.
| AMAZON PRESSThe Kindle Colorsoft models deliver all the features you've come to expect from Kindle, but enhanced with a colour e-ink screen. This means browsing book covers is much more vibrant than when you read from the standard Paperwhite. You can read graphic novels, magazines, and other illustrated content without missing some of the context normally illustrated with the use of colour.
The colourful e-reader features an adjustable warm light for comfortable reading at any point of the day, too.
For those who prefer dark mode, the Page Color feature inverts the traditional black text on a white background. If your eyes are more sensitive to bright screens, especially over a longer period of time, then the option to turn on dark mode be especially beneficial for you.
These newer Kindle models also offer rapid page transitions, which has taken away the page-turning glitch many readers have reported seeing in older models.
If your morning commutes to the office are on the longer end or taking a long-haul flight, you won't have to worry about scouting out an outlet to charge your device. Like all other models, the battery can last for weeks instead of days. During a holiday, I've been able to forgo packing the extra charger altogether because I can count on my battery lasting for the full trip.
In the Amazon Kindle Colorsoft highlight your text as you read in yellow, orange, blue, and pink. | AMAZON PRESSPlus, the Kindle Colorsoft has a waterproof design, so you can read worry-free at the hotel pool without the need for a case or worrying about damaging a traditional book.

What's especially great about the colour e-reader is that you can highlight passages in four different colours - yellow, orange, blue, and pink - and filter these annotations later for easy reference. This is especially helpful when attending book clubs or studying. You can organise your notes based on the various colour options.
