Amazon has delivered a festive surprise for last-minute shoppers, cutting the price of its colour-screen Kindle Colorsoft to a record low just days before Christmas.
A Second Chance at Black Friday Savings
The retail giant has reduced the Kindle Colorsoft to £164, matching the discount offered during the Black Friday sales event. This represents a substantial 31% saving on the device's original recommended retail price of £239.99. For those who missed the November bargains, this offer provides a perfect opportunity to secure a premium e-reader at a budget-friendly cost.
This latest price cut makes the colour e-reader only marginally more expensive than its monochrome counterpart, the Kindle Paperwhite, which is currently available for £134.99. Amazon has labelled the promotion a "limited time deal," but has not specified an exact end date.
Why the Kindle Colorsoft Makes a Perfect Gift
The Colorsoft model is essentially a Paperwhite with a vibrant colour display. This key upgrade allows users to view book covers in their library and the Kindle Store in full colour. It also significantly enhances the experience of reading illustrated books, comic books, and graphic novels, bringing their visuals to life.
The device retains popular Kindle features, including waterproofing for worry-free reading by the bath or pool, and an adjustable front light with a warm tone to reduce eye strain in low light. Amazon claims the battery can last up to eight weeks on a single charge and it recharges via a modern USB-C port, compatible with most current smartphones.
It is important to note that the Colorsoft does not support a stylus. Readers who wish to jot extensive notes directly onto their e-books or create digital notebooks would need to consider the more expensive Kindle Scribe model.
Christmas Delivery Guaranteed
In a crucial move for the holiday season, Amazon is promising delivery in time for Christmas, subject to cut-off times. As an example, orders placed before 7pm on Friday, 20th December, were scheduled for delivery on Monday, 22nd December.
This Kindle promotion is not the only significant deal currently running on Amazon's marketplace. Shoppers can also find a Hisense 50-inch QLED TV, originally priced at £799, now on sale for just £395—a saving of over £400.
For book lovers seeking a cutting-edge reading experience, the Kindle Colorsoft at its lowest-ever price presents a compelling and timely gift option this Christmas.
