When it initially released, shoppers did have some issues with lagging and a yellow line at the bottom of the display bar, but according to recent reviews (and the detailed video from TikTok creator @maggie_maeve above), the issues seem to be resolved now. Take it from this buyer who said, "I love my new Kindle Colorsoft! Not only can I read all my favorite books, but now I can finally read comics, magazines, and other full color publications, without the bulk and constant reminders of the outside world that iPads and Fire tablets tend to introduce." Another shopper said, "Mine has no yellow band. The display is beautiful. I'm absolutely in love with my new Kindle. My old one was 10 years old and still held a charge, but I wanted some of the newer features, and the color really got me!" Considering all that, plus the fact that you can snag it for just $225 this is the perfect time to finally upgrade your Kindle to the new Colorsoft model.
While you're at it, you might want to also grab some new physical reads on sale, whether they're for yourself or to gift this Mother's Day. One I would definitely suggest getting your hands on while it's on deal is V.E. Schwab's upcoming Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil, which I just read an early copy of and was absolutely *obsessed.* (BTW, every first edition comes signed!) Or if you're into fantasy romance reads and loved the BookTok-viral Phantasma that released last year, you're gonna want to snag the interconnected book, Enchantra by Kaylie Smith, that's out now (I also devoured this one in just a few days). And who could pass up Emily Henry's new release, Great Big Beautiful Life, or this fun story, The Usual Family Mayhem by HelenKay Dimon that's full of family hijinks (and if you're like me, entertaining enough to keep you distracted while waiting for a doctor's appointment)?
Whether you choose to upgrade to the Colorsoft, grab some new paperbacks to bring to the beach this summer or just load up your own Kindle with e-books that cost less than a cup of coffee, remember to do it soon because these deep discounts end on April 28—so get to shopping.
