I didn't get the Kindle Colorsoft at first, but when I started reading comic books it was obvious – especially with almost 40% off
I've been holding out from getting a Kindle Colorsoft, but Prime Day made me think again
Having been a Kindle owner since they first emerged a couple of decades ago, I've had my eye on Amazon's most recent models – notably the Kindle Colorsoft range. However, I haven't really been that inspired to get one personally.
Two things changed that. First, I saw how comic books look on the full colour E Ink display – it makes a massive difference to see them as the artist intended. And second, Amazon slashed the price by a huge 38% for Prime Day.
At just £166.24 (over £100 off) it is actually cheaper than the usual price of a mono Kindle Paperwhite. And this is the Signature Edition we're talking about here, with wireless charging, an automatically adjusting front light and 32GB of internal storage.
The standard Kindle Colorsoft has an amazing deal too – down to £154.99 from £239.99. But considering that has half the storage, a manual "warm light", and doesn't support wireless charging, it's a no-brainer for less than £12 more.
I've always been a comic book reader (and collector), and do own an iPad Pro, but tablets aren't great on the eyes over extended reading sessions. And especially not at night when the lights are out.
The Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition is transformative therefore, allowing me to catch up on my graphic novels without impacting my subsequent sleep. And, with Kindle Unlimited being free for three months at the same price in a bundle, I can find the vast majority of my favourites to read for free.
The one thing you will need to keep in mind is that to get the deal, you will need to be an Amazon Prime member. But that's also available for free for 30-days, and you can cancel before needing to pay a subscription fee.
Prime Day World Cup fun
Prime Day is throwing up some other amazing deals too, including a trio of tech bargains picked by former England star and now pundit Theo Walcott – timely with the World Cup in full swing.
T3 has been sent his recommendations in the sale, which include the Oura Smart Ring 4 at just £199 – reduced from £349.99 (so 43% off).
There's the "All-new" Ring Battery Video Doorbell, which comes with a free Ring Indoor Camera for just £37.99 (a saving of 68%). And he also suggests taking a look at the Marshall Major V wireless headphones at £90.72 – down from £129.99.
You can also check out T3's own Amazon Prime Day picks right here, which should have something for everyone. We're not half as good with a ball at our feet though.
