Record low price on Amazon's color Kindle makes it a perfect payday deal
Add some color to your e-reader life
It's that time when your wages hit your bank account, meaning we've got a recommendation on what to spend some of that hard-earned cash on.
The Amazon Kindle Colorsoft is now down to $159.99 from its original price of $249.99, which is more than a third off for Amazon Prime Day deals week – and it's never been cheaper.

I've got one of these e-readers myself, and I'd say the color screen upgrade is well worth investing in – especially now it's significantly cheaper than ever before.
You get covers, illustrations, and photos in color rather than mono, plus you can use colors with your highlights too – which is very handy if you want to categorize different types of highlights and see the differences at a glance.
Reading through e-books on a Kindle couldn't be simpler, with Amazon refining the interface over the years to make it intuitive and straightforward. Something I make use of a lot is the X-Ray feature, which serves up a summary of plot, characters, and locations, so you never get lost (something you can't do as easily if you're reading a paperback).
The high-resolution 7-inch screen that the Kindle Colorsoft sports comes with an adjustable warm light, so you can easily adjust the tint of the screen and you don't need an additional light if you're reading after the sun goes down. It's waterproof too, which means less of a worry if you're taking this to the beach or the park.
An Amazon Kindle, in color
I initially wasn't sure about making the switch to e-readers, but the Kindles I've had – most recently the Colorsoft – have convinced me that this is the way to go. Text size and style can be quickly adjusted as needed, and these devices are just so much more portable than a stack of physical books, which is particularly important when traveling.
So, if you want my advice, you'll get yourself a Kindle Colorsoft while Amazon has it at this super-low discounted price. You can spend some of the money you save on a bit of reading material from the Kindle store – the 16GB of internal storage that this model comes with is enough space to fit in thousands of e-books.
