The Kindle Colorsoft is our favourite model by far – and it’s just hit a new record-low price at Amazon

Amazon‘s huge Spring Deal Days sale is live this week, and as anticipated, some of the best deals are reserved for the retailer’s own-brand devices. In particular, a real highlight is the Kindle Colorsoft for £164 (was £239).

The Colosoft is Amazon’s first-ever colour-display Kindle, and it’s a model that’s not as partial to discounts as the others in the range. Even better still, today’s deal beats the previous record-low from Black Friday by £5.

At £164, today’s deal addresses one of the main criticisms from our Kindle Colorsoft review – the price. £240 feels a little steep for a device that’s essentially just a colour version of the Paperwhite, but at under £170, it’s a good choice in my opinion.

You’ll not only get a 7-inch colour display with the Colorsoft, but also multi-week battery life, 16GB of internal memory, and adjustable warm light. As with the Paperwhite, it’s waterproof, making it a versatile device for holidays and the like. I feel like Amazon’s discount is almost perfectly timed for those thinking ahead to the summer months, but either way, it’s a great price cut at a time of the year that’s usually ‘off-peak’ for these types of deals.
