Have you decided what deeply discounted smartphone, tablet, or wireless earbuds you’ll get this Amazon Big Spring festival? If so, it might be time to pay some attention to a slightly more overlooked product category too and think about purchasing the Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition while it’s available at its lowest price to date.
This is Amazon’s first-ever color e-reader, and after making its commercial debut at a list price of $279.99 less than six months ago, you can now save a very cool (and totally unprecedented) 55 bucks. Perhaps even more impressively, the 32GB storage-packing Kindle Colorsoft can be bundled with a nice leather cover and a handy wireless charging dock at a heftier $104 discount from a regular combined price of $362.97.

Both these Big Spring deals come with no special requirements or strings attached, which means that you don’t need to be a Prime member to save as much as 104 bucks this week… or while supplies last.
Not exactly praised by its early adopters for a 7-inch color display with up to 300 ppi (pixel-per-inch) resolution that definitely seems to look better on paper than out in the real world, the Kindle Colorsoft Signature is still an undeniably cutting-edge e-book reader that shines as far as battery life is concerned.
Believe it or not, a single (USB-C) charge should keep this bad boy going for up to eight weeks, and that’s despite the fancy new device offering a very handy (and, you might think, energy-consuming) front light for all nighttime readers.
Like the slightly cheaper Kindle Paperwhite but unlike the entry-level Kindle and the super-expensive Kindle Scribe, the Colorsoft can be taken to the pool without much worrying thanks to an IPX8-rated “waterproof” build. Meanwhile, the screen bezels are… not exactly slim, but the “flush-front” design further adds to the mainstream appeal of a virtually unbeatable value proposition in a… not exactly very crowded e-reader industry right now.
