There are two options: The Kindle Colorsoft boasts 16GB of memory, while the Colorsoft Signature Edition has 32GB of storage but both units allow users to read in colour thanks to the high contrast Colorsoft display.
The updated ereader boasts paper-like colour to bring book covers and images to life and the display and you have the option to highlight favourite pages or sections in yellow, orange, blue and pink.
The Colorsoft Kindle also boasts great battery power with a single charge lasting up to eight weeks and there is also a wireless charging dock you can purchase to make charing even easier.
Perfect for travelling, the device is also waterproof so there is no need to worry about taking it by the pool, using it at the beach or reading in the bath.
Whether you’re reading in the brightest sunshine or in the dark of the night, the Colorsoft has an auto adjusting front light, as well as a glare-free display for the ultimate reading experience.
The updated devices have been well received by Aussie customers and has quickly attracted over 150 reviews.
One happy shopper shared: ‘I love the my new Colorsoft so much. It’s fast, easy to use and the colours are gorgeous.’
