Amazon’s newly launched Kindle Colorsoft is available at an unprecedented discounted price for the first time since its release last October. For a limited period, you can purchase Amazon’s inaugural full-color e-ink tablet for $230, down from $280. The Prime-exclusive discount gets even more enticing if you can provide an eligible trade-in device. By exchanging an old device—no need for it to be a Kindle—you can save an additional 20%.
If you wish to take notes on your Kindle, Amazon offers refurbished Kindle Scribe e-readers in like-new condition starting at $234. Additionally, you can also snag significant savings on Kindle Fire HD tablets.

$230 (was $280) | Additional 20% off with trade-in
The Kindle Colorsoft features a 7-inch full-color display, up to eight weeks of battery life, and a front light that automatically adjusts to your surroundings. If you enjoy annotating texts, the Colorsoft allows you to highlight passages in color, making it simpler than ever to keep track of notable quotes for future reference.
Other notable attributes of the Colorsoft include support for wireless charging, no advertisements on the lock screen, and 32GB of storage. If you love reading by the pool or relaxing in the bath, the Colorsoft e-reader is water-resistant with an IPX8 rating, meaning it can be fully submerged in water up to 6.5 feet deep for as long as 60 minutes.
The ultimate reason to choose the Colorsoft is if you’re interested in transitioning to digital comics and graphic novels. Its color display significantly enhances the experience compared to black-and-white e-readers like the standard Kindle—and at $230, it’s easier to recommend.
As mentioned, you can save even more with an eligible trade-in device. You could potentially save an additional 20%, even if you trade in a low-priced item like a Fire Stick. The 20% discount is applied to the sale price, so in this scenario, you could save an extra $46 just for trading in any eligible device. Consequently, the Colorsoft’s price would drop to $184.
The $184 price does not include the value of the device you plan to send to Amazon. A Fire Stick is worth just a few dollars, however,
higher-end models may potentially be valued significantly higher. The Kindle Scribe 16GB version, for example, is priced at $85.

16GB – $234 (previously $310) | 32GB – $260 (previously $325)
Speaking of the Kindle Scribe, this versatile e-reader and note-taking e-ink tablet is also currently on discount. The Scribe features a 10.2-inch Paperwhite touchscreen boasting 300 ppi (pixels per inch).
This particular model includes Amazon’s Premium Pen, which is equipped with a built-in eraser and shortcut button, proving useful for writing and sketching.
The 32GB model is now $260 (previously $325) while the 16GB model is priced at $234 (previously $310). Note that both options are pre-owned but are rated Like-New. Amazon has already sold over 65% of its 32GB Scribe inventory, and the 16GB offer saw its claims go up from 1% to 15% in just half an hour. If you are interested, you may not need to wait too long to secure one.

The first option features a 10.1-inch display with a 1080p resolution, while the latter is smaller at 8 inches with a resolution of 1280 x 800. Additionally, Amazon’s Fire 7 Kids tablet is now available for $70 (previously $110) and includes a full year of Amazon Kids+, which usually costs $6/month or $48/year. Amazon Kids+ offers hundreds of games, shows, books, and more.
Moreover, Amazon has bundle offers for its premium Fire Max 11 tablet. The Fire Max 11 Productivity Bundle includes the official keyboard case with a trackpad and Amazon’s stylus for a $75 discount, dropping the price to as low as $280.
