There's a color Kindle available for the first time. How does the Kindle Colorsoft compare to the Kindle Paperwhite? It's time to find out.
It’s not very often that Amazon announces an entirely new Kindle product. But it did this year with the upcoming Amazon Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition, the very first Kindle to sport a color display. How does this model compare to the also-announced Amazon Kindle Paperwhite ? It’s time to find out.
In comparison, this year’s Kindle Paperwhite retains the classic 7-inch e-paper display with a 300 ppi resolution, which is excellent for rendering sharp black-and-white text. While it lacks Colorsoft’s color capabilities, it maintains the exceptional clarity and readability that Kindle e-readers are known for.
It’s helpful to know that charging times remain consistent between the two models, even with Colorsoft’s added color technology. This suggests that Amazon has optimized the charging process to deliver a similar charging experience across both devices, or has put the same-sized battery in both.Amazon Kindle Colorsoft vs.
Regarding storage, the Kindle Colorsoft offers a generous 32GB, double the 16GB of the regular Kindle Paperwhite. While this difference suggests that the Colorsoft version can hold more books, it’s difficult to quantify precisely how many. Amazon states that both devices support “thousands of titles,” but the actual number varies depending on factors like file size and formatting, especially with the addition of color.
Interestingly, the Signature Edition offers similar features to the Colorsoft, including 32GB of storage and wireless charging, for a $40 premium over the standard Paperwhite. This makes it a compelling alternative for those who prioritize these features but aren’t ready to invest in Colorsoft’s color display.
