If you're on the lookout for electronics deals this Prime Day, you're in luck because there are some great early discounts already popping up. Amazon's four-day sales event kicks off Tuesday, July 8, and runs through Friday, July 11, so you can expect more great deals going live each day — like the $363 Kindle Colorsoft Essentials Bundle, now just $212 for Prime members.
Many Prime Day deals are exclusive to shoppers with an Amazon Prime membership, so that's probably worth considering if you're not a subscriber already. For just $15 a month after a 30-day free trial, Prime gets you exclusive discounts; fast, free shipping all year long; access to the Prime Video streaming service; and loads of other great members-only benefits.
Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition Essentials Bundle, $212 (was $363) at Amazon
With a 7-inch display that looks and feels a lot like paper, the Kindle Colorsoft combines the blissful, distraction-free experience of a dedicated reader like the Kindle Paperwhite with the gorgeous colors of a more full-featured tablet. This is especially great if you enjoy reading digital comic books and graphic novels, but it also means you'll see the covers of all your digital books in their full glory as well.
The Kindle Colorsoft is waterproof, has a self-adjusting backlight and a glare-free screen, and offers seamless access to all the great Kindle books and comics you've owned and enjoyed for years. This Essentials Bundle includes 32 gigabytes of storage, a leather cover, and a wireless charging dock. On a full charge via USB-C, your new e-reader will last up to eight weeks.
“It's even better than a book,” said one satisfied shopper. “I love this thing. The screen is perfect, the backlight is adjustable, the colors are great, the page-turning effect is perfect, and its weight is perfect — a 10 out of 10 recommendation. The Colorsoft turned this page-turning paperback reader into a Kindle girl!”
Whether you're looking to free up some space on your bookshelves or just enjoy more of your digital library on the go, a good dedicated e-reader is the move. If you're shopping for a Kindle Colorsoft, save 42% with your Amazon Prime membership this Prime Day.
