Amazon is hosting a Black Friday sale featuring many of its e-readers. This includes the Kindle ColorSoft, which is discounted by $170. This thing normally costs $250, so this is a great deal and a record low price.
The model came out earlier this year and we gave it a glowing review and called it “the missing link in Amazon’s e-reader lineup.” It is the first Kindle e-reader in color, making it one of the best ways to read comic books and graphic novels. The pinch-to-zoom feature lets you get close to details to make each panel really pop.

This is also a high-end e-reader, color or not. We found load times to be exceptionally fast and the same goes for page flipping. It has an auto-adjusting front light, which comes in handy. There are also no lock screen ads by default and a single charge lasts for a full eight weeks of regular use.
The major downside here is the price. It’s really hard to recommend any e-reader at the original launch price of $250, or even $280. At $170 it’s very easy to recommend.
Amazon is also selling similar products at a discount, some of which made our list of the best e-readers. The base Kindle has dropped to $80, another record low. The Paperwhite is on sale for $125, which is another record low price. And keeping with the theme, the current generation Kindle Scribe is on sale for as little as $280, which is the cheapest we’ve seen so far.
