Amazon commits fully to launching Kindle Color digital readers
Amazon has announced the release of new color Kindle models, marking an expansion of its e-reader lineup. The new Kindle Colorsoft models, which include a more affordable 16GB version and a Kids edition, offer color displays, adjustable warm lighting, and features aimed at enhancing reading experiences for both adults and children [1][4].
The Kindle Colorsoft 16GB and Kids edition were introduced in July 2025 and are priced around $250 and $270 respectively [1][4]. The Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition 32GB 2025 model underwent revisions and is available in some regions such as Europe and Japan, but not yet in the US or Canada [3].
The basic Kindle Scribe, which is part of Amazon’s 2025 Kindle family lineup, was also mentioned but no specific release date has been provided [4]. By next year, the Kindle Basic and Kindle Scribe are expected to have color variations [2].
Amazon's rivals, Rakuten Kobo, are also embracing the future of color e-readers, citing improved shopping experience and standout content in the user's library [5]. However, no new information about Rakuten Kobo's competition or color devices was provided.
The recently released color Kindle models have been well-received, considered a great success [6]. Michael Kozlowski, an expert in audiobooks, e-books, and e-readers with 18 years of writing experience, resides in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada [7].
