Black Friday is almost here, and we've rounded up some of the best deals for you so that you don't have to go hunting them down yourself. Speaking of deals, some of the newest e-readers from Amazon, launched in July, are already heavily discounted. For instance, the latest Kindle Colorsoft is available at a 32% discount, bringing the price down to $169. Plus, you can get it at an even better price by trading in an old Kindle for an extra 20% off!

I've been trying to squeeze in some reading early in the morning or late at night when everything's quiet, so this new Kindle has definitely caught my eye since it came out. I'm currently using the 2021 Kindle Paperwhite, and I'd totally love a massive color upgrade. Imagine a new Kindle that not only keeps the screen glare-free but also adds a pop of color to those graphic novels! It's been this weird little thing—I really want the cover of the book on my Kindle to actually have color, making it feel like I'm holding the real copy, and I think this is as close as it gets.

✅Recommended if: You love seeing your book covers in full color on the lock screen or browsing a colorful library grid. And if you're into superhero comics, manga with color spreads, or if you read to your children, then this device is a game-changer.

❌Skip this deal if: You're someone who likes to read with the text crisper, the background is whiter, and you need wireless charging on your e-reader.

This device definitely bridges the gap for comic book fans, manga readers, and people who need color to understand charts, maps, and diagrams, or who simply want to organize their notes with multi-colored highlights (yellow, orange, blue, and pink).

It allows you to enjoy the vibrant cover art of your library and read graphic novels without the eye strain of an iPad, all while retaining the glare-free, distraction-free experience, which is what we need while we read. The Kindle Colorsoft gets an immersive 7-inch Colorsoft E-Ink (Kaleido 3) display, and customizable visuals with "Standard" or "Vivid" saturation modes. The device can stay alive for 8 weeks on a single charge.
