Highlight in color

Whether you’re reading nonfiction, romance, a thriller, or anything in between, you’re bound to come across a memorable quote or insight you’ll want to revisit. Now you can highlight text in yellow, pink, blue, or orange, and filter your highlights by color in your annotation notebook.

Switch between color styles

Kindle users love being able to customize their reading experience, whether that’s by changing their font size, brightness, or layout. For Kindle Colorsoft, we’re introducing a new setting that allows you to change the color style. Under Settings, choose between Standard or Vivid depending on the kind of content you’re reading, where you’re reading, or just to tailor the display to your comfort.

Explore maps, graphics, and photographs in color

Many science, history, and general nonfiction books include color diagrams, maps, and images that provide more information on a topic. If you need to get close to the details of an image, just pinch and zoom on the screen of your Kindle Colorsoft. Try it out on a map in a travel guide or fantasy book.

Read color comics and other illustrated books

A subscription to Kindle Unlimited or Comixology Unlimited unlocks access to thousands of comics on Kindle devices. Kindle Colorsoft offers Comixology's Guided View, which allows you to choose between reading a full page of a comic or an individual panel, so you get the most out of each moment in the story. In supported titles, double tap on any panel to enter the full-screen guided view, and swipe left or right to move to the next or previous panel.

Kindle Colorsoft was meticulously designed to deliver an ideal color reading experience. Plus, you can choose between standard or vivid color styles, to tailor the display to your preference. It also comes with wireless charging, lasts up to eight weeks on a single charge, and is waterproof so you can bring it with you in the bath or take it to the beach without having to worry.
