If we think about the best tech gifts of 2025, some are geared toward gamers while others are perfect for kids. But if you’re searching for an item that’s likely to thrill almost anyone on your Christmas shopping list, it’s an e-reader. Almost everyone is either constantly diving into new titles or has the best intentions to stop scrolling and read more. If you’re looking for an e-reader, check out this Amazon deal.
As of Dec. 22, the Kindle Colorsoft is on sale for $189.99 at Amazon, marked down from the usual price of $249.99. That’s a 24% discount.
A Kindle is the perfect device for anyone looking to cut down on doom scrolling. The doom will still be there tomorrow so why not head into the wonderful world of a book instead? The Kindle Colorsoft is a great version if you like manga, studying maps at the beginning of books, or reading graphic novels. It’s Mashable’s top pick for the best Kindle if you want a color version.
Like most Kindles, you’ll be in line for excellent battery life. We’re talking about up to eight weeks of battery before you’ll need to recharge. An iPad could never. The seven-inch display size on the Kindle Colorsoft is a great middle ground, offering enough space to not need to turn the page after two sentences but still small enough to be travel-friendly.

Mashable Shopping Reporter and e-reader expert Samantha Mangino noted the Kindle Colorsoft is just as quick and efficient as the popular Kindle Paperwhite, but she wasn’t convinced it was worth the $250 price. However, thanks to today’s sale price at Amazon, we’re getting way more bang for the buck.
If you’re still not thrilled about the price of the Kindle Colorsoft even with the sale, consider the Kobo Clara Colour which is on sale for $139.99 at Amazon. It’s one of Mashable’s favorite e-readers and comes in at a more affordable price. In either case, your reading wishes for 2026 will be off to a great start with a fresh e-reader.
