The Kindle Colorsoft is finally under $200 — Black Friday is the only time to buy this e-reader

SAVE OVER $30: The Kindle Colorsoft (16GB) is on sale for $169.99 in the Amazon Black Friday sale. That’s the lowest-ever price for this model.

I’ve been hunting for deals for many years. I know my around a sale, so Black Friday doesn’t really scare me anymore. But does that mean I can look at every product and tell you with complete confidence whether or not it’s worth your cash? No, unfortunately not.

It’s a good thing then that I work with loads of experts who test these products on a regular basis, so when I see the Kindle Colorsoft (16GB) on sale for $169.99 in the Amazon Black Friday sale, I can ask them for their opinion.

I asked Mashable’s resident Kindle expert Samantha Mangino for her assessment: “The Kindle Colorsoft is a solid e-reader. It has everything I love in the Paperwhite — adjustable warmth and brightness, a waterproof rating, and long battery life — but it has the bonus of color. Having tested the Colorsoft for our guide on the best color e-readers, I found it was a good e-reader at a not so great price. However, its Black Friday price of $169.99 is really superb. It finally brings the device under $200, one of the only color e-readers to be that cheap.”

What’s clear is that buying the Kindle Colorsoft at full price was not a straightforward decision, but at under $170? It’s hard to resist. This e-reader has never dropped to anything near this price before, so we really can’t see it falling any lower over Cyber Week. If you’re interested in buying, this is your moment to strike.

Score the best-ever price on the Kindle Colorsoft in the Amazon Black Friday sale.
