Though the holidays have passed, Amazon still has some deals lingering around for shoppers to enjoy. Among them are discounts on their e-readers, including the Kindle Colorsoft Kids (16GB). If you've had one in mind to get for your child so they can start the new year with new reads, now is the time to grab it.
The Kindle Colorsoft Kids has dropped from its list price of $269.99 to $219.99, allowing you to save $50. Keep in mind it's currently listed as a limited-time deal,, so you'll want to be quick to score it at this price before it's gone for good.
Thanks to the Colorsoft display, the Kindle Colorsoft Kids can make comics and colorful art from books really pop. It also has an excellent battery life that can last up to eight weeks, so there's plenty of time to cruise through books before plugging it in for a recharge. It's even waterproof, so it can handle future trips to the pool or beach as the warmer weather comes around.
As a bonus, it even comes with 12 months of Amazon Kids+, which is a subscription designed for kids between the ages of 3 to 12. With it, they'll gain unlimited access to a vast library of books. Once the 12 months is up, the subscription will be auto-renewed every month starting at $5.99 per month, but it can be cancelled at any point if you're not interested.
In our overall review of the Kindle Colorsoft, Mashable's Samantha Mangino noted that, while the regular Kindle Colorsoft may not be worth it for the average reader, the "color display is a huge boon for kids who want to experience their favorite books in color." If it's caught your eye, now's the time to make a move on the Kindle Colorsoft Kids.
