For nearly two decades, the Kindle<\/a> has been transforming the way people read, offering a compact, convenient and travel-friendly solution to lugging around large and heavy books.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now, 17 years on from the initial launch, the newest Kindle is now finally available on Amazon Australia<\/a> and it boasts an upgrade that shoppers have been excited for.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The new Kindle Colorsoft range<\/a> has launched to Aussie customers, after the products went on sale late last year in America.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Colorsoft<\/a> is the first Kindle with a colour display and the product has been racking up rave reviews from happy customers who are thrilled with the upgrade.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Colorsoft for the win,’ one shopper wrote along with a five star review. Another labelled the product a ‘BIG upgrade’ from the original black and white version.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There are two options: The Kindle Colorsoft<\/a> boasts 16GB of memory, while the Colorsoft Signature Edition<\/a> has 32GB of storage but both units allow users to read in colour thanks to the high contrast Colorsoft display.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The updated ereader<\/a> boasts paper-like colour to bring book covers and images to life and the display and you have the option to highlight favourite pages or sections in yellow, orange, blue and pink.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Colorsoft Kindle<\/a> also boasts great battery power with a single charge lasting up to eight weeks and there is also a wireless charging dock<\/a> you can purchase to make charing even easier.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Perfect for travelling, the device is also waterproof<\/a> so there is no need to worry about taking it by the pool, using it at the beach or reading in the bath.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Whether you’re reading in the brightest sunshine or in the dark of the night, the Colorsoft has an auto adjusting front light<\/a>, as well as a glare-free display for the ultimate reading experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The updated devices<\/a> have been well received by Aussie customers and has quickly attracted over 150 reviews<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One happy shopper shared: ‘I love the my new Colorsoft<\/a> so much. It\u2019s fast, easy to use and the colours are gorgeous.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Colorsoft is the latest in the Kindle line-up, joining the Kindle Scribe<\/a> which went on sale in Australia at the end of last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Scribe<\/a> acts as a Kindle and a notebook and comes with a premium pen which allows the user to write directly onto book pages or journal away.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Customers love it because it feels like ‘writing on paper’ and the device has handy AI tools to help summarise notes or plan to do lists.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite the innovations and the product offerings the most compact Kindle is still incredibly popular and has over 10,000 reviews on the platform.\u00a0<\/p>\n
