This is I believe the cheapest a colorsoft has been, and the 16gb supposedly doesn't have the yellow band issues that some people have had with the 32gb model.

For anyone looking, there is also a bundle below with the clear and fabric case for only 1.99 more at 171.98. The case is normally 36.99 so it seems worthwhile even as a backup case

Worth noting that if you have a kindle tied to your account, you'll see an "upgrade offer" that does NOT require you to send in your old kindle, at least if it's below a certain generation. I used that to buy a green base kindle for $64 the other day (I have a 2nd gen paperwhite I think? it replaced the kindle keyboard I loved for a decade before stepping on it). It's offering me this kindle for $135 even though I already used the offer once already and the new kindle has shipped.

Unfortunately, while a kindle user since ~2010, I don't think 16gb or even 32gb is even adequate for my needs. If I'm going with color, I'd prefer something that can natively read cbr/cbz and not have to convert and swap things off and on. I have some cbr/cbz that are 100mb+ per volume, with many volumes in the series. Maybe I could deal with a jailbroken kindle and loading cbzs from a nas, a google drive or swapping conversions in and out on my amazon account or something, but I don't want to count on that.

The only color ereader that really intrigues me is the Boox Go Color 7 because it has access to the play store and a microsd slot, so I'd have a ton of flexibility in both local cbz readers and manga repo apps. Supports a pen too (though kinda rudimentary, not for drawing). Costs twice as much though...

Amazon has the Kindle color soft on Black Friday sale for $169.99. Sales starts today and it's the best price I've seen on this brand new model. I have one and I am kind of in love with it Smilie

The 32 GB signature edition is also on sale. $229.99. Not worth it for me, but for those who have a lot of graphic novels, it might be worth it for the extra memory.

I've had mine for a day, but I think the screen is beautiful. Gorgeous. I've been on a last generation oasis for way too long apparently. This Kindle is so much faster and smoother and the colors just look fantastic. I don't think mine has any screen issues so far, but I have read about them. It made me hesitate in making the purchase, but I had some birthday money and took a chance.

I noticed that after placing my order, but really wanted the premium leather Kindle case that seems way over priced at $65. Purchased it anyway because I was using birthday money, but afterwards noticed they seem to have a lot of used "good and like new condition" for only $15-$17. It's a great case so I'm returning the new one I got and ordered a "like new" for $17. I highly recommend that one.

I'm still on the last gen Oasis. I'm having some trouble getting over losing physical buttons in an upgrade but also have an itch to upgrade. Is this good enough in other ways besides color to finally make the jump? Getting rid of my last microUSB device wouldn't hurt either.

This is the real deal!
Edit: Although I'm not sure if the 20% trade in promo applies to this bundle

For the bundle, they are showing $150 for the Kindle and $23 for the case. My past experiences is that you can return the accessories for the charged price, $23, refunded to you if you want a cheaper/different case.

Unfortunately, the 20% trade-in offer can't be applied. I just went through setting up my Echo Dot for trade-in and the $5 coupon showed, but the 20% off did not, when checking out. Tried it with the Kindle by itself and the 20% coupon showed up.

Bought the Kindle colorsoft earlier this year. Immediately did a jailbreak. This was when models were still available that allowed a jailbreak. Installed Koreader. Was kinda happy with the experience. But the lack of buttons still bothered me. So bought the kobo libra color few months ago. I honestly think the kobo is a much better device. I originally bought the kindle thinking the colors would be much better. But honestly the difference is not really noticeable. The physical buttons make is much more convenient. And I paired it with an 8bitdo micro controller making it much more convenient.
