Remember the text on the color one is not as crisp as the Paperwhite, so if you don't need color it's a bit of a compromise.

Is there any reason to think this will go lower on Prime Day?

If I recall correctly from last year, there might be additional offers on prime day when using prime visa card for a potential lower price ... However, I could be wrong, ymmv

Prime store card currently has 10% back on the Kid's version.

Most likely not a lower price. At most the 10% prime visa discount that applies to the kids version may get added to this one but that's only a guess/possibility.

Fyi this is not the "newest" colorsoft. The kids colorsoft deal is.
EDIT: looks like this is the newest revision. i read in the other kindle thread that listings without the word "newest" in the title aren't the latest revision. guess that wasn't right.

either way:

  • kids version gets 2 year warranty, and 10% CB with prime visa vs 1 year on this one
  • IMO not using the case anyway
  • And just a few extra steps to convert it to a regular kindle.

Tempting. I've bought regular kindles and my kids complain "The pictures don't have any color!" Anyone else have kids who might have taken more to reading on a colorsoft vs paper white?

They are both listed as the 2025 release of Kindle Colorsoft in the technical details section.

None of the e-ink kindles have apps or games.
