Amazon’s latest Kindle Colorsoft e-reader has been out for a hot minute now, but this is the first time it’s dipped down to 20% off its original launch price. So, if you’ve been dreaming about an e-reader with a color display, this $280 color e-reader is now just $225.

The Kindle Colorsoft has a 7-inch display with glorious paper-like color as well as paper-like ink for equally comfortable reading of book covers, diagrams, images, and of course text. That means the Colorsoft is ideal for digital comic books, textbooks, and more. It also has a built-in light for reading while your lights are off, so you can read well into the night or even when you’re out camping in the middle of the woods.

This colorful e-reader promises about eight weeks of battery life on a single charge, which is in line with other Kindle models. But what’s even better about the Colorsoft is that it can be wirelessly charged—if you keep it on a charging pad at night, it will always be at 100% for you.

Its 32GB of storage space should be enough to hold all your ebooks with ease. And you don’t have to worry about water damage thanks to the Kindle Colorsoft’s IPX8 waterproof rating, making it safe to use by the pool, at the beach, or while taking a bath.

Don’t miss out on this rare deal on a brand-new Kindle Colorsoft for $225! While you’re here, you might also want to check out the amazing discounts we’ve found across Amazon’s Big Spring Sale event.
