Amazon just dropped the price of its best color e-reader. For a limited time, buyers can get a 20% discount on the Amazon Kindle Colorsoft, saving $50 and bringing the cost down to $199.99. This deal applies to the version without lockscreen ads, which is often a premium upgrade.

While many readers stick to traditional black-and-white E Ink, the Colorsoft offers a 7-inch color display for covers, comics, and graphics without sacrificing the paper-like reading experience. It features 16GB of storage, an IPX8 waterproof rating, and a battery that can last up to eight weeks. The screen delivers 300 ppi resolution for text and 150 ppi for color.

This sale makes the premium device more accessible to those on the fence about the extra cost of color. It's a solid option for upgrading from an older model or buying a first e-reader. The discount is for a limited time, so interested shoppers should act quickly to secure the lower price.
