In addition to displaying colorful images, the markings made in the books will also be colorful and can be customized directly on the devices.

IPX8 certification

Both new Kindle Colorsoft arrive on the market with support for IPX8 certification, which characterizes the product as a waterproof device: the devices can be submerged in fresh water up to 2 meters deep for up to 60 minutes, offering peace of mind to readers who like to enjoy their stories by the pool, on the beach, or even during a relaxing bath.

Although it does not guarantee protection against dust, its robustness against liquids reinforces the device's versatility, allowing reading to continue in practically any environment, without worrying about splashes or accidents.

Front light

Unlike the backlight on tablets and cell phones that projects glare directly into your eyes, the Kindle front light illuminates the e-ink screen indirectly, replicating the sensation of reading on paper under an external light source. This design minimizes eye fatigue, allowing for long reading sessions in any environment, from full sunlight to complete darkness. It's an interesting option for those who enjoy reading before bed and staying away from bright screens that can make it difficult to sleep deeper at night.

Differences between versions

The main distinction between the two devices launched today by Amazon — Kindle Colorsoft e Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition — resides in the extra features of the Signature Edition, which enhance the user experience. First, it offers the double the storage, with 32GB, providing plenty of space for a vast library of e-books, audiobooks, and especially the voluminous archives of color comics. On the other hand, the simplest model of Kindle in color has only 16 GB of internal storage.

Furthermore, the model Signature adds to convenience of wireless charging, allowing charging without the need for plugging in cables, simply by placing it on a compatible base. Finally, for maximum reading comfort, the most premium model also features a automatic adjustment of front light, which uses an ambient light sensor to adapt screen brightness to surrounding conditions, eliminating the need for manual adjustments, which are required on the 16GB model.

• Kindle Colorsoft 16GB: R$1.499 (black color)
