This Android e-reader with E-ink color display and physical page turn button undercuts Kindle Colorsoft at $220 low today

New low/$220

We just spotted a deal at Amazon that drops the BOOX Go Color 7 Android-powered e-reader down to $219.99 shipped. This unit typically sells for $250 and hasn’t seen many discounts since it debuted last year. In fact, it’s been going for around $270 on Amazon in recent months, making today’s $50 price drop a solid deal. This is the lowest price we have tracked for this reader with a color E-ink display, so be sure to snag it after you learn more about it below.

Amazon Kindle Colorsoft

BOOX may have launched a new Gen 2 model of this Go Color 7, but this one’s still pretty capable and has some solid specs. It sports a 7-inch E-ink color display and is powered by an octa-core chip along with 4GB of RAM. It comes with 64GB of storage out of the box — that’s twice as much as the pricier Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition and four times more than the brand-new 16GB Kindle Colorsoft. It’s powered by Android and supports various document formats, and it even comes with a physical page-turn button. Other highlights of this e-reader include a Type-C port, a microSD card slot to add more storage, a built-in speaker, and more. You can learn more about the experience of using this in our hands-on review right here.

This deal comes hot on the heels of Amazon’s new Kindle Colorsoft debut yesterday. It’s essentially a 16GB model that’s priced slightly less than the original Colorsoft Signature Edition at $250, and it debuted alongside a Kids Edition bundle as well.
