Amazon’s most affordable color-display Kindle reader is $50 off right now

Amazon unleashed a more affordable version of its Kindle Colorsoft last summer and it is seeing a solid price drop to kick off 2026. Now sitting down at the second-lowest price we have tracked all-time, Amazon’s most affordable color-display Kindle is $50 off at the moment. 

Amazon is offering the entry Kindle Colorsoft at $199.99 shipped. While you will find some more affordable models on sale below, this is the least expensive color display variant at $50 off the regular $250 list price. 

Since its release last August, there have only been a handful of chances to save. The best of which had it down at $170 for Black Friday and $190 in the lead up to Christmas, but you’re otherwise looking a the lowest we have tracked. 

You can learn more about Amazon’s more affordable 16GB Colorsoft in our launch coverage, and the rest of the New Year Kindle offers await below – the following deals are scheduled to end this morning though, so get in there while you can:
