In a subtle move typical of Amazon’s under-the-radar hardware tweaks, the Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition has received a quiet refresh for 2025. The updates, unannounced in any formal keynote, include meaningful upgrades to display clarity, battery efficiency, and storage—making an already premium e-reader even more compelling for book lovers.
The most notable improvement is the enhanced 7-inch 300 PPI E Ink Kaleido 3 display. Early adopters report richer color saturation and reduced glare under sunlight, addressing minor critiques of the first-generation Colorsoft. The screen now rivals print comics and illustrated novels, with smoother gradients and deeper blacks.
Battery life sees a 20% boost thanks to a redesigned power-management chip, extending usage to "weeks, not days" between charges. Storage jumps to 64GB (up from 32GB), a nod to readers hoarding graphic-heavy content. The signature auto-adjusting front light also now includes a warmth scheduler, syncing color temperature with local sunrise/sunset times to reduce eye strain.

Pricing remains unchanged at €269/$249, positioning it as a direct competitor to Kobo’s color e-readers. Industry analysts suggest the stealth upgrade aims to consolidate Amazon’s lead ahead of holiday sales.
The refresh isn’t revolutionary but refines an already polished device. As one reviewer noted: "It’s the Kindle Oasis of color e-readers—luxurious, lightweight, and finally flawless for manga and magazines."
