Amazon's Signature Edition of Kindle Colorsoft Might no Longer be in Production?
The original Kindle Colorsoft 32GB edition, featuring quick charging and an ambient light sensor, remains the only version of the Kindle Colorsoft available for purchase. This edition, also known as the Signature Edition, can be found on the Kindle Landing page and is the premium model designed for users who want these advanced features and more storage.
While the Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition is no longer listed on the Kindle Comparison Chart, it is still available outside the United States and United Kingdom, including in Australia and Canada. In Australia, the Signature Edition is available now, priced at AU$449, and in Canada, it is also offered alongside a newer 16GB version.
In Australia, the 32GB Signature Edition comes with 32GB storage, auto-adjusting front light, wireless charging, and waterproofing. The 16GB model is available at a lower price as well [4]. In Canada, the 32GB Signature Edition and the newly introduced 16GB model (without an ambient light sensor) are for sale, with the 32GB model including advanced features like the auto front light and wireless charging [3][5].
It's important to note that the newer 16GB model does not have an ambient light sensor, while the 32GB Signature Edition does. The 32GB edition is the full-featured Kindle Colorsoft, offering a superior reading experience for those who value these features [2][3].
However, the Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition faced thousands of negative reviews due to a yellow band issue. Amazon has not yet confirmed whether they are discontinuing the Signature Edition, but as of now, it is still available for purchase in the US, UK, Australia, and Canada [1].
Meanwhile, Amazon has also released new e-readers, including the Kindle Colorsoft 16GB and Kindle Colorsoft Kids Edition, which have the same body as the Kindle Paperwhite 12th generation and feature new screen technology for a colorful experience [6]. These new e-readers were released last week, marking Amazon's first color e-reader [7].
