Frequently asked questions
1. How is the reading experience different on Kindle Colorsoft than on
Kindle Paperwhite?
The Colorsoft display is distinct from the Paperwhite display. The Kindle Colorsoft is designed to provide a high-quality reading experience in both color and black and white. You may notice that the texture or brightness of the display looks different than the Kindle Paperwhite display. That's because of the color filter layer that creates the easy on the eyes color reading experience on Kindle Colorsoft. If you are looking for a slightly crisper black and white reading experience, you may want to check out Kindle Paperwhite, which has the fastest page turns and highest contrast ratio of any 2024 Kindle device.
2. Can I enable system-level Dark Mode on my Kindle Colorsoft?
Dark Mode is currently not available on this device. You can enable a similar reading experience within millions of books using the Page Color feature, which, like Dark Mode, inverts the book page color to black and the book text color to white. To enable the feature in eligible books, open your book, access the Quick Actions menu, and toggle the Page Color to black.
3. How does color impact Kindle Colorsoft battery life?
Kindle Colorsoft has up 8 weeks of battery life for you to enjoy. The Color Style selection (Standard or Vivid) on Kindle Colorsoft has no impact on battery life. If you are looking for longer battery life, you may like Kindle Paperwhite or Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, which both have up to 12 weeks of battery life.
