Kindle Colorsoft vs Paperwhite: Which E-Reader to Buy

Amazon's Kindle Colorsoft adds color e-ink for the first time, while the Paperwhite remains the monochrome standard. The Colorsoft costs $279.99, $130 more than the Paperwhite, but offers a 7-inch display with 4096 colors. Battery life is similar at up to 8 weeks, though color use reduces it.
