Amazon’s New Full-Color Kindle Could Be A Game Changer For Comic Books

Amazon has revealed five new Kindles, including its first full-color e-ink tablet. The Kindle Colorsoft is a brand-new addition to the lineup, and it’s a potential game changer for fans of comic books and graphic novels. You can already read digital comics on any Kindle reader, but unless it has black-and-white illustrations, you lose a key component of the story. If the Kindle Colorsoft works well, you will be able to read all of your favorite full-color comics, graphic novels, and manga as intended, with the inherit benefits of an e-ink display. It releases October 30 and is available to preorder now for $280.

The Kindle Colorsoft sounds even more appealing when you consider Amazon’s Comixology Unlimited subscription service. Comixology Unlimited offers over 45,000 comics, graphic novels, and manga for $10 per month (after a free 30-day trial). The catalog includes comics and graphic novels published by Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, Image, and other leaders in the visual storytelling medium. Kindle Unlimited also has graphic novels and manga, but Amazon’s $12/month flagship reading subscription service has a much larger focus on novels.

The Kindle Colorsoft releases October 30 and is available to preorder now for $280.
