Amazon has begun offering discounts on its Kindle Colorsoft Kids Edition in anticipation of the upcoming Prime Big Deal Days event. While the official sale has not yet started, early deals are available, presenting an opportunity to purchase the color e-ink tablet for children at a reduced price.
The current discounts are not as significant as those seen during Prime Day earlier this year. However, for those looking to acquire a reading device for a child, these deals offer a cost-saving alternative to full price. The most substantial price reduction currently applies to the Kindle Colorsoft, Amazon's e-ink tablet featuring a color display.
The Kindle Colorsoft has been available for some time, but the dedicated kids' version was released in July 2025 with 16GB storage models. This 'Kids' version includes several features tailored for younger users: an extended two-year warranty, 12 months of Amazon Kids+ subscription, a magnetic case, the removal of lock-screen ads, and a built-in parent dashboard.
Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days event is typically a favorable period for purchasing Kindles at a discount. Although the sale is still a week away, the current price reductions on the Kids editions are likely the most competitive consumers will see until Black Friday. It is worth noting that the lowest price for the Colorsoft Kids this year was recorded in June during Prime Day, when it was available for $179.99, a $30 decrease from the current offering. This suggests that while the present discount is advantageous, further price drops might occur during Black Friday 2026.
