Amazon Prime Day is a great time to save on tech, especially Amazon devices that are always discounted during these events, like Echo speakers, Fire tablets, Ring doorbells, and Kindle devices.

Right now, you can save $35 on the Kindle Colorsoft Essentials Bundle, which gets you the Kindle Colorsoft, a plant-based leather case in your color choice, and a wireless charging dock.
The Kindle Colorsoft features the same 300 ppi display that’s standard for e-readers, except it also has a 150 ppi display for color images and 120 nits of brightness to really make your pages pop. Depending on your color preferences, you can customize the color settings to standard or vivid.
You can also highlight passages in your books in different colors and organize them into categories (i.e., quotes in yellow, facts in blue, characters to remember in purple, etc.).

Another impressive feature of the Colorsoft is that it’s water resistant (rated IPX8), so you can read it by the beach, pool, or in the bath. Plus, it has wireless charging, a feature previously only available in the Kindle Paperwhite.
You can snag the Kindle Colorsoft with the wireless charger and a colorful case with this bundle deal ahead of Amazon Prime Day sales that start next week on Oct. 7.

How I rated this deal
According to ZDNET’s deal-rating system, this 10% off deal should only be a 2/5 deal rating. However, I rated this deal a 3/5 since it gets you the Kindle Colorsoft devices, a case, and a wireless charger. The bundle aspect of this deal makes it a better deal than just snagging the device itself, and Amazon doesn’t frequently discount the Kindle lineup.
