Argos beats Amazon's 'lowest ever price' for colour Kindle with double discount
'So comfortable and light to hold and the battery life is amazing!'
Reading is a hobby that many people enjoy as it allows you to slip into another world for a couple of hours, while also giving yourself some much needed time away from social media and the internet.
While many people enjoy collecting and reading paperback and hardback books, these can quickly take up space in your home, which can be overwhelming if you do not have your own at-home library. In order to combat this, a handy gadget that is a must have for an avid reader is a Kindle.
Storing millions of books all in one compact device, a Kindle can be easily taken anywhere without taking up any extra space. With a variety of models on the market, one of the most popular editions is the Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition - which usually retails for £269.99 on Amazon.

Now while this is a hefty price tag, Argos is currently offering a double discount on the 32GB Kindle Colorsoft that shoppers won't want to miss. While already reduced down to £214.99 to match Amazon's current discounted price, shoppers can cut the price further by using the code RED10 at checkouts - dropping the price to £193.49.
This is the lowest ever price seen for the Kindle Colorsoft, reports the Express, as Amazon's price tracker site CamelCamelCamel shows the lowest cost up until now being £219.99.
The Kindle Colorsoft is Amazon's first ever colour screen kindle, which allows users to see book covers and in-book pictures in colour, making it an ideal choice for those who enjoy comic books and graphic novels. This is a major switch up from the older editions of the device which are predominately white, black and grey.
As Amazon's first ever colour screen kindle, this device shows book covers and in-book illustrations in colour. Boasting a 7-inch anti-glare display, this device is easy on the eyes and allows users to highlight in a variety of colours.
This colourful edition is also great for those who enjoy text-based books as it comes with a 7-inch display that shoppers have said is 'easy on the eyes'. It also allows users to highlight their favourite parts with colourful highlighters, including yellow, orange, blue and pink.
Also equipped with a battery life of up to eight weeks, as well as a glare-free and auto-adjusting display, this device is perfect for long trips and for sitting outside in the glorious sunshine.
However, for those not fussed about having colour and are looking for something cheaper, shoppers can also use the same Argos discount code on the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 2024 16GB. Retailing on the website for £134.99, savvy shoppers can drop the price down to £121.49 using the code RED10.
Alternatively, for those wanting to step away from the Kindle, Currys is currently selling the KOBO Clara BW 6-inch eReader for £129. With a 16GB storage, this device can hold 12,000 books and will provide weeks worth of battery life.
Back to the Kindle Colorsoft, it currently has a 4.5 star rating on Argos, with 85 per cent of the customers recommending this product to others.
One happy shopper said: "I had this new Kindle Colorsoft brought for my birthday from my husband. What a great present I can even read faster on a Kindle as opposed to hard back. I love it and you can read in sunlight and in the dark no need to change any settings. Happy wife happy life."
With another five-star reviewer adding: "I bought this item recently and I've found it to be really great, and I have hardly put it down, and it's much better than the one I used before, which froze on me a few weeks ago."
However, not everyone was blown away by the device. One person wrote: "Great kindle, easy to use. Colour not great on it (could be more bold)."
Best tech deals to shop
While another added: "Had to replace my older cheaper model (finally wore out after 7yrs) thought I'd treat myself to a more expensive model. To be honest it's no better than my last Kindle, but it's just as good so I can live with that."
Despite this, a top reviewer wrote: "I was contemplating buying one for a while as I wanted to get back into reading and with the amount of different kindles out there I was drawn most to this one and I’m SO glad I did!!!
"I’ve had it just over a week and have read four books already! So comfortable and light to hold and the battery life is amazing!!!! Do not regret buying at all."
While a sixth customer gushed: "Absolutely love it, great for reading books and comics, battery lasts forever, just love it!"
Kindle fans can now get the Amazon Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition for cheaper on Argos.
