{"product_id":"amazon-kindle-colorsoft-16gb-colour-ereader","title":"Amazon Kindle Colorsoft Colour E-Reader (International Version)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe most important point first: Amazon has no official channel in Hong Kong, so this is a parallel import and the interface language is English. Amazon's own product page identifies it as Kindle Colorsoft (1st Generation) – 2025 release, with a 7-inch Colorsoft display running 300 ppi in black and white, 150 ppi in colour, 16-level greyscale, and 16 GB of on-device storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e7-inch colour e-paper\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmazon describes the panel as \"Amazon's 7\" Colorsoft display technology with built-in light, 300 ppi B\u0026amp;W, 150 ppi color, optimized font technology, 16-level gray scale\". Amazon also states directly that because of the added colour filter layer that creates the easy-on-the-eyes colour reading experience, you may notice the texture or brightness of the Colorsoft display looks different from the Kindle Paperwhite display. That is the manufacturer's own wording, quoted as-is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBattery and charging\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA single charge lasts up to eight weeks, measured on half an hour of reading per day with wireless off and the light setting at 13. It charges fully in under 2.5 hours with a 9W USB power adapter. Streaming Audible audiobooks over Bluetooth reduces battery life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWaterproofing and size\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rating is IPX8, tested to withstand immersion in 2 metres of fresh water for 60 minutes. The body measures 127.6 × 176.7 × 7.8 mm (5 × 7 × 0.3 inches) and weighs 215 g (7.6 oz). Amazon lists Black as the only colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWireless and file formats\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWi-Fi covers 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz networks with WEP, WPA, WPA2, WPA3 and OWE security. Natively supported formats are Kindle Format 8 (AZW3), Kindle (AZW), TXT, PDF, unprotected MOBI and PRC, plus Audible (AAX); PDF, DOCX, DOC, HTML, EPUB, TXT, RTF, JPEG, GIF, PNG and BMP are supported through conversion.
