The best Kindle deal right now

I review ereaders for a living and while I wouldn't recommend a colour ereader to most readers, those who read more comics or graphic novels would actually put it to good use. If you're one of them, the Kindle Colorsoft is cheaper than what it was during Black Friday and Boxing Day last year, and cheaper than March's Big Smile Sale — it was AU$309 for all of them.

It briefly dropped to AU$294 in December, then was AU$299 for a short while in May, and it's back to the latter price. So while not an all-time low, it's still an excellent price for the Kindle Colorsoft's 16GB model.

The best thing about the Colorsoft is that it's the only colour ereader I've seen that has a separate Vivid mode that enhances the colours displayed and, unlike other E Ink Kaleido 3 devices like the Kobo Libra Colour and Boox Go Color 7 Gen II, you get what it promises – slightly more saturated hues. Again, keep in mind this is an E Ink display, so don't expect it to match an iPad or your phone, but it sure displays nice colours, which is great for comic fans.

It's sale season! What a time to be shopping! Not only are the EOFY 2026 sales going on at nearly every other Aussie retailer, but Amazon has kicked off its annual Mid-Year Sale to coincide and make your tax-time purchases even easier.

While you have a lot of choice right now when it comes to choosing the retailer you want to shop from, it's hard to argue that Amazon typically has the best prices on a lot of products. Sure, its tech catalogue is limited in comparison but, for what it does have, it's arguably the best place to shop.

Importantly, if you happen to be a Prime member, you can get your purchase either on the same day, the next day or within a few days, depending on where you live. You don't need to have a subscription to shop this sale, though, so you can shop till you drop. And if you happen to purchase a tech item that you'll use for work, your total savings will increase because it'll be tax deductible too. So make sure you know how to find your Amazon invoices.
