The three devices compared

Choose by how you read

Kindle 16GB | Matcha

Portable reading for text-heavy books

This is the 6-inch Kindle released in 2024, with 16GB of storage, no ads and up to six weeks of battery life. Its compact monochrome screen suits novels and reading on the commute. The verified offer here is for Matcha. Do not assume the Black version has the same offer, or confuse this device with the newly announced 2026 model.

Kindle Colorsoft 16GB | Black

Color covers, illustrations and comics

The 2025 Colorsoft has a 7-inch color display: 300ppi for black-and-white content and 150ppi for color. It includes an adjustable warm light, IPX8 water resistance, 16GB of storage and no ads, with up to eight weeks of battery life. It suits readers who want color illustrations and covers. Color e-paper behaves differently from a phone or tablet display, so review Amazon’s screen information before choosing.

Kindle Colorsoft Kids | Fantasy River cover

A device, cover and kids’ reading subscription

The Fantasy River version includes a 16GB device, a kids’ cover, 12 months of Amazon Kids+ and a two-year limited warranty. It supports IPX8 water resistance and adjustable warm light. Check both the included accessories and whether the books your child wants are available in the Japanese Kids+ catalog. Buying a device does not make all ebooks free.

Kids model + screen protector bundle

An alternative if you also need a screen protector

This option pairs the same Fantasy River Kids model with a screen protector; it is not a fourth device model. Check the protector’s compatibility and included accessories, then compare the current totals on both product pages. Its discount is compared with the listed bundle price (“セット品の価格”), rather than the past-price basis (“過去価格”) used for the standalone devices.

Enter the points campaign

On the official campaign page, select “キャンペーンにエントリー” and confirm that it changes to “エントリー済み”. Entry closes November 12 at 23:59 JST. Sign in to check your spending requirement, points rate, cap and eligibility. Points earned later are different from an immediate reduction at checkout.

Before you order

• The Black Kindle, Paperwhite and Scribe versions we checked did not carry the same sale details, so they are not presented as confirmed deals here. Other variants or later offers may differ.
• The selected offers are not marked as Prime-exclusive. Points-campaign eligibility and rates are separate; check the entry page while signed in.
• Battery figures are official “up to” estimates and depend on settings and use. IPX8 does not cover every situation; read the device’s care instructions.
• Review the term, renewal charges and cancellation conditions for Kids+ or any other reading subscription. Ebook purchases, subscriptions and device discounts are separate.
• Recheck the exact model, color, storage, seller, delivery estimate, shipping and final total before placing an order.
