# 5 things to try on the new Kindle Colorsoft

*The first color Kindle is available now.*

The all-new [Kindle Colorsoft](https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/devices/kindle-color-specs-price-announce) brings the joy of color to Kindle for the first time. It has everything customers love about Kindle today—high contrast, fast page turns, an auto-adjusting front light, and weeks of battery life—and adds color that is vibrant yet easy on the eyes. Now, you can browse covers in color in your Kindle Library or Store, see book photos and images in color, or add color highlights that you can easily search later.

Here are five things to try that can make your reading experience on Kindle Colorsoft even richer:

In Settings, you can change your device lock screen to show the book you’re currently reading while the Kindle Colorsoft is off or charging. You’ll be able to showcase what you’re reading while on the go, or admire a colorful cover on your bedside table.

Whether you’re reading nonfiction, romance, a thriller, or anything in between, you’re bound to come across a memorable quote or insight you’ll want to revisit. Now you can highlight text in yellow, pink, blue, or orange, and filter your highlights by color in your annotation notebook.

Kindle users love being able to customize their reading experience, whether that’s by changing their font size, brightness, or layout. For Kindle Colorsoft, we’re introducing a new setting that allows you to change the color style. Under Settings, choose between Standard or Vivid depending on the kind of content you’re reading, where you’re reading, or just to tailor the display to your comfort.

If you need to get close to the details of an image, just pinch and zoom on the screen of your Kindle Colorsoft. Try it out on a map in a travel guide or fantasy book.
