Amazon Prime members can get free e-books monthly through First Reads program. Claim the free e-books using your browser, not the app, by selecting the "Read for Free" option. Choose from 10 options including Lee Child's short story Eleven Numbers or Angela Brown's Some Other Time.

The Amazon Kindle Colorsoft just got its first discount, but you'll need to be a Prime member to take advantage of the deal.

Kindle deals are rare outside of the major sales and events like Prime Day, so today's opportunity to save on one of Amazon's popular ereaders shouldn't be missed – especially when the deal applies to the latest Kindle Colorsoft. There's one problem, though. This offer is only available to Amazon Prime members.

The Amazon Kindle Colorsoft has received its first significant discount, but only if you are a Prime Member. The regular price in the United States is $279.99, but is now available for $229.99, a savings of $50.

As of Jan. 17, the Amazon Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition (32GB) is on sale for $229.99 for Amazon Prime members. This is 18% off its list price of $279.99. Revealed last October, the Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition is a sleek new e-reader that lets you enjoy all of your favorite novels and comics in color.

The Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition is Amazon's first and only color e-reader, released this winter. It has a seven-inch screen, an ad-free lock screen, a speedy performance, and a waterproof build.
