Amid the numerous Kindle bundle listings that are on sale for Prime Big Deals Day, I noticed a new Kindle Colorsoft bundle that curiously isn’t on sale, and that’s probably because it hasn’t been released yet.
Amazon has a Limited-Edition Kindle Colorsoft The Summer I Turned Pretty Bundle available to pre-order for $319.99, and it’s getting released on October 28th. Who knows how “limited” the bundle is, but Amazon says only a “few units” are available.
The bundle includes the 16GB version of the Kindle Colorsoft, along with a custom cover and all 3 ebooks in the series.
The ebooks sell for $9.99 each so that comes to $29.97 for the collection. The 16GB Kindle Colorsoft sells for $249.99 normally when it’s not on sale, so that means the custom TSITP cover basically costs $40.
It’s kind of surprising Amazon doesn’t do more custom Kindle bundles for popular authors and series. They do have the Diary of a Wimpy Kid Bundle with the Kindle Paperwhite, but it doesn’t even come with any of the ebooks, just a subscription that provides limited access to the books.
They could just sell custom covers for popular series too, and plenty of people would be interested in that, especially if authors sold limited edition signed covers. There’s a market in there somewhere that hasn’t been cracked yet.
