The Kindle Colorsoft e-reader is on sale for $225 as part of the Amazon Spring Sale. Thats a discount of 20 percent, as the typical price hovers at $280. This deal also comes with three months of Kindle Unlimited, which is a good way to rack up some quick reads. We loved the Colorsoft in our official review, calling it the "missing link in Amazons e-reader lineup." The reason is right in the name. This is the only Kindle with a color screen. The company led the e-reader space for 17 years before releasing a model that could display color. Amazon says it took so long because the technology just wasnt good enough to implement until recently. The end result? The colors do really pop. This is a great choice for those who primarily read full-color materials like comics and graphic novels. Theres a pinch-to-zoom feature to get closer to details and an auto-adjusting front light. Just like most modern Kindles, the pages turn fast and the lag is minimal. Its also waterproof, for reading poolside or in the bathtub. This model doesnt include lock screen ads by default, which is nice. The primary downside here is the cost. Its hard to recommend any e-reader for $280, even if it displays color. This is a premium product, however, so its easy to recommend it at $225.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/deals/the-kindle-colorsoft-is-20-percent-off-during-the-amazon-spring-sale-162409959.html?src=rss

Vampire Survivors studio Poncle is also among the list of developers with something to reveal.Not only that, Playstack, the publisher of a little game called Balatro, has something up its sleeve. "We had been saving our big announcement for a special showcase," Marta Matyjewicz, marketing manager at Playstack, said in a statement.

The Fast Company Impact Council is an invitation-only membership community of leaders, experts, executives, and entrepreneurs who share their insights with our audience. Members pay annual dues for access to peer learning, thought leadership opportunities, events and more.Taking the first step towards a new future for your organization can be a daunting effortbut for professional services organizations, the time is now. With70% of organizationsplanning to track office attendance in 2025, the corporate real estate landscape is primed for potential. Leaders must fully capitalize on the seismic shifts in the new standard of in-office work and use their spaces to enhance collaboration, productivity, and company purpose.As law firms, in particular, transition back to in-office work, they face the challenge of balancing privacy with collaborative spaces. While these needs seem at odds, a thoughtful approach that integrates flexibility and a strong workplace experience strategy can help firms create environments that attract and retain top talent.Organic interaction opportunitiesThe most transformative ideas often emerge far beyond the confines of a boardroom or the monotony of a desk. Instead, sparks of ingenuity can stem fromsharedmomentswith colleagues, like a quick chat in the hallway or a coffee break.These moments that happen in interstitial spaces tend to be afterthoughts. When utilized well, however, an interstitial space can be every bit as impactful as a breakroom or lounge.A global law firm with a two-floor office spaceis a perfect example. Thanks to an open design and interconnected staircase, team members can communicate quickly and easily with colleagues from other floors.As in-office work models continue to shift and evolve, leaders must prioritize creating dynamic spaces that foster these organic connections. Otherwise, businesses risk missing out on valuable interactions like knowledge sharing, mentorship, and peer-to-peer professional development. Organizations have plenty of options regardless of office footprint and team size.For instance, one of PDRs energyclients wanted to maximize its office potential and facilitate face-to-face interactions. We worked with them to create specific areas, such as green spaces and cafes, where team members could gather away from their desks. Best of all, the design provided these amenities while simultaneously reducing the footprint, ultimately saving the organization money. Providing these spaces solves for challenges like a lack of mentoring or knowledge sharing, while boosting peoples connection to an organizations purposetwo primary imperatives valued by new generations of leadership.Competitive advantages foremployee wellnessIn todays competitive job market, top talent has abundant options. This means transforming the office into a powerful amenity that offers unique valueone that attracts, engages, and retains the best employees.As noted in Wellhubs 2025State of Work-Life Wellness report, 88% of employees say that wellness-focused workspaces are crucial to their overall job satisfaction.In fact, firms with WELL-certified offices see higher levels of employee engagement, productivity, and retention.Looking to hospitality designis a strong way leaders can begin to rethink their approach to the workplace. A health-centric mindset is especially valuable for the legal profession, where long hours, intense focus, and strong mental and emotional resilience are essential. The industrys demands can contribute to stress and burnout, resulting in a high turnover rate.Design elements such as access to daylight or biophilic design have aproven effecton employee productivity and mood, minimizing stress while improving performance. A firms leaders must leverage these insights to create spaces that elevate the work experience and provide an undeniable draw to attract new talent andsustain the energy and motivation of those who already drive the firms success.Space utilizationWorkplace solutions must be tailored to an organizations culture and work styleswhat works for one industry may not suit another. A functional workspace must align with a companys purpose while maximizing efficiency. With high real estate costs and long-term leases posing risks, underutilized space can lead to significant financial waste.A structured visioning process helps organizations optimize their space. For example, one company balanced energy and focus by dedicating its second floor to quiet areas, meeting rooms, and breakout spaces, complementing its high-energy trade floor. Some law firms are repurposing law libraries into collaborative spaces as research shifts to digital, fostering knowledge sharing and mentorship. Transforming these spaces into meeting or common areas increases opportunities to interact while eliminating single-purpose inefficiencies.Organizations can create environments that support productivity, collaboration, and long-term business success by taking a strategic approach to space planning.Future-focus and flexibilityThe most impactful workplaces are agile and adaptable, ready to support an organizations mission today, tomorrow, and for years to come. But leaders must navigate and accommodate multiple needs and preferences from several generations. That is easier said than done, as ourglobal corporate law officeclient discovered. It was critical that every square foot for this firmwas used with intention and provided a competitive advantage. This client had the added challenge of fusing two teams and bringing them under the same roof. Modular planning helped them create a blend of personalized and collaborative work areas well-suited for the firms new hybrid work style.Another Band 1-ranked global law firm involved a similar challenge, as its team needed to balance internal meetings with client interactions in a limited space. To address this, the firms conference rooms were designed with adjustable walls, allowing them to expand the space for client meetings while maintaining privacy when needed.Flexibility was key to these projects success and will only become more vital. Adapting to ongoing shifts helps businesses attract top talent and strengthen their competitive edge.Its time to prioritize exceptional experiencesAs leaders look to the many opportunities ahead, its important to remember that peoples needs, workstyles, and preferences in the workplace will continue evolving. Ongoing discussions and a future-focused approach can ensure an organizations environment provides competitive advantages that match their peoples desires.Simply put, if organizations do not provide people with the types of experiences they crave, they risk missing out on the best and brightest talent. Or they invest capital in a physical workplace that fails to draw employees into their space. Yet with ample real estate opportunities, this is the perfect time to rethink workplace design.Lauri Goodman Lampson is president and CEO of PDR.

Walmart will be skipping eggs in its Easter meal offer this year, the U.S. retail giant said on Wednesday, in the midst of shortages and sky-high prices spiked by the bird flu outbreak among poultry.Walmarts Easter 2025 promotion features a meal kit with nine ingredients, including ham, russet potatoes, corn on the cob and a cream cake. It serves eight people for less than $6 per person an average price which was lower than what it offered last year, it said.Notably absent from this years kit, however, are eggs, which were a key part of last years offering. In 2024, the kit included ham, sweet potatoes, apple pie, and ingredients for deviled eggs. A promotional image showed a box with 18 large brown eggs and 14 other items. That kit served up to 10 people at an average cost of less than $8 per person, the retailer said.The items in the (2025) basket are based on some of the most popular Easter meal items. This year we did not include ingredients that are typically already found in ones pantry like salt, pepper, butter, milk and eggs, Tricia Moriarty, a Walmart spokesperson said in an email.A widespread outbreak of bird flu among egg-laying hens has led to record prices, created severe shortages of eggs on grocery shelves and forced retailers to set limits on purchases, prompting restaurants to increase menu prices as products become scarce.The U.S. is considering importing Brazilian and broiler chicken eggs for processed foods to ease the crunch and free up more fresh eggs for shoppers.Walmart, the nations largest grocer, has not placed any broad purchase limits on eggs in stores, even as the cost of eggs is dynamic and supply has been tight in places, Moriarty said.Currently, the only restrictions are on purchases of 60-count cartons to six units per purchase and online only, she added.Walmarts grocery revenue rose by mid-single digits in the quarter through January 31, the company said in February, which it noted was partly boosted by egg-price inflation.Siddharth Cavale, Reuters
