Kindle Scribe Now in Color and Smarter Than Ever

Amazon reimagines Kindle Scribe with a thinner, faster design, new color model, and AI productivity tools—plus features readers will love.

If you’ve been dreaming about a Kindle that’s as good for jotting ideas as it is for losing yourself in your favorite novel, Amazon’s latest announcement might just make your day. The all-new Kindle Scribe lineup is here, and it’s not just an upgrade... it’s a complete reimagining. Think thinner, lighter, faster, and now… in full color.

Meet the New Kindle Scribe Family

Amazon is rolling out three versions of its next-generation Scribe:

• Kindle Scribe (with front light)
• Kindle Scribe (without front light)
• Kindle Scribe Colorsoft — the first Kindle ever to offer a color writing experience.

So whether you’re a note-taker, a doodler, or an all-day reader, there’s something here for you.

Sleek, Paper-Like Design You’ll Love

Remember when tablets felt awkward for writing? That era’s over.

The redesigned Kindle Scribe is:

• Featherweight: just 400g.
• Slim: only 5.4mm thick to slip into your bag and barely adds bulk.
• Speedy: 40% faster for pen strokes and page turns.

Its 11-inch glare-free display mirrors the proportions of a real sheet of paper. Perfect for scribbling notes during meetings, marking up PDFs, or reviewing full-size documents.

And Amazon clearly obsessed over the details:

• Miniaturized LEDs for a front light that’s both even and space-saving.
• Texture-molded glass—goodbye slippery screen, hello natural pen friction.
• Rearchitected display stack that cuts parallax to virtually zero (it feels like your pen is on paper).
• Quad-core chip + more memory for snappy performance.

Kindle Scribe Colorsoft – Color Without the Eye Strain

This one’s the showstopper. Kindle Scribe Colorsoft brings a gentle, soft-hued writing surface thanks to Amazon’s custom-built technology:

• A color filter and light guide paired with nitride LEDs make colors pop without the harsh glare of traditional LCDs.
• A new rendering engine keeps writing silky smooth, whether you’re annotating a book or sketching ideas.
• Weeks-long battery life even with all the color magic.
• No distracting apps or notifications. Just you, your thoughts, and your work.

Productivity Tools That Feel Like Magic

Amazon isn’t just making hardware better, in fact, they’re supercharging the software too. Here’s what’s new:

• AI-Powered Notebook: Search notes naturally and get instant summaries. Need more detail? Follow-up questions are welcome.
• Quick Notes: Jot down ideas instantly from the home screen. No digging through menus.
• Cloud Sync: Import and export through Google Drive & Microsoft OneDrive.
• OneNote Integration: Send notes as text or images directly to OneNote.
• Alexa Connection: Send notes to Alexa (coming soon) and even discuss them.
• Creative Tools:
• 10 pen colors
• 5 highlighter colors
• Shading tool for smooth gradients (artists, rejoice!)
• Workspace: Keep books, documents, and notebooks organized in folders.

Reading Gets Smarter Too

Sure, it’s a productivity powerhouse... but it’s still a Kindle, so reading is central:

• Story So Far: Spoiler-free recap of your book (so you can take breaks without losing the plot).
• Ask This Book: Highlight any passage and ask questions about motives, symbolism, or scene significance... again, without spoilers.

These features will roll out to Kindle devices and the Kindle iOS app in the coming months.

Extras You Didn’t Know You Needed

• Every model comes with a magnetic pen that never needs charging.
• New folio covers in plant-based material, premium leather, or an executive notebook style. All  of them are designed to pair seamlessly with your Scribe.

Pricing & Availability

Here’s the breakdown:

• Kindle Scribe with front light: US$499.99
• Kindle Scribe Colorsoft: US$629.99
• Kindle Scribe without front light: US$429.99

Available in the U.S. later this year. UK and Germany fans, your turn comes early next year. About us Malaysians? 😂

Why This Update Matters

With this launch, Amazon isn’t just tweaking its e-reader... it’s positioning the Kindle Scribe as a true creative and productivity tool. It’s part digital notebook, part premium e-reader, and now, part color canvas.

So if you’ve been waiting for a device that merges reading, writing, and thinking without the distraction of endless apps... this is probably it. For more information, head over to Amazon's official website.
