Amazon’s new Kindle family includes the first color Kindle
Amazon just announced four new Kindle e-readers. The Colorsoft Signature Edition is the first color Kindle, there’s a new Kindle Scribe note-taker, a faster version of its most popular Paperwhite, and a new entry-level Kindle.
The Spanish-language announcement with US pricing seems accidental as none of the links to the Amazon store currently work. Nevertheless, here’s what we know.
The Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition is “designed to offer a rich and paper-like color” for book covers and highlighted text. Images can be zoomed in “without worrying about pixelation” with both standard and vibrant color styles. It’s waterproof and features fast page turns, wireless charging, up to 8 weeks of battery, and new light guide with nitride LEDs. It’ll cost $279.99 and ship on October 30th.
The new Kindle Scribe is an e-reader and note-taker. The 300ppi screen has new white edges and is designed to feel like paper when writing on it when using Amazon’s Premium Pencil with new soft-tip eraser.
It also offers a “first-of-a-kind book writing experience” in addition to note-taking. Active Canvas lets you add notes directly to the pages of a book and the text flows around them. You’ll also be able to add notes in the side panel soon, which can be hidden later. The integrated notebook is infused with AI to summarize pages into concise points. Notes can also be made readable in preparation for export with a handwritten-style font.
The $399.99 Kindle Scribe will be ready for December 4th delivery with preorders starting today, according to the rogue announcement.
The Kindle Paperwhite is the “fastest kindle yet,” according to Amazon. The best-selling Kindle has a larger 7-inch screen, as rumored, allowing it to be thinner than previous generations while boasting a battery life of up to three months. It’s water resistant with 16GB of storage. Kindle Paperwhite “is now available” from $159.99. The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition is available for $199.99 with 32GB of storage and optional wireless charging and auto-adjusting front light.
The entry-level Kindle is also meant to be available today from $109.99 and weighs just 5.6 ounces. It offers a non-reflective 300ppi screen with faster page turns and 16GB of storage that can easily be held in one hand or slipped into a back pocket.
We’ll probably know more soon as details emerge, with links to actually buy or preorder the latest Kindles — so stay tuned.
