Amazon has introduced its refreshed Kindle lineup of e-book readers, which also includes one of its first coloured e-ink displays called Colorsoft Signature Edition. It boasts of a week-long battery life. While the Kindle, Kindle Paperwhite, and Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition will go on sale on October 30, the Kindle Scribe will start shipping from December 4.
“Customers continue to love Kindle, and are reading on their devices more than ever—sales last year hit a decade high with the majority of purchases going to first time Kindle device owners,” said Kevin Keith, vice president of Amazon Devices. “We are excited to bring our customers a completely new Kindle lineup, including our first color Kindle and a re-imagined Kindle Scribe with even better in-book writing experiences and a more powerful notebook with generative AI built-in.”
Weighing in at just 158g, the new entry-level Kindle is small enough to fit in hand or carry in the back pocket—and it’s packed with premium Kindle features. It has a 300ppi, glare-free display, now with faster page turns, higher contrast ratio, and a front light that is 25% brighter at max setting—as bright as Kindle Paperwhite. It comes in a fun and fresh new Matcha color, offers weeks of battery life from a single charge, and has 16 GB of storage for holding thousands of books.
Kindle Paperwhite is waterproof with 16 GB of storage for thousands of books, and comes in Raspberry, Jade, and Black. Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, which comes with 32 GB of storage, optional wireless charging, and auto-adjusting front light, comes in Metallic Raspberry, Metallic Jade, and Metallic Black.
The all-new Kindle Colorsoft brings color to Kindle without compromise. It has everything customers love about Kindle today—high contrast, fast page turns, an auto-adjusting front light, and weeks of battery life, and adds color that is vibrant yet easy on the eyes.
The all-new Kindle Scribe, on the other hand, combines all the benefits of Kindle with a powerful note taking device. The display has new white borders and a smooth, paper-like texture that make it look and feel like you’re writing on a sheet of paper in a notebook. Plus, at 300 ppi text looks crisp and clear when you’re writing or reading.
