Overview

• Amazon introduced three 11‑inch Scribes, including the first color‑capable Kindle Scribe Colorsoft alongside a refreshed standard model and a no‑front‑light version.
• The new chassis is 5.4mm thick and 400 g, with a quad‑core chip, more memory, and Amazon‑stated gains of about 40% in writing and page‑turn speed plus sub‑12 ms pen latency.
• Colorsoft supports 10 pen colors, five highlighter shades, and a new shading tool on a softer Colorsoft display, with coverage noting 300 ppi for monochrome and about 150 ppi for color.
• AI features include notebook search with summaries, “Story So Far” and “Ask This Book,” cloud access to Google Drive and OneDrive, export to OneNote, and planned Alexa+ note conversations next year.
• U.S. pricing starts at $499.99 for Scribe, $629.99 for Colorsoft, and $429.99 without a front light, with U.S. availability later in 2025 and UK/Germany early 2026, and early reviews flag steep pricing versus rivals.
