Overview

• Amazon introduced three redesigned Scribes: an 11-inch model with front light starting at $499.99 later this year, a $629.99 Colorsoft version later this year, and a $429.99 non‑lit model arriving early next year in the U.S.
• The devices are 5.4mm thick and 400g, with a new texture‑molded glass, narrower bezels, a quad‑core chip, more memory, and a claimed 40% speed boost for writing and page turns.
• Colorsoft enables writing, drawing, and highlights in multiple colors with new shading tools, though hands‑on reports describe a muted palette versus tablet screens.
• Software updates add Quick Notes on a new Home screen, AI summaries and search across notebooks, OneDrive and Google Drive access, OneNote export, and a planned Send‑to‑Alexa+ feature next year.
• A new magnetically attaching Premium Pen is bundled and never needs charging, while the prior‑generation Scribe is discounted to about $300 with additional bundle deals ahead of Prime Day.
