Back in September Amazon unleashed a whole slate of new gear, from the latest Echo Dot Max and Show smart displays, through to the latest from its affordable Blink smart home brand, and some new Kindles. Among the headliners here were the all-new Kindle Scribe – Amazon’s second-generation reader-meets-tablet – and the new Kindle Scribe Colorsoft – the first Scribe model with a color display. Both are now up for purchase starting today for the first time.
We have already detailed what’s new with Amazon latest slate of Kindle Scribe machines as part of out initial launch coverage – you can scope that out right here and we will leave you with some highlights at a glance below:
- A new front light system with miniaturized LEDs that fit tightly against the display to create a narrower bezel and uniform lighting.
- A new texture-molded glass to improve the friction when the pen glides across the screen—unlike tablets that often feel slippery or glassy.
- A rearchitected display stack to shrink the parallax to virtually nothing, so it feels like writing directly on the page.
- A new quad-core chip, more memory, and our latest Oxide display technology to make everything feel snappier.
The new Kindle lineup consists of a few different models (not all of which are available starting today):
- All-new Kindle Scribe $500 – available now
- All-new Kindle Scribe Colorsoft $630 – available now
- All-new Kindle Scribe (w/0 front light) $430 – releases next year
Our new lineup offers a powerful AI-powered notebook and redesigned software and tools that help you be more productive.
- All-new Home: From our all-new Home, we’ve added Quick Notes so you can easily jot something down whenever inspiration strikes. You can also open recently opened and added books, documents, and notebooks.
- Access all your docs: With support for Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive, it’s easy to import documents for mark-up and export annotated PDFs.
- AI-powered search: Search your notes naturally across your notebooks and you’ll get simple AI summaries. You can also dig deeper with follow-up questions.
- Send to Alexa+: Early next year, you’ll be able to send your notes and documents from Kindle Scribe to Alexa+ and have a conversation about them.
- Share notebooks with OneNote: Export your notes as converted text or as an embedded image to OneNote so you can keep them all in one place and keep editing from your laptop.
- Color pens and highlights: Write, draw, and annotate in one of 10 pen colors or highlight in one of 5 highlighter colors.
- Shading: Artists and creators can create smooth gradients and subtle tones with our new shader tool, giving you even more control over the depth and richness of your art.
