Today, Amazon has announced a complete redesign of its Kindle Scribe lineup, reimagined to enhance productivity and user experience. The new lineup includes the next-generation Kindle Scribe, the Kindle Scribe without a front light, and the groundbreaking first-ever color Kindle Scribe, the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft.
The all-new Kindle Scribe lineup is designed to be ultra-thin at 5.4mm and ultra-light at 400g, making it 40% faster for writing and page turns. The 11-inch glare-free display mirrors the proportions of a sheet of paper, providing a natural and intuitive notetaking experience. This makes it perfect for reviewing full-sized documents and taking notes on the go.
Among the innovative features of the new Kindle Scribe lineup are:
- A new front light system with miniaturized LEDs that create a narrower bezel and uniform lighting.
- A texture-molded glass that improves the friction when the pen glides across the screen, offering a more natural writing feel.
- A rearchitected display stack that minimizes parallax, making it feel like writing directly on the page.
- A new quad-core chip, increased memory, and the latest Oxide display technology for a smoother and faster user experience.
The Kindle Scribe Colorsoft introduces a color writing experience that is easy on the eyes. Using custom-built Colorsoft display technology, Amazon has created colors that are soft and comfortable, unlike the harshness of LCD displays. The new rendering engine ensures that writing is fast, fluid, and natural, making it an excellent choice for artists and creators.
Additionally, the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft offers weeks of battery life and a distraction-free environment, free from notifications and apps that might disrupt your workflow.
To further enhance productivity, the new Kindle Scribe lineup includes several AI-powered features and tools:
- All-new Home : The new Home screen includes Quick Notes for jotting down ideas, easy access to recently opened books, documents, and notebooks.
- Access all your docs : Support for Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive makes it simple to import and mark up documents, and export annotated PDFs.
- AI-powered search : Search your notes naturally across notebooks and get AI summaries. You can also ask follow-up questions for deeper insights.
- Send to Alexa+ : Early next year, you’ll be able to send your notes and documents to Alexa+ for a conversational experience.
- Share notebooks with OneNote : Export notes as converted text or embedded images to OneNote for seamless integration with your existing workflow.
- Color pens and highlights : Write, draw, and annotate in one of 10 pen colors or highlight in one of 5 highlighter colors.
- Shading : Create smooth gradients and subtle tones with the new shader tool, giving artists more control over their work.
- Workspace : Organize your documents, notebooks, books, and more in a single folder.
The new Kindle Scribe devices also come with a 3-month subscription to Kindle Unlimited, providing access to the world's best e-book store. Additionally, Amazon has introduced new AI-powered reading features to enhance the Kindle experience:
- Story So Far : Catch up on the book you’re reading without spoilers.
- Ask this Book : Highlight any passage of text and get spoiler-free answers to questions about characters or scenes.
These features will be available for thousands of Kindle books in the U.S. and can be accessed on the Kindle iOS app later this year and on Kindle devices early next year.
All Kindle Scribe devices come with a new pen that feels great in your hands, attaches seamlessly to the device, and never needs to be charged. Amazon is also introducing a range of new folio covers, including plant-based and premium leather options, and an all-new executive notebook-style folio.
The new Kindle Scribe lineup will be available in the U.S. later this year, with the Kindle Scribe starting at $499.99, the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft at $629.99, and the Kindle Scribe without a front light at $429.99, available early next year.
