Amazon secretly unveiled a total of four new Kindles, with the most notable addition being the Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition – the brand’s first e-reader with an e-ink color display.
It’s joined by the second generation of Amazon Scribe, which offers several new AI features, as well as new Paperwhite and entry-level Kindle models.
Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition
Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition features a new light guide with nitride LEDs that Amazon claims will deliver paper-like colors with high contrast. This is great for reading comics, looking at photos, and highlighting words with different colors.
The new device is also waterproof and offers up to eight (8!) weeks of battery life and wireless charging. The price is set at $279.99 with shipments starting October 30th.
Kindle Writer (2024)
Kindle Scribe (2024) has a 10.2-inch screen with 300ppi and new AI features. These include the ability to summarize text into bullet points and convert handwritten notes to text.
The new Kindle Scribe gets an Active Canvas that retains book notes when you change the layout or font size. Amazon is now introducing its Premium Pen stylus with a soft tip. The price is set at $399.99 with shipments starting December 4.
Kindle Paperwhite (2024)
Kindle Paperwhite gets a 7-inch e-ink panel with a new oxide thin-film transistor that offers an improved contrast ratio for sharper text. Amazon’s best-selling e-reader also gets 25% faster page turns and is completely waterproof.
Prices start at $159.99 for the standard edition with 16GB of storage and goes up to $199.99 for the Signature Edition with 32GB of storage and wireless charging.
Kindle (2024)
