For years, Kindle users have been asking Amazon for a color version of their e-reader, and the company has finally listened, introducing the Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition. Colorsoft is based on E-Ink technology but uses an entirely new display stack designed for Kindle. The screen features a newly designed oxide back panel that allows tiny ink particles to move quickly, enabling faster page refreshes.
The water-resistant Kindle Colorsoft supports wireless charging and offers up to 8 weeks of battery life. It also features a new LED light guide. The device will be available on October 30 for $280.

The new Kindle Scribe is not just an e-reader but also a digital notebook. Paired with Amazon’s Premium Pencil, the 300 ppi display is designed to simulate the experience of writing on paper. The pencil includes a soft-tipped eraser feature.
Kindle Scribe offers not just note-taking but also a book-writing experience. Its Active Canvas feature allows users to add notes directly to book pages. With an integrated AI-powered notebook, pages can be summarized for faster, more efficient note-taking.
Priced at $400, Kindle Scribe will be available on December 4, with pre-orders starting today.

Amazon also introduced the Signature Edition of Paperwhite, priced at $200. This model comes with double the storage (32 GB), wireless charging, and auto-adjusting front light.

The entry-level Kindle has been updated with a new dark mode, 25% brighter backlight, and improved contrast. Amazon states that while page turns are faster, it’s still noticeably slower than the Paperwhite. The new model offers up to 8 weeks of battery life on a single charge and comes in a new green color option. It features the same 6-inch 300 ppi display, 16 GB of storage, and USB-C support, priced at $110.
