Amazon launches a series of new Kindles

Kindle ColorSoft Signature Edition

As mentioned above, the Kindle ColorSoft Signature Edition is Amazon’s first color e-ink display. It’s aimed at people who like to read comics, view photos, or use color-coded highlights. The new display uses nitride LED light guides, which Amazon claims provides a paper-like reading experience with better contrast and vibrant colors.

This premium e-reader is also waterproof, making it suitable for a variety of environments, and comes with a battery that can last up to eight weeks on a single charge. It also supports wireless charging, which further increases its convenience. Priced at $279.99, the Kindle ColorSoft Signature Edition is scheduled to begin shipping on October 30.

Kindle Scribe (2024)

The second generation Kindle Scribe brings several new features, including a 10.2-inch display with 300ppi resolution. The highlight of this model is the integration of AI-powered tools, like the ability to summarize text into bullet points and the option to convert handwritten notes to typed text, making it a versatile tool for professionals and students.

One of the major improvements is Active Canvas, which ensures that book notes remain intact even when you adjust the font size or change the layout. The device also comes with Amazon’s premium pen stylus, which has a softer tip for a more natural writing experience. The Kindle Scribe is priced at $399.99.

Kindle Paperwhite

The new Kindle Paperwhite gets a series of upgrades, starting with a new 7-inch E-Ink display enhanced by oxide thin-film transistors. According to the company, this improves text clarity and contrast. Page turns are now 25 percent faster. Like its predecessors, the new Paperwhite is completely waterproof, which retains its appeal for readers who like to take their e-readers outside or by the pool.

The Standard Edition starts at $159.99 with 16GB of storage, while the Signature Edition comes with 32GB and wireless charging, priced at $199.99.
