Amazon announced new versions of the Kindle Scribe today including the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft featuring a larger version of the customized E Ink screen technology that Amazon uses in its color e-reader. The new Scribes feature a major redesign that does away with the asymmetrical chin on one side making the devices look sleeker and more like a tablet.
The Scribe was first introduced to Amazon’s Kindle lineup in 2022 with a 10.2-inch E Ink screen, a stylus, and new software features that made it both a big screen e-reader and a note-taking device. But for some users, its inability to directly annotate ebooks made it a frustrating solution when compared to other digital notepads. Two years later, Amazon released a new version of the Scribe. It was the same size as the original but featured a refreshed design and improved software that added functionality like converting handwritten notes to editable text, AI-generated document summaries, and the ability to add notes to ebook files that remained visible on the page.
