Amazon Scribe and Scribe Colorsoft launch date announced: New e-readers will finally be available soon
Amazon has officially announced the launch date for its highly anticipated Kindle Scribe and Kindle Scribe Colorsoft e-readers, set for December 10, 2025. This announcement came after the devices were first unveiled during Amazon’s Devices and Services event on September 30, 2025, where no specific purchase date was provided. The new e-readers promise to elevate the reading and note-taking experience, catering to the needs of avid readers and annotators alike. With prices starting at $499.99 for the Kindle Scribe and $629.99 for the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft, these devices are positioned as premium offerings in Amazon’s e-reader lineup.
Both the Kindle Scribe and Scribe Colorsoft feature an ultra-thin design, measuring just 5.4 millimeters in width and weighing only 400 grams, making them highly portable. A notable advancement is the introduction of a new chip that enhances performance by 40%, ensuring a smoother user experience. The devices boast an 11-inch display with texture-molded glass, simulating the feel of writing on paper with the included premium pen. The Scribe Colorsoft stands out with its color display, a significant upgrade that allows users to color-code notes and annotations, making it a game changer for those who rely on visual organization in their study or work processes. Additionally, both models will support integration with Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive, enhancing their functionality and making it easier to access and manage documents on the go.
While eager customers will need to wait until December 10 to make their purchases, the excitement surrounding these new e-readers is palpable. As the most expensive e-readers from Amazon to date, the Kindle Scribe and Scribe Colorsoft are designed for serious readers and professionals who demand high-quality features and performance.
