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. First unveiled during the Amazon Devices and Services event on September 30, these new devices promise to elevate the e-reading experience with innovative features and cutting-edge technology. The Kindle Scribe, priced starting at $499.99, and the more advanced Scribe Colorsoft, which begins at $629.99, are designed for both avid readers and those who enjoy taking notes or annotating texts.
One of the standout features of the Scribe Colorsoft is its color display, a significant upgrade that allows users to color-code their notes and annotations, making it easier to organize thoughts and ideas visually. Both devices come equipped with an 11-inch display made of texture-molded glass, which simulates the feel of writing on paper when using the included premium pen. The new models are also impressively thin and lightweight, measuring just 5.4 millimeters in width and weighing only 400 grams, making them portable and easy to handle. Additionally, they are powered by a new chip that enhances performance by 40%, ensuring a smooth and responsive user experience. Each device will be available in 32GB and 64GB storage options, catering to various user needs.
Incorporating modern productivity tools, the Kindle Scribe and Scribe Colorsoft feature integration with popular cloud services like Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive, allowing users to sync and access their documents seamlessly. Despite the excitement surrounding these new e-readers, it’s important to note that they will not be available for pre-order, meaning interested buyers will need to mark their calendars for the official release date. With their premium pricing, the Kindle Scribe series represents Amazon’s commitment to delivering high-quality devices that meet the evolving needs of readers and note-takers alike. As the launch date approaches, many are eagerly anticipating the opportunity to experience these innovative e-readers firsthand.
