Amazon’s New Kindle Scribe Devices Hit Shelves December 10
Amazon has announced the release date for its latest Kindle Scribe devices. The refreshed Kindle Scribe (2025) and the new Kindle Scribe Colorsoft will be available for purchase starting December 10, with no pre‑orders offered.
Standard Scribe Model
The new standard Scribe model features an 11‑inch screen, a thinner design, and a faster quad‑core processor. It comes in two versions:
- Front‑light model – $499.99, available on December 10.
- Non‑front‑light model – $429.99, shipping early next year.
Kindle Scribe Colorsoft
The premium Kindle Scribe Colorsoft introduces color note‑taking to the platform and is priced at $629.99.
Software, AI Features & Integrations
The new software supports 10 ink colors, artistic shading tools, and integration with Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive. AI capabilities let users summarize notes and ask questions about the books they’re reading. In 2025, Amazon plans to launch Alexa+, enabling voice interaction with the digital notebook. Features like “Story So Far” provide spoiler‑free recaps of books, positioning the Kindle as a smart reading companion.
Market Position
This release marks Amazon’s push into the productivity market, positioning the Kindle Scribe as a competitor to devices like the reMarkable tablet, Boox devices, and even the iPad.
Conclusion
The big question is whether users will embrace these new features on their e‑readers or if the Scribe will create a new niche for itself.
