After dipping its toes with the Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition and the newer Kindle Colorsoft, Amazon has now introduced the color display feature to its biggest Kindle yet, the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft.
New Model Features
The Kindle Scribe Colorsoft is one of three fresh Kindle Scribe models unveiled during Amazon’s fall event in 2025. It boasts an 11-inch Colorsoft display that offers 300 ppi for Black and White and 150 ppi for color. The display includes adjustable warm lighting and is encased in an aluminum shell with consistent bezel thickness all around.
Specs and Design
Aside from the Colorsoft display, the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft shares the same specifications as the Kindle Scribe (3rd generation) with Front Light. This means it provides a realistic writing experience, maintaining its sleek and lightweight design, along with AI-powered software features. Additionally, it is equipped with a quad-core processor and has more memory compared to the first-generation Kindle Scribe.
Available Options
The Kindle Scribe Colorsoft comes in Graphite and Fig colors, with storage options of 32GB and 64GB. It includes a matching Premium Pen that does not need charging as it is battery-free. According to Amazon, users can select from 10 pen colors, 5 highlighters, and a shading tool for delicate gradients and overlays.
Security and Connectivity
The Kindle Scribe Colorsoft also features data encryption and allows users to set a PIN code to keep their notes safe from unwanted access. It’s designed to be tamper-resistant and has a sleep timer that turns off the display when not in use.
Battery Life and Pricing
The specifications indicate it supports dual-band Wi-Fi and has a USB-C port for connectivity. Amazon claims the battery life can last up to 8 weeks on a single charge, given 30 minutes of reading daily, Wi-Fi turned off, and brightness set at level 13. However, if you primarily use it for writing (30 minutes daily), the battery life drops to just 2 weeks. Fully charging it takes about 2.5 hours using a 20W USB-C adapter.
The starting price for the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft is $629.99 for the 32GB model, rising to $679.99 for the 64GB version. It is set to launch later this year and will compete against rivals like the reMarkable Paper Pro, which features a larger 11.8-inch color display and starts at $629. Another competitor is the BOOX Note Air4 C, available on Amazon for $529.99, which has a slightly smaller screen but boasts 64GB of storage and runs on Android.
