- Amazon’s next Generation Kindle Scribe comes in three models
- All of these can boast of an even thinner profile of 5.4 millimeters
- There is now a Colorsoft edition in an 11-inch size
Less than a year after renewing his Kindle lineup with the debut of Colorsoft and a new paperwhite, Amazon Kindle Scribe gives a proper, bigger update.
Just revealed on the company’s 30th September 2025 -Unit Event – the first major hardware exhibition window under Panos Panay – the new scripture lash introduces a leaner design, updated display technology and three different models, including one with full color.
At 5.4 millimeters thick and weighing 400 grams is the third generation of Kindle Scriber thinner than iPad Air, but slightly thicker than Apple’s latest iPad Pro with M4. The set-up includes an entry-level model without front light, the standard writing with front lighting and the brand new Kindle Scribe Colorsoft, which adds full color reading and writing features. Colorsoft also debuts in a new finish called FIG, a deep red-berry tone, while the others only come in graphite.
The refreshed scripture has a symmetrical framework around its 11-inch screen, making it more comfortable for both right and left-handed use. Amazon has also rebalanced the internal, so the device no longer feels top or side tongue.
The USB-C charging port stays on the bottom, while the premium pen is now fastened magnetically to the right with stronger magnets. The on / off button has moved to the same page -a change that was long requested by Kindle users.
Amazon achieved the leaner design by reworking the display. The anti-glare film has been removed in favor of structured glass, which the company says still delivers a paper-like writing feeling. From a short practical, writing with the premium pen on Kindle Scribe is still a smooth experience, but we will have to put all three of the scribes through their pace.
While the scripture, scripture with a front light and scribe Colorsoft can all boast of 11-inch screens, the differences in technology are below. The Endry-Level model has an 11-inch glare-free screen with 300 PPI resolution and 16 levels of grayscale.
The default model is an 11-inch paperwhite screen in the same resolution, but it adds a redesigned front light. The LEDs here have been shrunk down on the left side to fit into the thinner overall building, but Amazon actually doubled the number by using smaller-size individual LEDs for the front light.
Like the latest Kindle Paperwhite, all models now include Amazon’s Oxid Display technology for faster side turns and greater responsiveness, driven by a new quad-core processor.
However, the headline upgrade is Kindle Scripe Colorsoft. Amazon VP from Kindle, Kevin Keith, said the company thought it was time to bring color to written set up for the purpose of “color without compromise.” Essentially, the technique has obtained here with regard to the display coating and the LEDs below.
The 11-inch Colorsoft display uses nitrected LEDs and a custom light guide that reflects light on the pixel level, which prevents colors from appearing leached-this is quite similar to how the Standard Kindle Colorsoft works. It matches the monochrome solution of 300 PPI for gray scale and delivers 150 PPI to color.
A new rendering engine reduces flashing and maintains a smooth writing experience, whether in black and white or color. At the launch, Colorsoft supports ten colors, five highlighting settings and five brush types.
These tools can be found in an updated software experience arriving over this series of Kindle Writing Turks, and Amazon hopes to bring most, if not all, to the existing second generation of Kindle Scribe models. There are still lower and top beams for easy navigation, but the new organizational system, called “work areas”, has gained our interest.
Here you can group downloaded books, notes, PDFs and other documents in different folders. This can be useful for organizing content on your scripture for students, individuals who use it in the office and eager readers. Just as quickly with fooling a note with a gesture on an iPad, there is a new quick note functionality here that can instantly draw a page up for you to write on.
While there was already a “Send to Kindle” feature to transfer documents to the device, Kindle Scripe will soon integrate more seamlessly with Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive, enabling easy import of documents to signatures, redlining and annotations. You can even send them back to the respective service as a PDF document.
Even more useful is a smarter search feature that mixes LLM style intelligence with your stored documents. For example, say that you have noted in weekly one-on-them and you are preparing for a summary of the year. You can enter the search bar – or hand write a query with the pen and have it converted – something like “What were the most important points I traveled every week?” Or “What themes often came up?” The writing scans your notebooks, whether stored locally or in the cloud, and returns summarized results with sources. It’s the kind of tool that can prove to be really useful.
And what is new to what is new with the three new Kindle Writers – the United States will get Kindle Scribe and Kindle Scripe Colorsoft only later in 2025, and right now Amazon does not open prior, but you can mark your interest. These two models begin an international launch in 2026, and the basic Kindle Scribe without front lights will also debut in the US at the same time.
It is also safe to say that these new Kindle writers do not exactly come cheap – with the starting price in the US, which rises from $ 399.99 for the current 16 GB Kindle Writing Desire for $ 429.99 for 16 GB Kindle Scribe without front light – with the most expensive Kindle now starting at $ 699.99.
