Key Takeaways
- Amazon introduces an all-new Kindle Scribe UK lineup, completely reimagined from the ground up for productivity.
- The first ever Kindle Scribe Colorsoft offers a colour writing experience that’s fast, fluid, and easy on the eyes.
- Our new AI powered notebook allows you to naturally search across notebooks and quickly get insights.
Today, as part of a wider Amazon devices event, we’re thrilled to reveal that three new devices are coming to the UK as part of our new Kindle Scribe lineup, reimagined for productivity: our next-generation Kindle Scribe, with and without a front light, and the first-ever colour Kindle Scribe.
Thinner, lighter, and faster with a new paper-like design
The new Kindle Scribe has a beautiful new design that’s just like paper – it’s ultra-thin at 5.4mm, ultra-light at 400g, and is 40% faster for writing and page turns. The larger 11-inch glare-free display mirrors the proportions of a piece of paper and feels just like you’re writing on one - it’s the perfect size for reviewing full-sized documents, feels natural for notetaking, and is easy to take with you wherever you go.
Our new lineup is packed with innovation:
- A new front light system with twice as many miniaturised LEDs that fit tightly against the display to create a narrower bezel and uniform lighting.
- A new texture-moulded glass that improves the friction when the pen glides across the screen – unlike tablets that often feel slippery or glassy.
- A rearchitected display stack to shrink the parallax to virtually nothing, so it feels like writing directly on the pages.
- A new quad-core chip, more memory, and our latest Oxide display technology to make everything feel snappier.
A fluid colour writing experience
Kindle Scribe Colorsoft features the same new design and provides a fluid colour writing experience. To create colours that are soft and don’t hurt your eyes like an LCD display, we used our custom-built Colorsoft display technology, which has a colour filter and light guide with nitride LEDs to enhance colour without washing out the details. To deliver an incredible colour writing experience, we developed a new rendering engine, which enhances the colour and ensures writing is fast, fluid, and totally natural.
Plus, Kindle Scribe Colorsoft offers weeks of battery life and doesn’t have any distracting apps or notifications to pull you away from your thoughts.
All new productivity features including an AI-powered notebook
Our new lineup offers a powerful AI-powered notebook and redesigned software and tools that help you be more productive.
- All-new home: From our all-new home, we’ve added Quick Notes so you can easily jot something down whenever inspiration strikes. You can also open recently opened and added books, documents, and notebooks.
- Access all your docs: With support for Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive, it’s easier to import documents for mark-up and export annotated PDFs.
- AI-powered search: Search your notes naturally across your notebooks and you’ll get simple AI summaries. You can also dig deeper with follow-up questions.
- Share notebooks with OneNote: Export your notes as converted text or as an embedded image to OneNote so you can keep all your notes in one place and keep editing from your laptop.
- Colour pens and highlights: Write, draw, and annotate in one of 10 pen colours or highlight in one of five highlighter colours.
- Shading: Artists and creators can create smooth gradients and subtle tones with our new shader tool, giving you even more control over the depth and richness of your art.
- Workspaces: Organise your documents, notebooks, books, and more in the same folder.
