The Kindle Colorsoft is getting a vibrant new replace

The Scribe information rolls out slowly however absolutely: Amazon announced (by way of banner) that the Fig colorway will hit the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft on January 28 at 6AM PST / 9AM EST. The discharge will come nicely over a month after the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft launched solely in Graphite on December 10, 2025.

Nonetheless, there’s a catch. The Fig colorway seems prefer it’s solely out there for the 64GB Kindle Scribe Colorsoft, which is $50 costlier than the 32GB model — its extra primary Graphite counterpart. Whereas some customers will not thoughts paying the premium for a character pop and further storage, it is a little bit disappointing that the one vibrant possibility sits behind a shade ‘cowl’ charge.

So what is the large deal concerning the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft? You’ll be able to learn my full review or take a look on the highlights beneath.

The Kindle Scribe Colorsoft

There is a new Fig on the town

In addition to a groovier chassis and an identical, beautiful stylus, there’s nothing new apart from an additional 32GB (64GB complete) to report concerning the colourful digital pocket book. I’ve spent over a month with the gadget — in Graphite — and may attest to the vibrancy of the palette, even with its restricted 10-color decisions.

The Kindle Scribe Colorsoft ditched the thick bezel on the aspect of earlier Scribe generations in favor of a extra symmetrical 11-inch show with thinner bezels throughout. I am a giant fan of the scale, which feels rather more like a regular piece of paper. Illuminating the display is a brand new entrance gentle system of mini-LEDs that create a way more uniform look. Although the display does not look very similar to paper, the textured glass provides sufficient friction to virtually trick the hand holding the stylus into feeling prefer it does.

The 5 writing utensils (pen, fountain pen, marker, pencil, and shader) are current, in addition to the highlighter instrument. You’ll be able to toggle between thickness choices like earlier Kindle Scribes, too. Software program-wise, the homepage hub is extremely intuitive and a design I hope Amazon brings to older Scribe generations by way of distant updates.

AI is outstanding within the Scribe Colorsoft, too. However in contrast to different applications, I truly use Amazon’s built-in AI. It is versatile, intuitive, and will help me dig up scribbles I am unable to discover and even summarize my notes earlier than a significant assembly. It additionally provides (conveniently) Google Drive and OneDrive integration, which is an enormous step within the productiveness route for folks leaping between gadgets.

As for the most recent grayscale Kindle Scribe, you may solely purchase the conventional mannequin with a white bezel and grey chassis. Nonetheless, if you happen to return a era, you may get your fingers on a greenish, Metallic Jade Kindle Scribe. Nonetheless, the identical 64GB dilemma stands: to get the colour, you will need to select extra storage.
