The Kindle Colorsoft is getting a vibrant new replace

The Scribe information rolls out slowly however certainly: 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 properly over a month after the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft launched solely in Graphite on December 10, 2025.

Nonetheless, there’s a catch. The Fig colorway appears to be like prefer it’s solely obtainable for the 64GB Kindle Scribe Colorsoft, which is $50 dearer than the 32GB model — its extra primary Graphite counterpart. Whereas some customers will not thoughts paying the premium for a persona pop and additional storage, it is a little bit disappointing that the one vibrant choice sits behind a shade ‘cowl’ payment.

The Kindle Scribe Colorsoft

There is a new Fig on the town

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

The Kindle Scribe Colorsoft ditched the thick bezel on the facet of earlier Scribe generations in favor of a extra symmetrical 11-inch show with thinner bezels throughout. I am a giant fan of the dimensions, which feels rather more like a typical piece of paper. Illuminating the display screen is a brand new entrance gentle system of mini-LEDs that create a way more uniform look. Although the display screen would not look very like paper, the textured glass provides sufficient friction to nearly 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 possibly can 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 not like different applications, I truly use Amazon’s built-in AI. It is versatile, intuitive, and may also help me dig up scribbles I am unable to discover and even summarize my notes earlier than a serious assembly. It additionally provides (conveniently) Google Drive and OneDrive integration, which is a large step within the productiveness route for individuals leaping between gadgets.

Nonetheless, for those who return a era, you will get your fingers on a greenish, Metallic Jade Kindle Scribe. Nonetheless, the identical 64GB dilemma stands: to get the colour, you should select extra storage.
