Amazon has just released an entirely new lineup of Kindle devices.
A reimagined Kindle Scribe, the fastest Kindle Paperwhite ever, a new entry Kindle in a fun, new Matcha colour, and the first-ever colour Kindle, coming in 2025.
“With summer just around the corner we know reading will be at all-time high, and our new Kindle lineup has something for everyone, no matter your reading style,” said Patrick Walker, Amazon Devices Country Manager, Australia and New Zealand. “We obsessed over every detail to deliver the best possible experience, and we know Kiwis will be excited by new features such as 25% faster page turns on the Kindle Paperwhite, a more dynamic and intuitive writing experience on the Kindle Scribe, and fun new colours across the range.”
Since its debut in 2012, customers have made Kindle Paperwhite their best-selling Kindle and the all-new Kindle Paperwhite is the fastest yet. Scrolling through your Kindle Library or Store is snappy and responsive, with 25% faster page turns. The display uses an oxide thin film transistor which gives it the highest contrast ratio of any Kindle Paperwhite, so text and images pop off the screen. A larger, seven-inch display is a first for Kindle Paperwhite, and yet it is also the thinnest Paperwhite ever with up to three months of battery life.
Kindle Paperwhite is waterproof with 16GB of storage for thousands of books, and comes in Black. Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, which comes with 32GB of storage, optional wireless charging, and auto-adjusting front light, is available in Metallic Jade and Metallic Black. Metallic Jade is only available online at Amazon.
Weighing in at just 158g, the new entry-level Kindle is small enough to fit in your hand or carry in your back pocket, and it’s packed with premium Kindle features. It has a 300ppi, glare-free display, now with faster page turns, higher contrast ratio, and a front light that is 25% brighter at max setting, as bright as Kindle Paperwhite.
It comes in black and a fun and fresh new Matcha colour, offers weeks of battery life from a single charge, and has 16GB of storage for holding thousands of books, all of which make it the ideal device for reading anywhere the day takes you.
The all-new Kindle Scribe combines all the benefits of Kindle with an innovative notetaking device. The 10.2 inch display has new uniform white borders and the screen has a smooth, paper-like texture that makes it look and feel like you’re writing on a sheet of paper. Plus, at 300ppi text looks crisp and clear when you’re writing or reading. The Premium Pen is finely crafted to deliver just the right heft and balance, so it feels like holding an actual pen, and the new soft-tipped eraser feels like a pencil.
The new Kindle Scribe offers a first-of-its-kind in-book writing experience. With Active Canvas, you can write your thoughts directly in the book when inspiration strikes. Your note becomes part of the page and the book text dynamically flows around it, if you increase the font size, change the font style, or the book layout changes, the note remains visible exactly where you want it so you never lose any meaning or context.
Pre-orders for the all-new Kindle Scribe start today, which comes in Tungsten and Metallic Jade colours. Devices will begin shipping from December 5th 2024, and Metallic Jade is only available online at Amazon.
The all-new Kindle Colorsoft brings colour to Kindle without compromise. It has everything customers love about Kindle today , with high contrast, fast page turns, an auto-adjusting front-light, and weeks of battery life. It adds colour that is vibrant yet easy on the eyes. Now you can browse covers in colour in your Kindle Library or Store; see book photos and images in colour; or add colour highlights that you can easily search later.
Everything about Kindle Colorsoft was meticulously designed to deliver rich, paper-like colour. It uses an oxide backplane with custom waveforms for fast performance and a higher contrast on both colour and black-and-white content. Its custom Colorsoft display includes a new light-guide with nitride LEDs that, when combined with our custom algorithms, enhances colour and increases brightness, all without washing details. You can zoom in on images without worrying about pixelating and you can choose between standard or vibrant colour styles. Kindle Colorsoft comes with wireless charging, up to 8 weeks of battery life, and is waterproof so you can bring it with you in the bath or take it to the beach without having to worry.
Kindle Colorsoft releases in 2025.
A number of new accessories are launching to accompany the new Kindle line-up, including a new Matcha fabric cover for the Kindle, and new fabric, plant-based leather and premium leather covers in a variety of colours for the new Kindle Paperwhite, Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition and all-new Kindle Scribe.
