Amazon could also be increasing its coloration Kindle lineup simply in time for the vacations

In two weeks, Amazon will host its fall hardware event on September 30, the place the e-commerce large is broadly anticipated to launch a number of new merchandise, together with new Echo good audio system, Fire TV devices, and most fun of all, probably new Kindles.

Amazon included a small teaser picture within the media invitation for the occasion, revealing a glimpse of what could possibly be a brand new Kindle within the backside proper nook. The picture reveals a Kindle machine with an individual studying below a tree on the display, and it is in coloration, hinting that the mannequin may have a coloration E Ink show. You’ll be able to take a look at the picture under.

In fact, the burning query is, what sort of coloration Kindle might Amazon be releasing? In line with Good E Reader, which cites the beliefs of “trade insiders,” Amazon is more likely to announce the Kindle Scribe Coloration at its occasion on September 30.

Amazon launched its second-generation Kindle Scribe final yr, its premium note-taking pill, and given the elevated competitors within the area from corporations like Boox and Outstanding, a brand new Kindle Scribe Coloration would not appear too far-fetched.

What might the Kindle Scribe Coloration appear like?

It would share many similarities with the newest Kindle Scribe

If Amazon proclaims a Kindle Scribe Coloration at its fall {hardware} occasion on September 30, based on Good E Reader, it’s going to largely resemble the second-generation Kindle Scribe that Amazon launched final yr, with a few variations to assist differentiate it, resembling being supplied in a unique coloration. The Kindle Scribe is at present out there in tungsten and metallic jade.

Spec-wise, it is anticipated to function a ten.2-inch glare-free coloration show, matching the second-generation Kindle Scribe in measurement. It is also anticipated to have a black-and-white pixel decision of 1860 x 2480 with 300 PPI (pixels per inch), and a coloration decision of 150 PPI, which is similar because the Kindle Colorsoft.

If Amazon releases a Kindle Scribe Coloration, it could possibly be considerably higher for studying comics, graphic novels, journey guides, magazines, and extra attributable to its bigger display. The Kindle Colorsoft has a 7.2-inch display, which is not dangerous, however I consider comedian books and magazines could be a lot simpler to learn on a ten.2-inch coloration show. Even textbooks and PDFs will look a lot better than on the present Kindle Scribe, due to the splash of coloration a Kindle Scribe Coloration would supply.

Amazon releasing a Kindle Scribe Coloration in two weeks does make a number of sense to me. There’s rising competitors within the premium pocket book area. Boox has the Note Air4 C in addition to the Tab X C, and Outstanding has the Remarkable Paper Pro and its newest Paper Professional Transfer. If Amazon launched a Kindle Scribe Coloration that undercuts each of those, it might appeal to a number of consideration. Good E Reader believes Amazon might worth the Kindle Scribe Coloration a bit larger than the Kindle Scribe, however not by a large margin. Amazon at present sells the second-generation Kindle Scribe with 16GB of storage for $400, so I might see a Kindle Scribe Coloration falling within the $400-500 worth vary.

Moreover a brand new Kindle Coloration Scribe doubtlessly approaching September 30, it is also rumored that Amazon could possibly be releasing a 6-inch coloration Kindle. A mysterious color Kindle model did leak final month, nevertheless it’s unclear whether or not that was legit or not. It appears the Kindle Scribe Coloration is more likely to seem, and a 6-inch coloration Kindle is a giant if, however not out of the query.

The final time Amazon up to date its whole Kindle lineup was in October 2024, so I am curious to see if it’s going to announce a refresh of its fundamental Kindle or the Kindle Paperwhite at this occasion as effectively. The final Kindle machine Amazon launched was a more affordable Kindle Colorsoft in July. Moreover, as somebody who makes use of a Fire TV Stick 4K Max, I am very curious to see if Amazon will refresh that too. A minimum of there is not a lot time left to attend, as Amazon’s occasion is on September 30.
