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 big is broadly anticipated to launch a number of new merchandise, together with new Echo sensible 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 may very well be a brand new Kindle within the backside proper nook. The picture reveals a Kindle machine with an individual studying beneath a tree on the display screen, and it is in coloration, hinting that the mannequin could have a coloration E Ink show. You possibly can take a look at the picture under.

After all, the burning query is, what sort of coloration Kindle might Amazon be releasing? Based on Good E Reader, which cites the beliefs of “trade insiders,” Amazon is prone to announce the Kindle Scribe Coloration at its occasion on September 30.

Amazon launched its second-generation Kindle Scribe final 12 months, its premium note-taking pill, and given the elevated competitors within the house from firms like Boox and Outstanding, a brand new Kindle Scribe Coloration would not appear too far-fetched.

What might the Kindle Scribe Coloration seem like?

It’d share many similarities with the most recent Kindle Scribe

If Amazon publicizes a Kindle Scribe Coloration at its fall {hardware} occasion on September 30, in response to Good E Reader, it can largely resemble the second-generation Kindle Scribe that Amazon launched final 12 months, with a few variations to assist differentiate it, reminiscent of being provided in a distinct coloration. The Kindle Scribe is presently obtainable in tungsten and metallic jade.

Spec-wise, it is anticipated to characteristic 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 identical because the Kindle Colorsoft.

If Amazon releases a Kindle Scribe Coloration, it may very well be considerably higher for studying comics, graphic novels, journey guides, magazines, and extra attributable to its bigger display screen. The Kindle Colorsoft has a 7.2-inch display screen, which is not unhealthy, 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, because of the splash of coloration a Kindle Scribe Coloration would offer.

Amazon releasing a Kindle Scribe Coloration in two weeks does make a variety of sense to me. There’s rising competitors within the premium pocket book house. 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 entice a variety of consideration. Good E Reader believes Amazon might worth the Kindle Scribe Coloration a bit greater than the Kindle Scribe, however not by a large margin. Amazon presently 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.

In addition to a brand new Kindle Coloration Scribe probably approaching September 30, it is also rumored that Amazon may very well be releasing a 6-inch coloration Kindle. A mysterious color Kindle model did leak final month, however 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 an enormous if, however not out of the query.

The final time Amazon up to date its complete Kindle lineup was in October 2024, so I am curious to see if it can announce a refresh of its fundamental Kindle or the Kindle Paperwhite at this occasion as properly. 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. At the very least there is not a lot time left to attend, as Amazon’s occasion is on September 30.
