In a move that’s bound to excite book lovers everywhere, Amazon has just launched an entirely new lineup of Kindle devices—including the first colour Kindle. The all-new Kindle Colorsoft brings colour to Kindle without compromising the features users have come to love. From high-contrast displays to fast page turns and weeks of battery life, the first colour Kindle adds a vibrant yet easy-on-the-eyes experience that pulls you into the story.
The Kindle Colorsoft doesn’t just display colour; it does so meticulously. Using an oxide backplane with custom waveforms, it delivers fast performance and higher contrast on both colour and black-and-white content. Users can now browse colourful book covers, see images in vivid hues, and even add colour highlights that are easy to search for later. The device comes with wireless charging, up to eight weeks of battery life, and is waterproof—perfect for reading at the beach or in the bath without worry.

Not to be overshadowed, the reimagined Kindle Scribe combines the benefits of a Kindle with a powerful note-taking device. Its paper-like display with new white borders and smooth texture makes it feel like you’re writing on an actual sheet of paper. The premium pen is finely crafted for balance and even features a soft-tipped eraser that feels like a pencil—you might find yourself instinctively brushing off imaginary eraser shavings. The Kindle Scribe features new experiences for in-book writing and note-taking, including an AI-powered notebook that can summarize pages of notes into concise bullets.
For those who prioritize speed, the all-new Kindle Paperwhite is the fastest Kindle yet. It features 25% faster page turns and an oxide thin-film transistor that provides the highest contrast ratio of any Kindle. Text and images pop off the larger 7-inch display, and with up to three months of battery life, it’s designed for the long haul. The Kindle Paperwhite’s faster performance makes scrolling through your library a breeze, and it comes in eye-catching colours like Raspberry and Jade.
Even the entry-level Kindle gets a fun upgrade with a new Matcha colour Kindle option. Weighing just 158 grams, it’s small enough to fit in your hand or back pocket but packed with premium features like a 300 ppi glare-free display, faster page turns, and brighter front light. It’s the ideal device for reading anywhere the day takes you.
For younger readers, Amazon continues to offer Kindle Kids edition devices with fun cover designs and access to thousands of age-appropriate books and audiobooks through Amazon Kids+. The new Kindle Paperwhite Kids even features covers designed by Jeff Kinney, author of the international best-selling “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” series.
All Kindle devices come with a three-month Kindle Unlimited subscription, providing access to an extensive library of digital books, audiobooks, comics, and magazines. From mystery and romance to non-fiction and memoirs, there’s something for every reader.

Whether these new features will redefine the reading experience or simply add more options for consumers remains to be seen, but they certainly make the Kindle lineup more compelling than ever.
