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 extensively anticipated to launch a number of new merchandise, together with new Echo sensible audio system, Fire TV devices, and most fun of all, presumably 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 exhibits a Kindle system with an individual studying beneath 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 beneath.

After all, the burning query is, what sort of coloration Kindle might Amazon be releasing? In accordance with 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 area from firms like Boox and Exceptional, a brand new Kindle Scribe Coloration does not appear too far-fetched.

What might the Kindle Scribe Coloration seem like?

It would share many similarities with the most recent Kindle Scribe

If Amazon broadcasts a Kindle Scribe Coloration at its fall {hardware} occasion on September 30, in line with Good E Reader, it should largely resemble the second-generation Kindle Scribe that Amazon launched final 12 months, with a few variations to assist differentiate it, resembling being provided in a special coloration. The Kindle Scribe is presently accessible 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 as a consequence of its bigger display. The Kindle Colorsoft has a 7.2-inch display, which is not dangerous, however I consider comedian books and magazines can 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 number of sense to me. There may be rising competitors within the premium pocket book area. Boox has the Note Air4 C in addition to the Tab X C, and Exceptional 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 number of consideration. Good E Reader believes Amazon might value 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 value vary.

In addition to 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, however it’s unclear whether or not that was legit or not. It appears the Kindle Scribe Coloration is more likely to look, and a 6-inch coloration Kindle is a giant if, however not out of the query.

The final time Amazon up to date its total Kindle lineup was in October 2024, so I am curious to see if it should announce a refresh of its fundamental Kindle or the Kindle Paperwhite at this occasion as nicely. The final Kindle system 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.
