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 extensively anticipated to launch a number of new merchandise, together with new Echo good audio system, Fire TV devices, and most enjoyable of all, presumably 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 exhibits a Kindle gadget with an individual studying below a tree on the display screen, and it is in coloration, hinting that the mannequin may have a coloration E Ink show. You may try the picture under.

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 Shade 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 Shade would not appear too far-fetched.

What might the Kindle Scribe Shade seem like?

If Amazon broadcasts a Kindle Scribe Shade at its fall {hardware} occasion on September 30, in accordance with Good E Reader, it’ll largely resemble the second-generation Kindle Scribe that Amazon launched final yr, with a few variations to assist differentiate it, corresponding to being provided in a special 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 dimension. 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 Shade, it may very well be considerably higher for studying comics, graphic novels, journey guides, magazines, and extra as a consequence of its bigger display screen. The Kindle Colorsoft has a 7.2-inch display screen, which is not unhealthy, however I imagine 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, due to the splash of coloration a Kindle Scribe Shade would offer.

Amazon releasing a Kindle Scribe Shade 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 Shade that undercuts each of those, it might appeal to a number of consideration. Good E Reader believes Amazon might value the Kindle Scribe Shade a bit increased 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 Shade falling within the $400-500 value vary.

Moreover a brand new Kindle Shade Scribe doubtlessly 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 Shade is more likely to look, and a 6-inch coloration Kindle is an enormous 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’ll announce a refresh of its primary Kindle or the Kindle Paperwhite at this occasion as nicely. The final Kindle gadget 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. Not less than there is not a lot time left to attend, as Amazon’s occasion is on September 30.
