Amazon could also be increasing its shade 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 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 might be a brand new Kindle within the backside proper nook. The picture reveals a Kindle gadget with an individual studying beneath a tree on the display screen, and it is in shade, hinting that the mannequin may have a shade E Ink show. You may take a look at the picture under.

In fact, the burning query is, what sort of shade Kindle may Amazon be releasing? Based on Good E Reader, which cites the beliefs of “trade insiders,” Amazon is more likely to announce the Kindle Scribe Colour 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 Colour does not appear too far-fetched.

What may the Kindle Scribe Colour appear to be?

It would share many similarities with the most recent Kindle Scribe

If Amazon declares a Kindle Scribe Colour at its fall {hardware} occasion on September 30, in keeping 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, equivalent to being supplied in a unique shade. The Kindle Scribe is at the moment out there in tungsten and metallic jade.

Spec-wise, it is anticipated to function a ten.2-inch glare-free shade 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 shade decision of 150 PPI, which is identical because the Kindle Colorsoft.

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

Amazon releasing a Kindle Scribe Colour in two weeks does make quite a lot 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 Colour that undercuts each of those, it may appeal to quite a lot of consideration. Good E Reader believes Amazon may value the Kindle Scribe Colour a bit larger than the Kindle Scribe, however not by a large margin. Amazon at the moment sells the second-generation Kindle Scribe with 16GB of storage for $400, so I may see a Kindle Scribe Colour falling within the $400-500 value vary.

Moreover a brand new Kindle Colour Scribe probably approaching September 30, it is also rumored that Amazon might be releasing a 6-inch shade Kindle. A mysterious color Kindle model did leak final month, but it surely’s unclear whether or not that was legit or not. It appears the Kindle Scribe Colour is more likely to seem, and a 6-inch shade 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’ll announce a refresh of its fundamental Kindle or the Kindle Paperwhite at this occasion as effectively. 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. A minimum of there is not a lot time left to attend, as Amazon’s occasion is on September 30.
