Amazon could also be increasing its colour 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 sensible 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 could possibly be a brand new Kindle within the backside proper nook. The picture exhibits a Kindle machine with an individual studying beneath a tree on the display, and it is in colour, hinting that the mannequin could have a colour E Ink show. You may take a look at the picture beneath.

After all, the burning query is, what sort of colour Kindle might Amazon be releasing? In response to 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 Outstanding, a brand new Kindle Scribe Coloration does not appear too far-fetched.

What might the Kindle Scribe Coloration appear like?

It would share many similarities with the newest Kindle Scribe

If Amazon proclaims a Kindle Scribe Coloration at its fall {hardware} occasion on September 30, in response to Good E Reader, it’ll largely resemble the second-generation Kindle Scribe that Amazon launched final 12 months, with a few variations to assist differentiate it, resembling being supplied in a special colour. The Kindle Scribe is at present out there in tungsten and metallic jade.

Spec-wise, it is anticipated to characteristic a ten.2-inch glare-free colour 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 colour 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 resulting from its bigger display. The Kindle Colorsoft has a 7.2-inch display, which is not unhealthy, however I consider comedian books and magazines could be a lot simpler to learn on a ten.2-inch colour show. Even textbooks and PDFs will look a lot better than on the present Kindle Scribe, due to the splash of colour a Kindle Scribe Coloration would offer.

Amazon releasing a Kindle Scribe Coloration in two weeks does make a variety 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 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 at present 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.

Moreover a brand new Kindle Coloration Scribe doubtlessly approaching September 30, it is also rumored that Amazon could possibly be releasing a 6-inch colour 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 colour Kindle is an enormous if, however not out of the query.

The final time Amazon up to date its whole 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 nicely. 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 least there is not a lot time left to attend, as Amazon’s occasion is on September 30.
