Amazon adds Kindle Scribe 3 and Kindle Scribe Colorsoft to its writing tablet lineup

Amazon unveiled two new additions to its Kindle Scribe family at its fall hardware event in New York: the Kindle Scribe 3 and the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft. One focuses on writing performance and portability, the other brings full-color e‑ink to the Scribe line.

Quick highlights

• Kindle Scribe 3: Redesigned to be significantly thinner and lighter, with a focus on faster writing and page‑turning. Amazon claims writing latency under 12 milliseconds.
• Kindle Scribe Colorsoft: The first Scribe with a full‑color E Ink Kaleido 3 display (7″) offering thousands of colors with a subtle, paper‑like look rather than bright tablet‑style color.
