Kindle Scribe Colorsoft finally gets a release date — December 10, 2025

Amazon has announced that the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft will arrive on December 10, 2025. This third‑generation Kindle Scribe line now includes three models: an entry model without a front light (from $430), a lit model (from $480) and the Colorsoft edition (from $630), which adds color E‑Ink rendering.

The new Scribe lineup features a more symmetrical, thinner design and updated Kindle software aimed at improving note‑taking and productivity. Early hands‑on impressions suggest the Colorsoft renders colors more vividly than some rivals, although a full review comparison is needed to judge real‑world color fidelity.

Key features

• Color E‑Ink: Colorsoft can display colors, useful for annotated documents, diagrams and more expressive note‑taking.
• Three models & pricing: Base Scribe from $430, lit model from $480, Colorsoft from $630.
• Design: Thinner, more symmetrical chassis compared with previous generations.
• Software: Redesigned Kindle note‑taking features to streamline writing and organization.

Who should consider it?

If you take lots of handwritten notes, annotate PDFs or want a distraction‑free device for reading and writing, the Scribe lineup continues to be a strong option. The Colorsoft model is especially interesting for creators and students who need color annotations, but its $630 price means it competes with other color E‑Ink devices and tablets that may offer different tradeoffs.
