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 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 exhibits a Kindle machine with an individual studying underneath a tree on the display screen, and it is in colour, hinting that the mannequin can have a colour E Ink show. You’ll be able to take a look at the picture under.

In fact, the burning query is, what sort of colour Kindle might Amazon be releasing? In line with Good E Reader, which cites the beliefs of “trade insiders,” Amazon is more likely 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 Exceptional, a brand new Kindle Scribe Shade does not appear too far-fetched.

What might the Kindle Scribe Shade appear to be?

It’d share many similarities with the most recent Kindle Scribe

Amazon

If Amazon pronounces a Kindle Scribe Shade at its fall {hardware} occasion on September 30, based on 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 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 identical because the Kindle Colorsoft.

If Amazon releases a Kindle Scribe Shade, 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 imagine comedian books and magazines could be a lot simpler to learn on a ten.2-inch colour show. Even textbooks and PDFs will look significantly better than on the present Kindle Scribe, because of the splash of colour a Kindle Scribe Shade would supply.

Amazon

Amazon releasing a Kindle Scribe Shade in two weeks does make a variety 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 Exceptional 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 variety of consideration. Good E Reader believes Amazon might value the Kindle Scribe Shade a bit larger 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 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 might be releasing a 6-inch colour Kindle. A mysterious color Kindle model did leak final month, nevertheless 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 colour Kindle is a giant if, however not out of the query.

The final time Amazon up to date its complete 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 properly. 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. Not less than there is not a lot time left to attend, as Amazon’s occasion is on September 30.
