Amazon Kindle Scribe 2024

Amazon Launches New Kindles, Including An Updated Kindle Scribe

Amazon has launched a new lineup of Kindle devices, including a new version of the Kindle Scribe.

The new Kindle Scribe digital notebook includes all the features of the original, which I reviewed when it was launched, along with new white borders on the screen and a smoother, paper-like texture. At 300 ppi, text looks crisp and clear while the Premium Pen is finely crafted to feel more like holding an actual pen. The new soft-tipped eraser feels like a pencil.

With a more powerful notetaking experience, it also includes Active Canvas where you can write your thoughts directly in the book when inspiration strikes. Your note becomes part of the page and the book text dynamically flows around it. If you increase font size, change the font style, or the book layout changes, the note remains visible exactly where you want it so you never lose any meaning or context.

The new Kindle Scribe will start shipping on December 4 and is available now for pre-order starting at $500.

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 2024

There’s also a new version of the Kindle Paperwhite, which is its fastest model to date. Scrolling through your Kindle Library or Store is snappy and responsive, says Amazon, with 25% faster page turns. The display uses an oxide thin film transistor, which gives it the highest contrast ratio of any Kindle Paperwhite, so text and images pop off the screen. A larger, 7-inch display is a first for Kindle Paperwhite, yet the eReader is also the thinnest Kindle Paperwhite ever with up to three months of battery life.

Kindle Paperwhite ($185) is waterproof with 16GB of storage for thousands of books and comes in Black. Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition ($230), which comes with 32 GB of storage, optional wireless charging, and auto-adjusting front light, comes in Metallic Raspberry and Metallic Black.

A new version of the compact Kindle ($145) is now available in a Matcha finish. Weighing just 158g, the entry-level model is small enough to fit in your hand or carry in your back pocket.  It has a 300 ppi, glare-free display, now with faster page turns, higher contrast ratio, and a front light that is 25% brighter at max setting, as bright as Kindle Paperwhite. It offers weeks of battery life from a single charge and has 16 GB of storage for holding thousands of books.

Amazon Kindle Kids 2024

With Kindle Kids, parents can help their kids cultivate a love of reading at a young age. The new Kindle Paperwhite Kids comes with a Cyber City or Starfish cover, a two-year worry-free guarantee, and Amazon Kids+ included, the kid-friendly subscription service that provides access to thousands of age-appropriate books. It will begin shipping on October 30, 2024 and is now available for pre-order for $215.

All Kindle devices come with access to the Kindle e-book store, and an included three-month subscription to Kindle Unlimited, which provides an extensive library of digital books, comics, and magazines that span a myriad of genres, including popular series, best sellers, and more. From mystery and romance to nonfiction and memoir, members can read as many books as they’d like with a monthly membership.
