"Amazon has revealed its fresh lineup of Kindle Scribes at the annual fall hardware event in New York, along with other announcements. The new devices have been reimagined from the ground up to fit the current-day requirements and iron out all the shortcomings of the previous models. The new Scribes will be available in the UK for starters, and the introduction of the first-ever color Kindle Scribe is a welcome addition."
"All three models come with a brush of redesign to do away with the asymmetrical chin on one side. This makes these devices look sleeker, more like a tablet-like form factor. All the variants have an 11-inch glare-free screen, which is bigger than the previous model at 10.2 inches. Even with the increase in size, the Scribes are a lot lighter at 400 grams and less thick at 5.4mm. Compare that to the ultra-thin iPhone Air, and they are still the winner."
"The new Scribes come with an advanced front light system courtesy of tiny LEDs that have uniform light distribution for a paper-like look. It also helps in reducing the screen size and the bezels. To simulate the effect of writing with a pen on a paper surface, the glass has a unique texture, and the gap between the glass and the E Ink panel underneath is reduced for a good tactile feel."
Three redesigned Kindle Scribe models introduce an 11-inch glare-free display, lighter 400-gram bodies, and 5.4mm thickness for a sleeker, tablet-like form factor. The lineup includes the first color Kindle Scribe and a model positioned as a refined alternative to the Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition. Tiny LEDs provide a uniform front light that reduces bezels and creates a paper-like appearance. Textured glass and a reduced gap to the E Ink panel improve pen-on-paper tactile feel. A new quad-core processor and increased memory deliver approximately 40 percent faster page turns. The standard Scribe comes in two variants with cited pricing of $430 and $500. The Scribe Colorsoft uses a larger version of the brand's color E Ink technology.
