Amazon - Kindle Scribe Colorsoft 64GB (newest model), 11” paper-like color display with front light, Thin, light, powerful - 2025 - Fig

This is my review of the new Kindle Scribe Colorsoft, Amazon's newest and largest (at 11 inches) Kindle e-reader. The Scribe Colorsoft is not a tablet in the average sense, like a Fire, Samsung Tab or an Apple iPad even though it resembles them in general appearance. The Colorsoft is a device that uses a front lit Kaleido 3 color e-paper display. Since the tech behind the screen is different, the colors the Scribe produces are not as vivid or vibrant as the traditional tablet, but for someone wanting or needing a device that is easier to read for longer sessions causing less eyestrain, the Scribe Colorsoft is ideal. As well as reading, the Scribe Colorsoft is also a writing device. It comes with the Scribe Premium Pen and five extra pen nibs included. The pen does not need to be charged since it operates elecromagnetically with the device screen. The pen and screen combintion, with its anti-glare coating, produce a more satisfying writing feel than an iPad or similar tablet. As this is the 3rd generation Scribe the note taking capabilities have improved immensely. Folder managment has also been improved over the original Scribe. AI features of the Scribe include converting handwriting to text in several different styles and also summarizing either a notebook page or an entire notebook. These features work very well and are fairly quick. Another highly useful feature is word search in your handwritten notes. Hand writing recognition is very accurate. More AI features are slated to be added in future updates. I am giving the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft my highest recommendation since I believe it is the best implementation of the Kaleido color e-ink technology to be found at this time.

I love it! Ive never had anything like it before. I bought it just to read the bible before I go to sleep. I love that you are able to make notes and it saves all of them on the page itself and on a separate notes page. Im sure I will start reading other things as well because it makes it very easy to read anywhere at anytime and the battery last fir a very long time.

I would give a full 5 stars if the price I purchased at was the real price. However, I got it deeply on sale. I love this device but Amazon has made it a bit clunky in terms of imports. For example, I am editing my work and each time I’ve added writing I import a new version of the same document. You cannot change the name once it’s on the device so I never know which edit I am opening. The other issue I found frustrating is the process of purchasing books and having them show up on your device. This process is also clunky and it has confusing naming for ‘kindle books’ and ‘books’. It’s as if there’s separate sections but it’s not exactly clear what goes where. I still don’t even fully understand it to explain clearly on this review. This is more of a fault of Amazon and not the device itself. Aside from these issues, I’ve enjoyed my kindle. This is my first kindle ever and I had been looking at it regularly waiting for it to go on sale. The color is amazing, and it is great on the eyes. I feel refreshed after using it unlike an iPad or computer. It is a device in its own category, there is nothing quite like what it focuses on providing. It’s great for notes and journaling. The screen feels closest to writing on paper when compared to an iPad. Its battery life is AMAZING. I never worry about power. I love it overall so far. If you’re looking for an iPad this is not for you. If you’re looking for a journal, reading device, and hands on editing machine this is it!

it has a very high-quality screen that feels comfortable when writing on it. It’s productive for both taking notes and reading books. The Workspace allows me to organize all my documents and notebooks as Kindle always prioritize reading over notetaking. I hope there will be more notetaking features coming out soon.

My Kindle has totally upgraded my reading! It's distraction-free, comfortable with its big, light screen, and has amazing battery life. The highlighting and note-taking features are a huge plus. Highly recommend for any book lover!
