There’s never been a better time to pick up a Kindle. Amazon is introducing an entirely new lineup of Kindle devices, including a reimagined Kindle Scribe, the fastest Kindle Paperwhite ever, and a new entry Kindle in a fun, new Matcha color.
Let’s get to know the newest Kindle devices.
The new Kindle Scribe - A Kindle and Digital Notebook in One
The all-new Kindle Scribe combines all the benefits of Kindle with a notetaking device. The display has new white borders and a smooth, paper-like texture that make it look and feel like you’re writing on a sheet of paper in a notebook. Plus, at 300ppi text looks crisp and clear when you’re writing or reading. The premium pen is finely crafted to deliver just the right heft and balance, so it feels like holding an actual pen, and the new soft-tipped eraser feels like a pencil—you’ll think you have to brush the screen clean after erasing.
The new Kindle Scribe offers new experiences for in-book writing and notetaking. With Active Canvas, 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 the 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. Coming soon, you’ll also be able to write your notes in the side panel and easily hide them when you are done.
The fastest Kindle ever: The all-new Kindle Paperwhite
Since its debut in 2012, customers have made Kindle Paperwhite our best-selling Kindle—and the all-new Kindle Paperwhite is our fastest yet. Scrolling through your Kindle Library or Store is snappy and responsive, with 25% faster page turns. The display uses an oxide thin film transistor which gives it the highest contrast ratio of any Kindle, so text and images pop off the screen. A larger, seven-inch display is a first for Kindle Paperwhite—and yet, it is also the thinnest Paperwhite ever and with up to three months of battery life you can take it anywhere.
Kindle Paperwhite is waterproof with 16GB of storage for thousands of books, and comes in Black. Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, which comes with 32GB of storage, optional wireless charging, and auto-adjusting front light, comes in Metallic Raspberry and Metallic Black.
The new Kindle—our most compact Kindle, now in Matcha
Weighing in at just 158 grams, the new entry-level Kindle is small enough to fit in your hand or carry in your back pocket—and it’s packed with premium Kindle features. It has a 300ppi, 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 comes in a fun and fresh new Matcha color, offers weeks of battery life from a single charge, and has 16GB of storage for holding thousands of books—all of which make it the ideal device for reading anywhere the day takes you.
For the youngest readers—thousands of books
Parents can help their kids cultivate a love of reading at a young age—in fact, when a kid sits down with a Kindle, they read, on average, more than an hour a day. The Kindle Paperwhite Kids comes with a Cyber City and Starfish cover. Both devices come with a 2-year worry free guarantee and six months of Amazon Kids+ included, a kid-friendly subscription service that provides access to thousands of age-appropriate books.
Discover your next favorite read
All Kindle devices come with access to the world’s best e-book store, and a 3-month subscription to Kindle Unlimited, which provides an extensive library of digital books, audiobooks, comics, and magazines that span a myriad of genres, including popular series, best sellers, and more.
