The Scribe information rolls out slowly however absolutely: Amazon announced (by way of banner) that the Fig colorway will hit the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft on January 28 at 6AM PST / 9AM EST. The discharge will come effectively over a month after the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft launched completely in Graphite on December 10, 2025.

Nevertheless, there’s a catch. The Fig colorway appears to be like prefer it’s solely obtainable for the 64GB Kindle Scribe Colorsoft, which is $50 costlier than the 32GB model — its extra primary Graphite counterpart. Whereas some customers will not thoughts paying the premium for a persona pop and additional storage, it is a bit of disappointing that the one vibrant possibility sits behind a coloration ‘cowl’ price.

The Kindle Scribe Colorsoft

There is a new Fig on the town

In addition to a groovier chassis and an identical, gorgeous stylus, there’s nothing new apart from an additional 32GB (64GB whole) to report in regards to the colourful digital pocket book. I’ve spent over a month with the system — in Graphite — and may attest to the vibrancy of the palette, even with its restricted 10-color decisions.

The Kindle Scribe Colorsoft ditched the thick bezel on the aspect of earlier Scribe generations in favor of a extra symmetrical 11-inch show with thinner bezels throughout. I am an enormous fan of the dimensions, which feels far more like a normal piece of paper. Illuminating the display screen is a brand new entrance mild system of mini-LEDs that create a way more uniform look. Although the display screen would not look very similar to paper, the textured glass provides sufficient friction to virtually trick the hand holding the stylus into feeling prefer it does.

The 5 writing utensils (pen, fountain pen, marker, pencil, and shader) are current, in addition to the highlighter instrument. You’ll be able to toggle between thickness choices like earlier Kindle Scribes, too. Software program-wise, the homepage hub is extremely intuitive and a design I hope Amazon brings to older Scribe generations by way of distant updates.

AI is distinguished within the Scribe Colorsoft, too. However not like different packages, I truly use Amazon’s built-in AI. It is versatile, intuitive, and will help me dig up scribbles I can not discover and even summarize my notes earlier than a serious assembly. It additionally provides (conveniently) Google Drive and OneDrive integration, which is an enormous step within the productiveness route for folks leaping between units.
