After about three years,Amazon finally has a new lineup of Kindles.
And in the middle, we finally have a model with a color e-ink screen.
Some of these devices are shipping now, but you’ll have to wait a bit for Scribe.
The question is, though, which model is right for you?
The Kindle keeps the 300 PPI 6-inch E Ink display from the previous generation.
This Kindle offers the same 6 week long battery life as the previous generation.
The screen also now sits completely flush with the bezels, giving it a tablet-like look.
The screen is now 7-inches across instead of the 6.8-inches from the previous model.
It’s also 25% faster, and according to Amazon, it’s the fastest Kindle yet.
This should make the black text really pop on the screen.
The front-light system now has 10 white LEDs and 9 Amber LEDs.
Plus, it comes in three exclusive colors: Metallic Raspberry, Metallic Jade, and Metallic Black.
The regular Kindle Paperwhite instead comes in Raspberry, Jade, and Black colors.
Like with the base Kindle, there’s a $10 bump in the price tag.
The Paperwhite starts at $159.99, while the Signature edition is now $199.99.
Kindle Colorsoft finally brings color to Kindle
Amazon finally has a brand new punch in of Kindle.
It’s called theKindle Colorsoft Signature Edition, and it is built on the foundation of the new Paperwhite.
The big difference, though, is the new color E Ink display.
The color screen is designed to view book covers, graphic novels, and certain manga.
The Kindle Colorsoft starts at $289.99.
Kindle Scribe goes AI
The2nd Generation Kindle Scribeis a small upgrade over the previous Kindle Scribe.
The big 10.2-inch and 300 PPI E Ink black and white display is still the same.
But now, the gear has white borders.
The screen also now has a paper-like coating, and the screen sits flush with the bezels.
The big feature here is AI.
Kindle’s AI can also help you summarize a couple of pages of handwritten notes.
And lastly, a new feature can help you clean up your handwritten notes, making them more legible.
Amazon will be adding these AI features to the older Scribe as well.
Which Kindle is right for you?
For the vast majority of users, the Kindle Paperwhite is still the best option.
It now has the fastest screen on any Kindle, features high contrast rate, and adjustable warm lighting.
The Kindle Colorsoft is a great pick for fans of graphic novels and manga.
The fast screen should make reading illustrated stories an ease.
The competition, though, is cheaper.
you might get aKobo Libra Colorfor $220 on Amazon.
The Kindle Scribe works best for people who really want to annotate and take notes on their ebooks.
The base Kindle is a viable option if you’re on a budget.
