Amazon announced a new Kindle e-reader on Wednesday, which for the first time has a color display.

The retail giant introduced the Kindle in 2007 and every device since has had a black and white screen. The new Kindle has a display designed to ensure colors don’t look washed out or grainy, even when users zoom in on images.

The $279 device, which Amazon calls the Kindle Colorsoft, has a battery life of “weeks,” the company said. It’s available for pre-order now and will ship on October 30th.

Amazon also unveiled a redesigned $399 Kindle Scribe with new note-taking features, an updated $159 Kindle Paperwhite, and a $109 12th Generation Kindle. At a press event in New York on Tuesday, Amazon’s device chief, Panos Panay, called the updates the “biggest refresh the Kindle lineup has ever had.”

The Kindle Scribe, which Amazon introduced in 2022, comes with a pen that allows users to take notes, create to-do lists, and write directly on the pages of the book they’re reading. The new note-taking feature, called Active Canvas, allows users to annotate directly on the pages of an e-book, with the text automatically shifting to flow around them. They can also make notes in the margins of the book and hide them for later.

The Kindle Scribe includes another new feature that uses generative artificial intelligence to summarize pages of notes into a concise list. Amazon said the feature uses Bedrock, a software tool that gives users access to large language models from Amazon and other companies such as Anthropic and Stability AI. The device is available for pre-order now and will ship on December 4.

The new Kindle Paperwhite is faster than previous models and also features a larger 7-inch screen, compared to 6.8 inches on the previous version. Amazon says the 12th generation Kindle is the most “compact” e-reader ever, with a brighter screen. Both devices will be available from Wednesday.
