Amazon unveiled the new generation of Kindle Scribe at its fall hardware event on Tuesday. The 2025 lineup of the e-reader and notebook combo also includes the company’s first colour-supported display, dubbed Kindle Scribe Colorsoft. The Seattle-based tech giant claims that a new technology has been used to ensure the colour production doesn’t hurt the eyes. Amazon has introduced a new front light system with miniaturised LEDs and a quad-core chipset for the third generation of Kindle Scribe. While the devices have been unveiled, they will go on sale starting later this year.Kindle Scribe 2025: Price and AvailabilityKindle Scribe with front light is priced starting at $499.99 (roughly Rs. 44,400), while the version without the front light is priced at $429.99 (roughly Rs. 38,200). On the other hand, the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft can be purchased for $629.99 (roughly Rs. 55,900). Amazon says the front light and Colorsoft models will be available in the US later this year, and the non-front light version will go on sale early next year.Notably, all of the e-readers will come with a new pen that attaches to the Kindle Scribe. Amazon is also introducing a range of new folio covers. All Kindle Scribe buyers will also get a three-month subscription to Kindle Unlimited.Kindle Scribe 2025 Features and SpecificationsJust like the older generation, the Kindle Scribe 2025 also features an 11-inch display. The device measures 5.4mm in thickness and weighs 400g, making it thinner and lighter than older models. Amazon also said the devices feature a new quad-core chip and increased memory to make them 40 percent faster. The details about the chipset and the RAM were not shared.Amazon has also added a new front light system with miniaturised LEDs in the new lineup, which allows for narrower bezels and uniform lighting. A new texture-moulded glass improves the friction when the pen moves across the screen. The company also claims that a “rearchitected display stack” has been added to shrink the parallax, making users feel they are directly writing on the page.Kindle Scribe Colorsoft

Amazon says it used a colour filter and light guide with nitride LEDs to add colours, while ensuring the screen doesn’t hurt the eyes like a typical LCD screen. “To deliver an incredible colour writing experience, we developed a new rendering engine, which enhances the colour and ensures writing is fast, fluid, and totally natural,” the company said in a blog post.Despite the addition of colours, the tech giant claims that the device will provide weeks of battery life.Apart from this, a couple of new features and a redesigned interface have also been added. The new Home page shows Quick Notes to let users quickly write something down. It also has options for recently opened and added books, documents, and notebooks.Amazon is also adding AI summaries to let users quickly go through their notes while searching for the right one. Users can also ask follow-up questions. A new shader tool has also been added for artists, giving them more control over the depth and richness of the art. Early next year, users will also be able to send their notes and documents from Kindle Scribe to Alexa+ and have a conversation about them.

3 ways I make NotebookLM my personal sidekick
NotebookLM is marketed as a research and notes companion, but honestly, I don’t quite use it the way Google had intended. The “official” pitch is that you upload documents, and it helps you pull insights and keep track of sources. This is undoubtedly useful for things like academic work, but it can also get boring if that’s all you use it for. Source: xda-developers.com … [Read More...]
I didn't know the Obsidian Reminder plugin existed, but it's exactly what I needed
I run my entire life out of my Obsidian vault, but until now, something has been missing. I've tried multiple to-do apps, but none of those really checked all the boxes — and then I stumbled across the Obsidian Reminder plugin. This small, simple plugin has become an essential part of my workflow. I already struggle to remember things — if it isn't written down, it doesn't exist — but with a … [Read More...]
Opera is bringing a huge wave of free AI tools to its browsers
A few days ago, Opera broke the news that my favorite AI browser was getting a general release. It was fantastic news for me, because when I gave their test build out and used it to remake the classic game of Snake, I had a blast experimenting with all the different things I could ask it to do.

4 cheap PC parts I’ll never buy again
Building a PC is an exciting rite of passage for any tech enthusiast. There's an overwhelming breadth of options available at every budget. However, this low barrier to entry is a double-edged sword. It’s incredibly tempting for a novice or first-time PC builder to look at a compatibility list and pair an upper-mid tier CPU and gaming GPU with an affordable $80 motherboard. I've been tempted too, … [Read More...]
I replaced WSL with a full Linux VM, and here’s why it's actually better
Windows Subsystem for Linux, or WSL, has been an incredibly welcome addition to Windows for those who enjoy developing and tinkering with Linux distributions. The lightweight, easy-to-setup nature of these instances is perfect for anyone looking to run Linux tools without needing to leave their primary OS. Once I started to use non-native packages and stepped outside of basic command-line tasks, I … [Read More...]
RGB is secretly the worst bloatware on your PC
If your PC features a lot of RGB lighting, chances are you've got software to manage it. While proprietary RGB software will give you complete control over your lighting, most RGB control software consumes hardware resources to run on a consistent basis. This is especially true of most OEMs' proprietary RGB management software, like Asus Armoury Crate, MSI Center, or Razer Synapse. Source: … [Read More...]
This cute open-source notes app killed Google Keep for me
Google Keep has been my go-to for jotting down quick ideas and making lists. It’s minimal, dead easy to navigate, and also just a tap away on my phone. I love it for its simplicity which allows me to quickly dump half-formed notes. But over time, I started to hit a ceiling. My notes became a messy scroll of colorful squares without folders or real structure. I also wasn’t a fan of my notes being … [Read More...]
The best smart rings for 2025
It’s getting increasingly difficult to say smart rings are just a niche inside the broader world of wearable technology. The raft of celebrities who are seen wearing them, the NBA’s use of Oura rings as an early warning system against COVID-19 and, last year, Samsung’s entry into the market has made them far more prominent in the minds of mainstream consumers. We’ve tested plenty of smart … [Read More...]
