Amazon expands its Kindle catalog with its first ‘eReader’ with a color screen

The Kindle e-book reader catalog has increased with the addition of four new devices, including the brand’s first in color and the fastest Paperwhite to date.

Colorsoft Signature Edition ($279.99) is the first Kindle eReader with a color screen, supporting the reading of magazines and comics, and any other book, with color covers and pages, as well as images and photographs.

This Kindle model also allows you to highlight parts of the text with a color digital highlighter, and choose different colors to make it easier to search later.

The screen of this Kindle integrates a new light guide with nitride LEDs that, in combination with Amazon algorithms, improves color and increases brightness. It also has wireless charging, a battery that offers autonomy of up to eight weeks, and water resistance.

The tech company has also developed the “fastest” Kindle Paperwhite to date, which improves page-turning speed by up to 25 percent. It also improves the contrast of the display with an oxide thin film transistor.

This new Paperwhite ($159.99) is also the one with the largest screen, 7 inches, and the thinnest, and offers an autonomy of up to three months, according to Amazon on the advertisement page in Spanish with prices in dollars – which the company withdrew shortly after publishing and can be recovered at this link, as indicated in The Verge -.

It is available with 16GB of storage, with 32GB in the case of the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition model ($199.99), which also comes with wireless charging and an auto-adjusting front light.

Kindle Scribe ($399.99), meanwhile, presents itself as a Kindle for taking notes. The screen on this device “has new white edges and a smooth, paper-like texture,” which, along with the accompanying stylus, makes the experience like writing on a notebook. Includes Artificial Intelligence to summarize notes and highlight the most important points.

Along with these three models, Amazon has prepared a new basic Kindle ($109.99) in Matcha green, with 16GB of storage and two weeks of autonomy, and two new versions for children of the Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite.
