Kindle Unlimited usually costs $11.99 per month, making this offer a fantastic bonus.
Introducing the Kindle Colorsoft
The standout feature of the new Kindle Colorsoft is its vibrant color display, promising a “paper-like color that brings covers and content to life.” This device boasts enhanced contrast and quick display performance, allowing for a more immersive reading experience. Equipped with a sophisticated light guide and nitride LEDs, the Colorsoft improves color accuracy and brightness while maintaining clarity and detail. Users will appreciate the ability to choose different color styles and enlarge images for a more customizable experience.
With a battery life of up to eight weeks and the convenience of wireless charging, the Kindle Colorsoft is also designed for durability, being waterproof for worry-free reading by the pool or in the bath. This new Kindle model will be available for pre-order now, with a release date set for October 30, 2024, priced at $279.99.
The Enhanced Kindle Scribe
The 2024 Kindle Scribe model is set to elevate the digital notebook experience with its impressive 300 PPI display. A newly designed white frame aims to enhance writing comfort through Active Canvas technology, enabling users to write notes directly on the page while dynamically integrating text around their handwritten input. A premium stylus, designed to replicate the feel of a traditional pen, along with a soft eraser, adds a touch of authenticity to the writing experience.
Scheduled for release on December 4, 2024, the new Kindle Scribe will retail for $399.99, and pre-orders are already open.
