Amazon Kindle

At its fall hardware event, Amazon announced a new Kindle that you can also write on!

The 10.2-inch 300 ppi E-ink display device is the first Kindle that you can scribe on and is “meant to feel like pen on paper,” all while retaining what makes the Kindle tablet one of the best e-readers.

The stylus includes a built-in eraser and shortcut buttons, and attaches to the side of the device. The stylus allows users to take notes or make to-do lists, while also being able to write on the page of the book you’re reading.

Pre-orders for the new Kindle Scribe begin today in the U.S., and the device is expected to be available “in time for holidays” for $339.99 USD. MobileSyrup has reached out to Amazon regarding Canadian pricing and availability.

Amazon has revealed its next-gen Kindle e-reader, which the tech giant says is the “lightest and smallest Kindle” yet.

Coming in at $129.99, the new Kindle features a 300ppi high-res 6-inch display, compared to the previous-gen Kindle’s 167ppi 6-inch display. It also features a more efficient battery that offers up to six weeks of battery life per charge (based on a half hour of reading per day), as compared to the last-gen Kindle’s four-week battery life, which in itself was more than enough for most people.

The new Kindle features USB-C charging paired with 16GB storage, which is double the storage of its predecessor. It also offers a glare-free display, alongside an adjustable front light that allows for a comfortable reading experience regardless of whether you are indoors in a dark room or outdoors under direct sunlight.

And while Amazon hasn’t revealed the new Kindle’s exact weight or dimensions, it did say that the device is the “lightest and most compact Kindle model available,” and that you can easily fit it in your pocket and comfortably use it with one hand.

The device is sourced and built with 90 percent recycled magnesium and is available to pre-order in Black or Denim colours starting today for $129.99.

Amazon’s new kindle will start shipping on October 12th.
