"Amazon.com Inc.'s new Kindle Scribe Colorsoft is the company's most serious effort yet to turn its e-reader into a productivity tool. But with a starting price of $630 making it the priciest Kindle yet Amazon will need to persuade even its most loyal readers that the upgrade is worth it. The device, which goes on sale starting in the US Wednesday, is an extension of Amazon's pen-enabled Kindle Scribe line that launched three years ago."
"Other than having a slightly larger, colorful screen, it brings an improved pen, a convenient way to pull in files from some popular cloud services, and a handful of artificial intelligence features to help clean up and summarize your notes upgrades that could appeal to students and creative types. While this isn't the first device from the company capable of note taking, the addition of a color display puts it in more direct competition with Apple Inc.'s iPad lineup."
Amazon released the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft, an 11-inch Kindle with a color display, improved pen, cloud file import, and AI tools for cleaning and summarizing notes. The device is the first Scribe with color and the largest-screen Kindle to date. The $630 starting price makes it the priciest Kindle and positions it against tablets like Apple's iPad and niche devices like Remarkable's Paper Pro. iPad offers more apps and flexibility for less cost but can introduce distractions and eye strain. Amazon reports double-digit category sales growth after a product revamp. The Scribe Colorsoft targets students and creative users seeking focused note-taking.
