I went hands-on with Amazon's newest Kindle models, and they've never felt so premium
"With its two new Scribes, Kindle tries to mimic writing on paper as closely as possible. It achieves this paper-like feel through a texture-molded glass that improves the pen's friction, a minimized parallax to emulate writing on a page, and more memory for added efficiency. The new specs create a writing and reading experience that's faster than last year's Scribe model."
"The Kindle Scribe Colorsoft is the first full-color note-taking e-reader Kindle has unveiled. The Kindle Scribe and Kindle Scribe Colorsoft start at $500 and $630 and will be available later this year. When I demoed the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft, I noticed how responsive my pen was on the display. Unlike other color tablets I've tested, the Scribe Colorsoft's lag time while drawing was minimal."
"The e-readers are thin and mimic writing on paper. Students looking to mark up their textbooks or PDFs all in one accessible and lightweight package will get a lot out of this Scribe lineup, as well as desk-side workers looking to read their favorite books and mark up documents on their morning commute to the office. The Scribes are 5.4mm thick (or thin), which Amazon describes as "ultra-thin," and weigh 400g for a light, portable feel."
Two new Kindle Scribe models expand Kindle into paper-like note-taking, including the first full-color note-taking model, Kindle Scribe Colorsoft. Both devices use an 11-inch display sized like a sheet of paper, measure 5.4mm thick, and weigh 400g for portability. A texture-molded glass surface, minimized parallax, and increased memory create a near paper-like writing feel and faster performance than the previous Scribe. The Colorsoft offers ten drawing colors and five highlight colors and delivers responsive pen input with minimal lag. Pricing starts at $500 with availability later this year. The devices target students and desk-side workers who annotate textbooks and PDFs.
