"While new Echo devices, Fire TVs, and Ring cameras captured most of the attention at Amazon's Devices & Services event this week, the company also unveiled a pair of upcoming Kindle devices -- the Scribe and the Scribe Colorsoft. (Check out ZDNET editor Nina Raemont's hands-on thoughts on both here). The new Kindles do mostly what you would expect from Amazon's e-reader, but a couple of AI-powered features in the announcement caught my eye."
"Whenever I find time to pick up my Kindle, I generally see two categories of books in my library. Some are books that captured my attention so well, I burned through them in a day or two. The majority, though, are books that I started, got distracted by another title, started that one, went back to my original, got distracted by a third, and so on. In fact, over half of my library is books in various states of completion."
"Naturally, those reading habits often lead to me wondering about things like, "Wait, who is this guy again?" or "What happened that caused all this drama?" By the time I've backtracked to sort things out, I don't have time to move forward very far, leading to my pile of unfinished books. Two new AI features aim to solve that problem."
A pair of new Kindle models, the Scribe and Scribe Colorsoft, were unveiled alongside other Amazon devices. Two AI-powered, spoiler-free catch-up features will arrive across most Kindle devices, beginning on the iOS Kindle app. One feature, Story So Far, creates a highlight-style, AI-generated summary of what a reader has already read so they can resume without re-skimming. The features analyze personal reading history and avoid spoilers while helping users jump back into interrupted books. The capabilities aim to reduce unfinished books and support readers who switch between multiple titles.
