Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) today introduced Kindle Scribe—the next
generation of Kindle that unites reading with writing. Kindle
Scribe features the world’s first 10.2-inch, 300 pixels per inch
(ppi), Paperwhite display, and an included pen that never needs
charging. The premium, front-lit, and glare-free display feels like
reading and writing on paper, with crisp text and ample space for
larger fonts, images, charts, and documents. Designed for reading
and notetaking in millions of books, adding notes to documents,
journaling, and more, Kindle Scribe is available for preorder today
from just $339 and will ship later this year. Learn more at
www.amazon.com/kindlescribe.
“Kindle Scribe is the best Kindle we’ve ever built, creating a
reading and writing experience that feels like real paper,” said
Kevin Keith, vice president of Amazon Devices. “It's inspired by
the Kindle customers who have added billions of notes and
highlights to books over the years, and it’s also ideal for
reviewing and marking up documents, managing your to-do list, or
doodling over a big idea. Plus, it offers all the Kindle benefits
customers know and love—millions of books on demand, adjustable
fonts, premium reading features, and weeks and weeks of battery
life—with the benefit of a beautiful, large display.”
Premium Design
Just 5.8 mm thin, Kindle Scribe features the world’s first
10.2-inch, 300-ppi, glare-free display; an auto-adjusting front
light; months of battery life; and a pen that never needs to be
charged—making it an ideal, take-anywhere companion. The glare-free
display has been engineered to replicate the feel and flow of pen
on paper, creating a natural and comfortable experience. The large,
high-resolution, Paperwhite display also provides ample room for
reading and taking notes; enhances the beauty of images,
illustrations, and graphics; and provides easy-to-adjust
margins.
Kindle Scribe comes with a Basic or Premium pen option. Both
pens deliver incredible precision, feel natural in your hand, and
magnetically attach to the side of the device. They also support a
variety of line widths, a highlighter tool, eraser tools, and an
undo tool—all easily accessible in the on-display writing menu. The
Premium Pen also includes a dedicated eraser on top and a
customizable shortcut button, enabling the pen to function as an
eraser or highlighter, or to open a new sticky note when the button
is pressed.
Premium Experience
New digital sticky notes on Kindle Scribe allow you to easily
add handwritten notes to millions of books—with notes and
highlights automatically organized in one place to keep pages
clutter-free. You can also journal or take notes using a variety of
templates, including to-do lists for tracking tasks and lined paper
for meeting notes. All notebooks are automatically saved and backed
up to the cloud for free, and, coming in early 2023, they will also
be accessible via the Kindle app.
With the Send-to-Kindle feature, you can import personal
documents from your computer or phone to Kindle Scribe and write
directly on PDF documents. You can also import and create
handwritten sticky notes in Microsoft Word documents, web articles,
and other document formats with adjustable font sizes and layout.
From early 2023, you will be able to send documents to Kindle
Scribe directly from within Microsoft Word.

reading with larger font sizes will see more text per page, and
they can increase the size of items like the text on the home

VoiceView screen reader to read English-language books on Kindle
