Top reviews from the United States
- ChrisAmazon Knocked it Out of the ParkLast year I got the updated 2024 Kindle Scribe and have thoroughly enjoyed it. I wrote a review for that device listing all of the things I loved, and the handful of things that I would change or improve. With the Scribe Colorsoft, Amazon has addressed every single item I wanted to improve. The ability to search handwritten notes is here. Being able to quickly switch between books, notebooks, and documents is here via the Jump Back In section on the home screen. The ability to organize documents, notebooks, and books together in folders is here via the revamped Workspace tab on the home screen. Easy integration with Google Drive is here. PDFs now have a preview thumbnail instead of just a generic PDF cover.
On top of all those improvements, the Scribe remains the BEST Kindle reading experience, and the Colorsoft screen is vibrant, easy on the eyes, and a ton of fun. At least on the one I received there do not seem to be any quality issues like there were with the first batch of colorsoft last year.
The writing experience is also improved. The latency is reduced and it feels like you are writing directly on a sheet of paper. The colors are so fun and there are a ton of options. Between the new shader tool, the highlighter, and marker, it is easy and fun to write, draw, and color.
There are a few additional things I'd like to see added. Expanded built-in template options, or the ability to create our own templates from a notebook. I like the simplicity of the built-in planner template, but I would like to not have to recreate it each month. However, there are a ton of PDF templates available on the kindle store and they now support color as well. I would also like to see the ability to connect a Bluetooth page turner directly to the Scribe instead of having to clip one onto the screen to turn the pages remotely.
Overall, an excellent device that I look forward to using. - Riversong215⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Worth the wait – a huge upgrade from the original Kindle ScribeI upgraded from the original black-and-white Kindle Scribe to the new Colorsoft, and the transition could not have been easier. All of my content transferred seamlessly, so I was able to pick it up and start using it immediately without any setup headaches.
The color functionality is a game changer. I love being able to write, highlight, and draw using multiple shades — 10 pen shades and 5 highlighter shades — and the shading tools let you build even more depth by layering colors. The highlighter works similarly, where overlapping highlights create richer tones. While I’m not a serious artist, this is perfect for journaling, light sketching, note-taking, and marking up documents.
Image quality on the original Scribe was fine, but everything being black and white really limited its usefulness for cookbooks and picture-heavy books. The Colorsoft completely solves that. Photos and illustrations are surprisingly clear and vivid, which makes reading visual content far more enjoyable. The built-in backlight is another big plus, especially for reading and writing in darker environments.
There are a couple of minor drawbacks. The white pen looks a bit odd with the graphite case, but that’s easy to overlook given how well everything else works. The official covers are also very expensive. I measured the device and ordered a universal 11” tablet case with a pen holder, which I am hoping will work well until more reasonably priced options become available.
Overall, I’m extremely happy with this purchase and glad I ordered early. I’m already using it, and I’m keeping my original black-and-white Scribe as a backup. I’ve been watching for this release for months, and it absolutely lived up to my expectations. - Mashrur ArefinOffice work management made super easy!Hats off to Amazon for releasing Kindle Scribe Colorsoft. Office work management made easy!
I am a heavy user of Kindle. Kindle Scribe Colorsoft is my 8th or 9th Kindle device, and 3rd Scribe. Received this one in USA, and in next flight it came to Dhaka. Also received the cover (ordered separately). I manage my entire office meetings and all official works on its notebook by heavily using the note taking facilities of Kindle Scribe. For reading books I still use Kindle Oasis which has a back made of steel. Now I have already started highlighting my notes in different colors which is fantastic. I will manage my bank on color-coded priority task assignment and supervision basis from now on. Nothing beats the beauty and elegance and utility functions of Scribe Colorsoft from an office management point of view. Waiting for the other functionalities to be released soon.
Update below after using it for more than a week:
I am truly enjoying the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft, though there are a few important observations worth sharing.
When you compare the screen of the Scribe Colorsoft with the regular Kindle Scribe side by side, the difference in base screen tone is immediately noticeable. No matter how much I adjust the settings, the Colorsoft’s screen remains noticeably darker. In the photo I have shared, the Colorsoft is set to Brightness 18 and Warmth 10, while the Scribe is at Brightness 12 and Warmth 6. If I were to lower the Colorsoft to match the Scribe’s settings, it would definitely appear hugely & significantly darker. This base color tone is something potential buyers should be aware of.
That said, I am still very happy with the Colorsoft and expect to adjust to it over time.
Where the device truly shines is in design and usability. I really love the Home Screen layout, especially the Quick Note and 'Jump Back In' features placed at the top. They are intuitive and genuinely useful. The ability to write in color is a big welcome addition, although highlighting in multiple colors does offer some challenge.
Reading books on this device is a pleasure. The build feels solid and reassuring. Writing, saving and managing notes and files is smooth and enjoyable, and the overall experience feels polished.
Despite the screen tone issue, this is a very elegant, thoughtfully designed device that I enjoy using every day.
