亚马逊推出 11 吋彩色电子纸平板 Kindle Scribe Colorsoft，起价 630 美元，是迄今最贵的 Kindle。相较之下，11 吋 iPad 搭配 USB‑C Apple Pencil 价格不到 430 美元，挪威品牌 Remarkable 的 Paper Pro 为 629 美元。亚马逊也将提供两款较便宜的 Scribe：一款是 500 美元、具高亮背光的黑白机型，另一款是售价 430 美元、无背光且预计在 2026 年初上市的版本。
Colorsoft 采用 11 吋无眩光电子纸萤幕，重量 400 公克、厚度 5.4 毫米，提供石墨色与深红色、32 或 64GB 储存。亚马逊称新四核心 MediaTek 晶片可让书写与翻页速度提升 40%，并在每日阅读 30 分钟情境下续航最长 8 周。但实测显示，大约 2 小时使用就掉电约 20%，闲置时仍持续耗电，透过 USB‑C 充电完整充饱约需 3 小时。
Colorsoft 可直接从 OneNote、OneDrive 与 Google Drive 汇入文件，并透过 AI 驱动的 Notebook 搜寻与对话式笔记整理，以及手写转文字功能提升生产力，不过单次查询在约 15 页笔记后就会受限。亚马逊表示，自 2024 年改版以来，Kindle 类别销量呈两位数成长，其中约 60% 来自新客户，很多是受 TikTok 影响的 Z 世代与千禧族群。未来还预告 Story So Far、Ask This Book 等更多 AI 阅读功能与 Alexa+ 整合，进一步强化生产力定位。
Amazon’s new Kindle Scribe Colorsoft is an 11‑inch, pen‑enabled e‑ink tablet starting at $630, its most expensive Kindle yet. It undercuts few rivals: a basic 11‑inch iPad plus USB‑C Apple Pencil costs under $430, while the similarly niche Remarkable Paper Pro is priced at $629. Amazon also offers two cheaper Scribe models, a $500 black‑and‑white version with strong backlight and a $430 model without lighting coming in early 2026.
The Colorsoft weighs 400 grams (0.88 pounds), measures 5.4 millimeters thick, and comes in graphite or deep red with 32 or 64 gigabytes of storage. Amazon claims its new quad‑core MediaTek chip speeds writing and page turns by 40% versus last year’s Kindle Scribe, and the frontlit, textured glass display can last up to eight weeks at 30 minutes of daily reading. Review testing, however, saw battery drop about 20% after roughly two hours of use and continue draining while idle, with a full USB‑C recharge taking about three hours.
Productivity additions include direct imports from OneNote, OneDrive and Google Drive, AI powered Notebook search that can chat with notes, and handwriting to text conversion, though queries stop working after about 15 pages of notes. The pen, sold separately for $85 and bundled with five tips, quickly dulls tips and can scratch the screen; replacement packs of five cost $17. Amazon reports that since a 2024 revamp, Kindle sales have grown at a double digit rate, with about 60% of purchases coming from new customers, many of them Gen Z and millennials influenced by TikTok.
