The Kindle Scribe will go on sale on December 4, 2024, for $399. It will be available in two colors: black and a metallic teal, which really pops when you see it in person. The tablet will also come with a color-matching pen, which attaches magnetically to the side of the device.

Either way, the Scribe’s software updates are its most exciting new features. Most of them are designed to make the device more useful for writing. A new feature called Active Canvas, for instance, lets you write notes on books or PDFs that are actually anchored in-line with the text you’re reading.

Amazon's updated its Kindle Scribe with improved hardware and, more significantly, software and generative AI features that make writing more intuitive.

I just hope the new Kindle Scribe pen doesn’t feel like a plastic toy, like the first one does. The weight of the pen makes a big difference for the writing experience. Amazons
