Amazon has taken the wraps off its all-new Kindle Scribe lineup, marking the biggest shake-up to its e-reader-meets-notebook device since its debut. The star of the announcement is Kindle Scribe Colorsoft, the first-ever Kindle with colour writing, designed to give notes, sketches, and highlights a more natural feel without the harshness of an LCD screen. The new Scribe is thinner at just 5.4mm, lighter at 400g, and faster thanks to a reworked display stack, quad-core processor, and extra memory. Amazon says page turns and pen strokes are now 40% quicker, while the new texture-moulded glass and tighter parallax-free display make writing feel almost indistinguishable from pen on paper. The new Kindle Scribe range ships later this year in the U.S. starting at $499.99, with the Colorsoft edition from $629.99.
