Kindle Scribe Colorsoft has just been released by Amazon and first thing I must say is that the maroon color is just gorgeous. I have never seen this color on an e-ink device and it just simply magnificent. It uses the same color display used by most e-ink devices- the Kaleido 3 but instead of the regular 10.3″ this one is 11″.
A new version of the black and white Scribe has also been launched, this time having frontlight. Check out their specs in the tables below-
