    Damn – was really hoping for a color model of the scribe. I guess I’m buying another boox tablet!

    I preordered it yesterday but canceled today since I realized that I read most of my books in text BW around 90% of the time. I mainly use my Kindle Scribe for note taking and reading documents that require graphics such as textbooks and PPTs in PDF format so will just stay with my paper white and scribe for now

    I have the original Kindle Scribe, so I’m glad to hear that the software features added will come to it as I won’t need to upgrade but, I might get the colour display model version ????????????????????????????

    Just get the meebook, 16gb storage isn’t enough the SD card slot is a much for a e-reader. Plus being android is a plus

    These don’t sound awe inspiring to me.

    my favourite is paperlight but i might upgrade to colur one when its in a sale

    Dude subtly tells us to “F— off” at 3:00. Great quick overview otherwise!

    I’m currently using a 2010 Kindle Keyboard. I cannot live without these page turn buttons and it’s depressing to see Kindle pricing creep up while the Oasis hasn’t even gotten USB-C

  10. @GaryJohnWalker1

    October 16, 2024 at 6:43 pm

    I’d like to just try a text book with colour plates on the colorsoft thing

  11. @hitchjack

    October 16, 2024 at 6:48 pm

    I don’t know anything about kindles… but reading the comments I feel like Amazon should have consulted their users and made a new oasis with usb-c, that seems to be what everyone wants!

    Unnecessary to have a color kindle and on top of that 280$- Straight No. I am happy with my Kindle Paperwhite.

    I like the new color on the basic Kindle, and that the bezel matches the back is a great touch. That’s something I’d like to see them do with the Fire tablets. A few generations ago, they had a white Fire with white bezels. But nothing like it since.

  14. @4000Wiggins

    October 16, 2024 at 7:38 pm

    I really have no interest in a color kindle. But the new paper white got my interest piqued.

  15. @Hobbyist.Photographer.

    October 16, 2024 at 7:50 pm

    What’s with that annoying flashing every time you touch the screen?? I would get so annoyed with that. Can that be turned off or something?

  16. @chriswyatt9869

    October 16, 2024 at 7:50 pm

    I’m in the market for a new e reader. Having had my basic kindle from 2017, it’s showing its age with the PPI and slowness. Torn between staying with Amazon or moving to kobo. Dunno if any of these improvements (and their price increases) are worth it

  17. @JosephDickson

    October 16, 2024 at 8:12 pm

    Unfortunately I might have to consider one of these now that the Barnes and Noble Nook is getting old. I just wish it was a more “open and DRM free” friendly device.

  18. @LompoPlay

    October 16, 2024 at 8:26 pm

    Come on just give us an updated Oasis

  19. @saiphaneeshk.h.5482

    October 16, 2024 at 8:48 pm

    Ahhhh, that’s the reason the other models have been out of stock for so long.

    For these guys.

    Here’s the Kindle Colorsoft!
    Does it have page turn buttons?
    No
    Next….

    The best kindle is the IPad.

    BUT CAN YOU SCROLL???

  23. @zagohcap

    October 16, 2024 at 9:16 pm

    So basically the new Scribe is just a white sticker around the screen lol

  24. @bgfd1

    October 16, 2024 at 9:19 pm

    I’m sticking with my KIndle Oasis because of the physical page turn buttons.

    Still waiting for a 2nd gen Voyage that will never happen
