TL;DR Amazon is launching its Fig colorway for the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft on January 28, 2026.
The new finish applies to the front-lit Colorsoft model, available in 32GB and 64GB configurations.
This is a design update only, with no changes to hardware, specs, or features.
Good news for anyone who wants a Kindle Scribe Colorsoft that’s a little more colorful. Amazon’s largest note-taking e-reader will soon be available in Fig, a warm berry-toned color that lands somewhere between plum and deep cranberry. It’s a fairly refined colorway that offers a little more personality than the standard Graphite without being overly bold.
The Kindle Scribe Colorsoft first debuted in the US on December 10, 2025, introducing Amazon’s latest generation of the Scribe lineup with an 11-inch color E Ink display, adjustable front light, and improved performance. Since launch, the Colorsoft model has been available in a single utilitarian gray (Graphite) from Amazon and major retailers.

The style is limited to the front-lit Kindle Scribe Colorsoft and is available in 32GB and 64GB storage options.
