One reason I am keeping my Nook GL4. I like to have a small reader and the page turn buttons are a requirement for me.

Yes, very dull and lackluster 2024 updates to their kindle lines this year if this is it.

Yeah have no idea why this would be a selling feature. Most don't turn them up all the way as is, they're plenty bright enough. Who knows.

Good spot! Yes, this page: https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Kindle...ode=6669702011 currently has a title that includes "Colorsoft", which is not a known product.

Amazon UK site currently shows NO Kindles for sale.

That looks like a colour screen ("Colorsoft") model with the same size screen as the new Paperwhite - so 6.8" or 7".

It also doesn't look like a Kaleido 3 colour screen. Gallery 3?

The Paperwhite image matches the the one of those eBay packages posted earlier. Has to be legit then.

It does seem that way.

Introducing Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition

The all-new Kindle Colorsoft brings color to Kindle without compromise. It has everything customers love about Kindle: high contrast, fast page turns, auto-adjusting front light, and weeks of battery life. It adds color that is vibrant yet easy on the eyes. Now, you can browse color book covers in your Library or Kindle Store, view photos and book images in color, or highlight text that you can easily search later.

Everything in the Kindle Colorsoft has been meticulously designed to offer rich, paper-like color. It uses a back layer of oxide with customized waveforms for fast performance and greater contrast in both color and black-and-white content. Its custom Colorsoft display includes a new light guide with nitride LEDs that, combined with our custom algorithms, enhances color and increases brightness, all without losing detail. You can zoom into images without worrying about pixelation, and you can choose between standard or vibrant color styles. The Kindle Colorsoft comes with wireless charging, up to eight weeks of battery life, and is waterproof, so you can take it with you to the bath or beach without worry.


The new Kindle Scribe, with writing on books and an integrated notebook powered by AI

The all-new Kindle Scribe combines all the benefits of a Kindle with a powerful note-taking device. The screen has new white edges and a smooth, paper-like texture that makes it feel like you’re writing on a sheet of paper. Additionally, with 300ppi, the text looks sharp and clear whether you’re writing or reading. The Premium Pen is finely crafted to provide the right weight and balance, making it feel like holding a real pen, and the new soft-tip eraser feels just like a pencil—you’ll think you need to clean the screen after erasing.

The new Kindle Scribe offers a first-of-its-kind writing experience on books and a more powerful note-taking experience. With Active Canvas, you can jot down your thoughts directly in the book when inspiration strikes. Your note becomes part of the page, and the book’s text dynamically flows around it; if you change the font size, style, or layout of the book, your note stays visible exactly where you want it, so you never lose any meaning or context. Soon, you’ll also be able to write notes in the sidebar and easily hide them when you’re done. The new integrated notebook with AI technology allows you to quickly summarize pages and pages of notes into concise points with a handwritten-style font that can be shared directly from the notebook tab. You can also refine your notes into a legible handwritten-style font, maintaining the look and feel of handwriting. Currently, this functionality is only available in English.


The Fastest Kindle Yet: The All-New Kindle Paperwhite

Since its debut in 2012, customers have made the Kindle Paperwhite our best-selling Kindle device, and the all-new Kindle Paperwhite is the fastest yet. Scrolling through your Library or Kindle Store is smooth and responsive, and page turns are 25% faster. The screen uses an oxide thin-film transistor that gives it the highest contrast ratio of any Kindle, making text and images stand out on the display. A larger seven-inch screen is a first for the Kindle Paperwhite, and yet it’s also the thinnest Paperwhite to date, with up to three months of battery life.

The Kindle Paperwhite is waterproof, with 16GB of storage for thousands of books, and is available in Raspberry, Jade Green, and Charcoal. The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, which comes with 32GB of storage, optional wireless charging, and an auto-adjusting front light, is available in Metallic Raspberry, Metallic Jade Green, and Metallic Charcoal.


The New Kindle—Our Most Compact Kindle, Now in Matcha Color

Weighing only 5.6 ounces, the new entry-level Kindle is small enough to fit in your hand or your back pocket, and it’s equipped with premium Kindle features. It has a 300ppi glare-free screen, faster page turns, a higher contrast ratio, and a front light that is 25% brighter at maximum settings, just as bright as the Kindle Paperwhite. It comes in a new, fun Matcha color, offers weeks of battery life on a single charge, and has 16GB of storage to hold thousands of books, making it the perfect device for reading wherever you go during the day.
