Amazon Adds Dark Mode and New Notebook Tools to Kindle Colorsoft Line

The staged rollout narrows a feature gap on Amazon’s color Kindles.

Overview

  • Amazon announced a software update that brings system-wide dark mode to the Kindle Colorsoft and Scribe Colorsoft.
  • Users can set dark mode by area, such as keeping the library dark while leaving notebooks light.
  • The update adds Smart Shapes and a hold-to-snap tool that turn rough sketches into clean lines and basic shapes.
  • The software is rolling out over the next few days, and dark mode will appear in the Quick Actions menu once installed.
  • The changes close a gap with other Kindle models, though Engadget says Scribe note-taking still trails rival tablets.
