Amazon's Kindle Scribe gets a new look today, with a color model joining the lineup. The redesigned e-ink notepads are thinner, lighter and faster, Amazon says, and include an AI-powered search feature.

• A new front light system with miniaturized LEDs that fit tightly against the display to create a narrower bezel and uniform lighting.  

• A new texture-molded glass to improve the friction when the pen glides across the screen—unlike tablets that often feel slippery or glassy.

• A rearchitected display stack to shrink the parallax to virtually nothing, so it feels like writing directly on the page.

• A new quad-core chip, more memory, and our latest Oxide display technology to make everything feel snappier.

The improved writing and page turning latencies might not seem so important.
