Update Overview

Amazon announced a software update for both the Kindle Colorsoft and Kindle Scribe Colorsoft that introduces dark mode and new note‑taking tools.

Dark Mode Feature

• Users can toggle dark mode for specific menus on each device, allowing combinations such as a dark library with a light notebook.
• This option has been available on many other Kindle devices, and its addition addresses a long‑standing omission.

Smart Shapes Feature

• The update adds Smart Shapes to notebooks, letting users insert pre‑drawn lines, arrows, circles, triangles, and rectangles from the toolbar.
• A hold‑to‑snap tool enables freehand drawing that automatically snaps into a tidy shape, helping users enhance their notes with simple graphics.

Rollout and Reception

• The update will roll out across the Kindle ecosystem over the next few days.
• Reviewers note that while the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft is a solid e‑reader, it still lags behind competitors in certain areas.
