## What reviewers say

Three whitelisted testers (Engadget, Tom's Guide, TechRadar) reviewed the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft (2025) hands-on; all praise it as the best, most capable Kindle yet with a large, sharp 11-inch color screen, but every one flags the ~$629 price. Two also call out clunky in-text annotation. Engadget withheld a numeric score pending longer battery testing. No RTINGS/Verge/PCMag review found. (Based on 3 reviews, 3 lab-tested, 2025-12-10–2026-06-02.)

Praised: Large 11-inch e-paper screen is sharp and easy to read on; Comfortable Premium Pen with smooth writing/notetaking; Color unlocks reading comics/manga and note colors.
Flagged: Very high price (~$629); costs more than an iPad Air yet does less; In-text annotation/markup still awkward and unintuitive; Color looks muted, not truly vibrant even in Vivid mode; No waterproofing.
Disagreement: Battery life split: TechRadar gave battery 5/5 and got nearly a month at ~1 hr/day over a four-week test, while Engadget observed a ~20% drop in two days and doubted it would last multiple weeks (its testing was incomplete, so no score assigned). Tom's Guide did not independently measure battery; its spec sheet only cites Amazon's 'up to 8 weeks reading' claim.
