After a few months in which the US has had them ahead of us, Amazon has now confirmed that the two most recent launches in its Kindle lineup, the refreshed 2025 Kindle Scribe and Kindle Scribe Colorsoft, are about to be available in the UK at last.
They’ll both hit Amazon UK on 8 April, and you can actually pre-order each one if you like, as of today. The new Kindle Scribe is here, while the Scribe Colorsoft is here.
If you’ve tapped on that second link, you’ll probably have instantly seen what is realistically the biggest factor when it comes to the Scribe Colorsoft – its absolutely whacking price, at £569.99. We knew it would be expensive since US pricing has been a matter of fact for months, but that’s still an awfully big wedge to drop on any Kindle, to be fair.

Frankly, even the standard Scribe requires a pretty hefty outlay at £449.99, but there’s no doubt that its redesign is a pretty massive success from where I’m sitting. It’s instantly modernised the Scribe very nicely, making the bezels the same size all around the screen to make it far more pleasing on the eye.
For those who want the Scribe experience for a bit less, Amazon says that a version of the Kindle Scribe without a front light is on its way, too, although it doesn’t have a precise launch date. It’ll start at £389.99, so you save £60 by skipping on the lighting (which might be quite a big compromise, to be honest).
