Amazon announced a range of new devices, including Echo and a color Kindle.

Here is our complete list of all the new hardware Amazon revealed at its fall event, and one in particular that was our favorite.

Amazon recently announced a range of updated devices across its main product lines. The focus was on faster, more intelligent devices that utilize a more conversational "Alexa Plus" AI. Here’s a summary of the most significant announcements.

Ring & Blink Security: The new Ring Wired Doorbell Plus 2K and Blink Arc offer higher resolution with 2K and 4K cameras. Features include Ring’s Retinal Vision and a “Search Party” mode for locating pets.

Fire TV & Streaming: The updated TVs include the Fire TV Omni QLED Series, 4-Series, and 2-Series, all at more accessible prices. The new Fire TV Stick 4K Select uses the Vega OS.

Echo Speakers & Displays: The audio products now include the high-end Echo Studio and the bass-enhanced Echo Dot Max. Two new smart displays were also revealed: the Echo Show 11-inch and Echo Show 8-inch.

Kindle Scribe: The updated lineup features the base Kindle Scribe ($430), a front-lit model ($500), and the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft ($630). AI enhancements include "Story So Far" and improved note-taking.

This extensive update reflects Amazon’s plan to establish itself as the central, AI-driven hub for home connectivity. Amazon is building a closely linked ecosystem by incorporating Alexa Plus into security, entertainment, and productivity. While the Ring and Echo updates are good improvements, the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft stands out.

The Kindle Scribe Colorsoft is a notable move into a market that has been dominated by smaller brands. Amazon aims to create a new market for those seeking an eye-friendly tablet for comics, textbooks, and notes.

The updates to the Echo speakers and Fire TVs are typical annual improvements. However, the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft is a unique product. Although its $630 price may be a hurdle, it seems well-suited for students and professionals who regularly work with documents.

Also coming this fall is "Iconic Phones," a book that explores memorable phones from the past two decades, featuring illustrations. Sign up to secure an early discount price!
