No one does e-readers quite like Kindle, and just last week, the Amazon-owned brand announced four new models: the Colorsoft, the first-ever Kindle with color display, plus reimagined versions of the Kindle Scribe, Kindle Paperwrite and entry-level Kindle. Here’s a breakdown of each.

The star of the show, the Kindle Colorsoft, is available for pre-order now with an official release date of Oct. 30. The seven-inch display features paper-like color, a first for the brand. Not only are books in color, but highlighting is now in color too, where readers can mark standout sections in yellow, orange, blue and pink. The device is also glare-free, waterproof and a single charge lasts up to eight weeks. The Colorsoft is ideal for graphic novels and travel guides, and allows users to browse a library of colorful covers like never before.

For an e-reader and note-taking device in one, the new-and-improved Kindle Scribe is it. Available for pre-order now ahead of the Dec. 4 release, the upgraded Scribe allows users to annotate books and create meeting notes, write to-do lists, journal or sketch in the built-in notebook. Plus, the reimagined Premium Pen features a customizable shortcut button, a soft eraser and a tip that feels like writing on paper. It comes in 16, 32 and 64 GB versions.

Kindle’s Paperwhite has been the brand’s best-selling ebook reader since its debut in 2012, and the all-new model holds the title of fastest Kindle ever. It features a seven-inch display, larger than ever before. It’s also the thinnest Paperwhite in history and boasts up to three months of battery life. It’s available to purchase now and ships immediately.

Finally, the new entry-level Kindle is the lightest and most compact model, with a brighter front light, higher contrast ratio and faster speed. It comes in black and a new matcha color, both in-stock and ready to ship.
