For nighttime Kindle users and those who prefer dark mode on their devices, an exciting and much-anticipated feature is on its way to Kindle Colorsoft e-readers. This new dark mode option will be available on Kindle Colorsoft, Colorsoft Signature Edition, and Scribe Colorsoft models in the upcoming weeks. This enhancement caters to users who enjoy reading in low-light environments, providing a more comfortable and eye-friendly experience.

Furthermore, users will have the flexibility to customize the dark mode settings. For instance, you can enable dark mode for your home screen, library, and settings while keeping your notebooks in light mode. Once this feature is activated on your device, you will find it conveniently located on the Quick Actions screen of your Kindle, allowing for easy access and personalization.

In addition to the highly anticipated dark mode, Amazon is also introducing Smart Shapes within notebooks on Kindle Scribes. This innovative feature allows users to create structured lines and shapes in their drawings, enhancing the overall drawing experience. When you draw freehand, your sketches will automatically snap to form straight lines, making it easier to achieve precise designs on your Kindle Scribe.
The Smart Shapes feature is set to enhance creativity for users of Kindle Scribe e-readers by transforming freehand drawings into neat, precise lines.

Both the dark mode and Smart Shapes features will be available to users globally. Although Amazon has not specified an exact rollout date, they have indicated that these features will be “rolled out in the coming weeks.” To make use of these enhancements, users will need to install the latest software update, which can be accessed here. If you own one of the Kindle models that Amazon plans to discontinue in May 2026, this could be an ideal opportunity to consider upgrading to the latest technology.
