Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) introduced its latest lineup of Kindle devices, including the first-ever color Kindle and the Kindle Scribe, a new e-reader with a stylus.

What Happened: Amazon has unveiled its new range of Kindle devices, including the first-ever color Kindle, the Kindle Scribe, and the Kindle Paperwhite entry, announced the company in a release on Wednesday.

The new Kindle devices are designed to provide a more immersive reading experience, with the color Kindle offering a high-resolution display and a built-in adjustable light.
