Kindle Scribe Colorsoft Fig: Release Date & Delay News
It is the most beautiful Kindle ever made, and it is also the hardest to find. While the standard Graphite model of the new 2025 Scribe is shipping now, the premium **kindle scribe colorsoft fig** edition has hit a snag. This stunning reddish-purple colorway has captured the hearts of digital planners and book lovers alike, but inventory shortages have pushed delivery dates well into 2026. In this update, we track the official stock status and help you decide if the unique color is worth the wait.
Official Shipping Timeline (2025-2026)
Amazon has officially split the release dates for the two colorways. This is likely due to manufacturing constraints on the colored anodized aluminum chassis.
| Model | Color | Est. Shipping |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Scribe | Graphite (Grey) | In Stock (Dec 10, 2025) |
| Scribe Colorsoft | Graphite (Grey) | In Stock (Dec 12, 2025) |
| Scribe Colorsoft | Fig (Purple) | Delayed (Jan 15, 2026) |
Fig vs. Graphite: What’s The Difference?
Many users are asking if there are internal differences. The answer is no. The difference is purely aesthetic.
The Graphite Look
This is the classic Amazon “Kindle Grey.” It is professional, understated, and matches the black borders of the screen perfectly. It blends in at a boardroom table.
The Fig Look
The “Fig” color is a deep, rich burgundy with purple undertones. It is similar to the “Bordeaux” color used on high-end luxury leather goods. It gives the device a much more personal, journal-like feel compared to the sterile grey of the Graphite model. It pairs exceptionally well with the new premium leather covers.
Where To Buy (In Stock Links)
Currently, you can place a backorder to secure your place in line. We recommend ordering directly from Amazon, as they prioritize their own warehouse shipments over Best Buy or Target.
Is It Worth The Wait?
If you need a device right now for the start of the 2026 school year or work quarter, we recommend buying the Graphite model. You can always put a “Fig” colored case on it later.
However, if you are buying this as a long-term keeper device, the **kindle scribe colorsoft fig** is unique. Electronics are rarely offered in such interesting colors. If you can wait until mid-January, the Fig model will likely hold its resale value better due to its rarity and unique aesthetic.
