Known as the Kindle Scribe, the 10.2-inch e-reader comes with a pen that lets people write notes on books and doodle on. The tech giant noted that the pen does not require charging and can be used to mark up PDFs and other documents, as well as books. It also magnetically snaps on the body of the reader.
In addition, Amazon (AMZN) said documents can be sent straight to a person's phone and that Microsoft (MSFT) Word support would be coming next year.
The new Kindle Scribe is available for pre-order starting today and sells for $339.99 and comes with a four-month subscription to Kindle Unlimited, Amazon's subscription service for eBooks.
Amazon also showed off the Halo Rise, a bedside clock and sleep tracker.
The new device comes with a built-in light to simulate being awoken by the sun and does not need to be charged. It also provides users with a sleep score and can help determine a person's sleep phases.
The device costs $139.99 and is available for pre-order soon and comes with a six-month Halo membership.
The Andy Jassy-led Amazon (AMZN) also showed off new additions to the Echo line of products, including the $199.99 Echo Studio.
