Amazon renewes its monochrome Kindle lineup, including a hugeger Paperwhite

The novel Kindle Scribe commences shipping on December 4 and commences at $399.99. This is a hefty incrrelieve over the first Scribe’s $339.99 commenceing price, though the novel Scribe does include the Premium Pen accessory by default. The elderly Scribe came with a affordableer Basic Pen accessory instead.

The Kindle Paperwhite has been the mainstream default-choice Kindle since the very first one came out in 2012, and the novel model persists in that tradition. It has a 7-inch screen, sweightlessly incrrelieved from the previous-generation 2021 Paperwhite’s 6.8 inches, with betterd contrast thanks to “an oxide skinny-film transistor.” Amazon also says page turns should be 25 percent rapider than on the previous model.

The novel Paperwhite also inherits other pleasantties from elderlyer models: waterproofing, a USB-C port, and an even front weightless with adfairable luminousness and color temperature.

The standard Paperwhite commences at $159.99 for 16 GB of storage and is useable commenceing today. This is a $20 incrrelieve over the 2021 model, though it also doubles the storage. Amazon will persist to propose a Signature Edition of the Paperwhite commenceing at $199.99 with 32 GB of storage, a sensor for automatic luminousness and color temperature adfairments, and wireless charging.

The fundamental Kindle may be the least-upgraded of the three. Most of the core specs remain the same as they were for the overhauled 2022 renew: a 6-inch 300 PPI screen, a weight of fair 5.56 ounces (158 g), and a USB-C port with fundamental water intrusion uncoverion. It’s still not waterproof, but Amazon says the novel version proposes rapider page turns, better contrast, and a 25 percent luminoincluder front weightless that can now align the Paperwhite’s luminousness (though not the number of LEDs, the toasty weightless, or the automatic luminousness or color temperature sensors).

The fundamental Kindle still has 16GB of inside storage and proposes “weeks” of battery life. Like the Paperwhite, it’s useable to order today, and it’s getting a minuscule price incrrelieve, from $100 to $109.99.

Both the Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite also come in Kindle Kids editions with two-year authorizationies, colorful cases, and a six-month subscription to Amazon’s Kids+ service. These upgrades usupartner insert $20 to the prices of both models.
