Amazon says the new Kindle delivers premium features at an affordable price, including a 300ppi high-resolution display and room for thousands of books with twice the storage.
The all-new Kindle has been built with 90% recycled magnesium, while Kindle accessory covers feature packaging made from 99% wood fibre-based materials.
Amazon has announced the next generation of Kindle, it’s lightest and smallest yet.
The online retail giant says the new Kindle will deliver premium features at an affordable price, including a 300ppi high-resolution 6-inch display, USB-C charging, longer battery life of up to six weeks, and room for thousands of books with twice the storage.
“The beauty of Kindle is its simplicity as a dedicated device for distraction-free reading; tune out messages, emails and social media and get lost in your story,” says Patrick Walker, Country Manager for Amazon Devices, Australia New Zealand.
“With a high-resolution display that delivers three times more pixels than the previous base Kindle, USB-C charging, 16GB of storage, and built-in adjustable front light, the new ultralight Kindle is the latest example of how we continue to bring premium features to our entry-level devices for even more customers to enjoy.”
The Kindle’s all-new high-resolution display features three times more pixels for laser-quality text and sharp images that read like paper. Dark mode and an adjustable front light provide a comfortable reading experience in all conditions, including bright sunlight or no light at all.
The device comes packed with customer favourites like X-Ray which provides important details about people or places mentioned in a book, and a built-in dictionary to quickly look up any word. Simplified setup on the Kindle app for iOS and Android offers an option to register the device in fewer steps and to jump into a book even faster.
The all-new Kindle is the lightest and most compact model available: easily carried in a pocket, and comfortable to read with one-handed for even longer. Longer battery life of up to six weeks maximizes the time you can spend reading, and the USB-C port makes charging easier than ever. The all-new Kindle also comes with 16GB of storage: twice the storage of the previous generation and enough to hold thousands of titles.
The latest Kindle has also been designed with sustainability in mind and has been built with 90% recycled magnesium. Kindle accessory covers follow suit with packaging made from 99% wood fibre-based materials.
