Amazon Kindle (the entry-level)
Back in April Amazon unveiled the
high-end (and expensive) Kindle Oasis, and today the company has refreshed the
exact other end of its e-reader spectrum - namely, the entry-level Kindle.
The new generation still starts at US$ 79.99 (with ads), but it's 11% thinner and 16% lighter than the previous
model. It's also got more built-in storage, now 4 GB, and Bluetooth Audio which
means you can use the VoiceView screen reader. Finally, the new Kindle is now
available in white too, alongside the classic black color.
Other things haven't changed, as the
e-reader keeps the 6" 167 ppi E Ink display from its predecessor, and a
single battery charge should last you up to four weeks.
The new Kindle is up for pre-order
already, and it will start shipping on July 7.
