Amazon quietly unveiled a slight refresh
of the 2018 Kindle Paperwhite e-reader – two new paint jobs. The e-reader
originally launched in Black, then in 2019 a Twilight Blue color was added. Now
the color choices have doubled.
The new hues are dubbed Sage (greenish)
and Plum (a purplish color). This mostly matters if your Kindle is in the buff,
as the front of the device remains black. Cases are not mandatory as the device
is reasonably tough, but it’s something to keep in mind if you do use one.
Unfortunately, the new additions to the
color palette don’t coincide with a promo deal, meaning that you’re looking at
the full US$ 130 for the 8GB model and US$ 160 for the 32 GB one (with Special
Offers, aka ads). Note that this applies only to the Wi-Fi model, the Wi-Fi +
Cellular is still available in Black only.
Below you’ll find links to the US, UK and
German stores. The Plum, Sage and Blue colors are not available in Canada or
India.
