Amazon announced its Kindle 2022 with a redesigned look, sharper display and USB-C charging. The latest entry-level Kindle gets much of the features found on the more expensive Paperwhite model such as a 300ppi front-lit E ink display that measures 6-inches. The new Kindle is slightly smaller than the Paperwhite model at 157.8 x 108.6 x 8.0 mm and weighs 158 grams.
Amazon is doubling the storage built-in
storage from 8GB to 16GB storage while battery life is rated at up to 6 weeks
with 30 minutes of reading per day and wireless connectivity switched off.
Charging happens via USB-C now which is a welcome improvement over the previous
entry-level Kindle. Amazon also boasts 30-75% recycled plastics and 90%
recycled magnesium in the latest Kindle.
Amazon Kindle 2022 comes in Black and
Denim blue colors and retails for US$ 99.99/€ 99.99/£ 84.99 with ads and US$ 119.99/€ 109.99/£ 94.99 without ads. You can pre-order one from Amazon today via
