Amazon has completely redesigned the Kindle lineup with flush-front, edge-to-edge displays and colors that wrap around the devices. The new reverse-stack display removes the raised bezel, creating a cleaner look while helping make Kindles thinner and lighter. The rollout has already started; some models are shipping now, the Paperwhite and Colorsoft are entering preorder availability.
Amazon unveiled a completely redesigned Kindle lineup today, and every model has a flush-front, edge-to-edge display with color that wraps from front to back. The biggest visual change is the new flush-front display. Amazon says it developed a new reverse-stack display construction that removes the raised bezel around the reading surface.
The $150 six-inch Kindle is now the smallest Kindle Amazon has made. It gets 16GB of storage, up to six weeks of battery life, and opens books 30 percent faster. The $200 Kindle Paperwhite retains its waterproof build and promises up to 12 weeks of battery life. The $290 Kindle Colorsoft uses nitride LEDs, an oxide backplane, and custom display waveforms to improve brightness, color, and contrast.
Amazon is also introducing Kindle Click, a Bluetooth remote that lets you turn pages without touching the reader, plus a magnetic cover with physical page-turn buttons. The power button has moved to the upper-right edge for more natural one-handed use.
