\"61M3aGKWW-L._SL1000_\"New Kindles are coming soon. Amazon unveiled its latest this week, as its baseline model\u00a0joined the Kindle Oasis in Amazon’s 8th generation of e-readers. The new Kindle — and the pricier Paperwhite — will also be available in white.\u00a0It’s the first time Amazon has offered a white Kindle since the Kindle Keyboard all the way back in 2010.<\/p>\n

The new Kindle will cost the same as its predecessor, but has twice as much memory which should make things a bit faster. It’s also 11% thinner and 16% lighter than the outgoing Kindle, with a more rounded look and feel.<\/p>\n

The vanilla Kindle has a touchscreen, but lacks the high-DPI screen of the Kindle Paperwhite. Battery life remains at ‘weeks’, although as usual Amazon haven’t nailed this down with any particular precision.<\/p>\n

The current Kindle lineup now looks like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Kindle<\/td>\nWhite
\nBlack<\/td>\n		\u00a359 (with ads)
\n\u00a369 (no ads)<\/td>\n		July 20th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Kindle Paperwhite<\/td>\nWhite
\nBlack<\/td>\n		\u00a3109 (with ads)
\n\u00a3119 (no ads)<\/td>\n		June 30th<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Kindle Voyage<\/td>\nBlack<\/td>\n\u00a3169 (no 3G)
\n\u00a3229 (with 3G)<\/td>\n		Now<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Kindle Oasis<\/td>\nBlack<\/td>\n\u00a3269 (no 3G)
\n\u00a3329 (with 3G)<\/td>\n		Now<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

It’s a sensible move from Amazon, and if you’re looking to pick up an e-reader then it makes a lot of sense to wait for the upgraded model. Of course, Amazon are also happy to sell you the older version if you don’t want to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n
