Amazon renews the Kindle range with frameless screens, aluminum finishes and prices from 154.99 euros

Amazon has announced a complete renewal of your e-book catalog. It does this by updating the Kindle, Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Colorsoft at the same time. One of the main points of this new generation is that the raised edges are now eliminated and make way for a completely flush surface.

This is the new 6-inch Kindle

Let’s start with the most basic model, which is 6 inches. According to Amazon, this new model optimizes performance and accelerates the opening of books by 30% compared to the previous generation. Without a doubt, we cannot think of a better KPI than this to evaluate the performance of a ebook.

In addition, this version that we can call standard has 16 GB of storage, up to six weeks of autonomy and a battery made completely recycled. For this compact format, Amazon introduces for the first time a variant with an aluminum back 32 GB that seeks to offer a more resistant or robust feeling.

Like the standard model in ube purple and graphite tones, the metallic edition dispenses with any plastic border on the front frame. With this differentiation of materials, the basic range diversifies its proposal towards a more premium segment without losing this compact and light spirit of the basic model.

There is also news for the Kindle Paperwhite and Colorsoft

The rest of the range also catches up. The new Kindle Paperwhite is thinner and reduces overall weight while integrating the larger screen. The panel, which is 7 inches, appreciably improves the contrast ratio to better define fonts and adds a self-regulating warm light. In terms of autonomy, Amazon says it reaches up to 12 weeks of continuous operation. For those who prefer a more premium finish, the Signature Edition adds an aluminum back cover with 32 GB, wireless charging and double-tap page turning.

And what about the Kindle Colorsoft? This uses for the first time a light guide with nitride LED diodes. This system is combined with an oxide backplate and micro baffles. What all this technology does is mitigate light dispersion without saturating the tones of comics or guides. In other words, now color screen reproduces a paper-like visual textureavoiding the usual reflections on conventional screens.

Official prices, availability and new accessories with physical buttons

Along with the renewal of the readers, the brand has presented a line of accessories aimed at facilitating reading and operation with one hand. Among them, the Kindle Click caught our attention, a small wireless Bluetooth remote control for turning pages remotely, compatible with terminals from 2024.

In addition, The catalog includes a magnetic case with physical buttons for 79.99 euros designed for the Signature Edition versions, accompanied by vertical charging bases and textile or synthetic leather protectors.
