Amazon’s new Kindle Paperwhite e-reader has a large screen and turns the page quickly

Amazon’s latest version of the popular Kindle Paperwhite has arrived, marking the sixth iteration if you’re keeping score at home. The new model is the smallest white paper yet and has an updated 7-inch screen that is a touch larger than the previous 6.8-inch display. It also has the highest resolution of any Kindle thanks to oxide thin-film transistor display technology.

Amazon boosted the speed as well, promising 25 percent faster page turns. It is not as waterproof as before but uses a new material with a premium soft grip. The Kindle Paperwhite comes with 16 GB of storage and is available in three colors, Raspberry, Jade and Black. It is now available on Amazon for $160.

As before, the company has also released a premium version with more bells and whistles, the Paperwhite Signature Editing. Storage doubles on that model to 32 GB and features an auto-adjusting front light and optional wireless charging. The Paperwhite Signature Edition comes in Metallic Raspberry, Metallic Jade and Metallic Black for $200.

If it’s a budget reader you’re after, Amazon has updated the entry-level Kindle, too. The new 12th generation model comes with an updated 6-inch screen, which offers a higher contrast ratio for more readable text, and a 25 percent brighter front light compared to the highest setting. It also gets a performance update that improves page loading speed. It comes in black or the new “Matcha” color and is now on sale for $110.

Along with those models, Amazon also unveiled its first color Kindle, Colorsoft, which is perfect for graphic novels and other digital color-focused content. It promises “rich, paper-like color” using an oxide backplane display, as well as high contrast for both color and black-and-white content. Now pre-order for $280 and shipping is set for October 30th. Finally, Amazon is releasing its second Kindle Scribe reader that doubles as a note-taking tool (as opposed to re-notetable tablets). It will arrive on December 4, but you can pre-order it for $400.
