Amazon's Prime Day 2025 sees discounts on Kindle e-readers
Amazon has announced updates to its Kindle e-reader lineup, introducing the 11th Generation Kindle, the Kindle Paperwhite 12th Generation, and the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition 12th Generation. Each device offers unique features tailored for a seamless and enjoyable reading experience.
Kindle 11th Generation (2024 Update)
The updated 11th Generation Kindle boasts an improved display with brighter LEDs, offering a more vivid reading experience. Although the device retains standard storage and features, it remains an excellent entry-level e-reader.
Kindle Paperwhite 12th Generation
The Kindle Paperwhite 12th Generation features a larger 7-inch, 300 ppi screen, delivering higher speed and contrast compared to its predecessor. With a resolution of 1264 x 1680 pixels, it promises a sharper and more immersive reading experience. This model offers a 16 GB storage capacity and is available in multiple colours.
Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition 12th Generation
The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition 12th Generation takes the Paperwhite experience to the next level. It boasts 32 GB storage, double that of the standard Paperwhite, and additional features such as wireless charging and enhanced waterproofing, making it Amazon’s premium Kindle model for 2024-25.
Additional Features
All devices focus on providing a distraction-free reading experience, without apps like social media, and support adjustable warm light for comfortable reading in any lighting condition.
Kindle Colorsoft - A New Colour E-Reader
Although not part of the updated lineup, the Kindle Colorsoft is a new colour e-reader designed specifically for reading e-books, comics, magazines, manga, and webtoons. Powered by a dual-core 2GHz MediaTek processor, 1GB of RAM, and 32GB of internal storage, it promises quick performance and ample space for your reading library. The Kindle Colorsoft features quick charging with an optional dock and is rated to provide approximately eight weeks of light reading on a 2310 mAh battery.
Waterproof Ratings
The Kindle Colorsoft is rated IPX8 and can withstand immersion in up to 2 meters of fresh water for up to 60 minutes and 0.25 meters for 3 minutes in seawater. The Kindle Paperwhite 12th Generation, on the other hand, has an IPX8 waterproof rating for freshwater immersion only. The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, however, boasts an IP67 rating, making it more resistant to accidental saltwater immersion.
In conclusion, Amazon’s updated Kindle lineup offers a variety of options for readers, each with its unique features and specifications. Whether you’re looking for an entry-level e-reader, a colour e-reader, or a premium device with additional features, Amazon has a Kindle to suit your needs.
