Amazon has just taken the wraps off a vastly upgraded new Kindle e-book reader priced at only $99.99 and a kid-friendly version fetching $20 more.
Because they can only do so many things, e-book readers are generally not refreshed quite as often as full-featured tablets, let alone your everyday Android smartphone.
Amazon's always popular entry-level Kindle, for instance, got a sleek new design all the way back in 2016 and a nice and cool front light in 2019, which made many of the company's hardcore fans expect another upgrade this year.ahead of a proper release next month. Naturally, you can already pre-order the"lightest and most compact" Kindle to date starting at $99.99.
If anything, we're surprised this latest base Kindle is not costlier with a significantly higher-res display, better battery life, faster charging, and double the internal storage space of its 2019-released forerunner.Kindle Paperwhite from just last yearOf course, the Paperwhite does retain a few key advantages over its smaller and younger brother, offering a little extra screen real estate, even more battery life, and perhaps most importantly, adjustable warm light technology.
Still, with 16 gigs of digital hoarding room, a premium 6-inch glare-free display, up to six weeks of endurance between charges, a basic built-in adjustable front light, a newly added dark mode feature, a thinner-than-ever 8mm profile, and a lightweight 158-gram body, the upgraded low-cost Kindle looks like an amazing bargain on paper... even before Amazon inevitably reduces its price for various sales events.
Speaking of, the now previous-generation Kindle is currently marked down by 25 bucks from a list price of $89.99, which is a pretty good discount but likely to get even better in time for the upcoming holiday season.
