Amazon has updated its Kindle, Paperwhite and Colorsoft e-readers with thinner, lighter designs, faster page turns, and optional aluminum bodies made from 80% recycled metal. Prices range from $150 for the base Kindle to $320 for the top Colorsoft Signature Edition, with new accessories including a $60 charging dock, an $80 page-turn cover, and a $35 Bluetooth remote called Kindle Click.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The redesign, arriving ahead of Kindle's 20th anniversary, suggests Amazon is trying to keep the aging product line feeling premium as tablets and phones compete for reading attention. Reviving physical page-turn buttons through paid accessories rather than built-in hardware could be read as a way to boost accessory revenue while still addressing user demand for tactile controls.
