Amazon has dropped a shole lot of changes to their full Kindle lineup range. We have tested and loved some previous Kindles, so I am excited to test out and see what these new models have to offer!
The all-new 6-inch Kindle is the most pocket-sized Kindle. With 16GB of storage, up to six weeks of battery life, and 30% faster book opening then the previous lineup, it features the new seamless flush-front design. The all-new Kindle starts at NZ$339 and is available in Ube and Graphite.
The 6-inch Kindle is also available for the first time with an aluminium back – same pocket-sized form factor, same flush-front display, but with a premium feel you notice the moment you pick it up.
The aluminium Kindle has 32GB of storage and is available in two colours, Alpine Sky and Seaglass Green at NZ$364.
The all-new Kindle Paperwhite is thinner and lighter than the previous lineup, waterproof with an adjustable warm light for comfortable reading at any hour, and up to 12 weeks of battery life on a single charge.
The Signature Edition adds aluminium rear housing, 32GB of storage, an auto-adjusting front light, dock charging via pogo pins, and double tap to turn pages.
Available with 16GB of storage, the new Kindle Paperwhite is available in Graphite, starting at NZ$449. Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition is available in Graphite and Seaglass Green at NZ$489.
Kindle Colorsoft delivers richer, paper-like colour
The new Kindle Colorsoft delivers paper-like colour that’s easy on the eyes without the harsh glare of a tablet. Whether you’re scrolling through colourful covers in your library or flipping through a travel guide, comic, or graphic novel, the display makes colour reading feel natural.
Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition adds aluminium housing, 32GB of storage, an auto adjusting front light, double tap to turn pages, and dock charging via pogo pins.
Available with 16GB of storage, Kindle Colorsoft is available in Graphite, starting at NZ$549. Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition is available in Graphite and Fig at NZ$609.

- Page-Turn Cover (NZ$149.95): A magnetic cover with physical page-turn buttons that preserves the slim form factor, using pogo-pin connectivity. Available for Paperwhite Signature Edition and Colorsoft Signature Edition.
