Kindle Reader New Version

The Kindle reader new version is now available. Or really we should say new Kindle reader versions. We have 2 new readers as well as a Kindle Tablet, the Kindle Fire. You can read about the Kindle Fire here, in this article we will take a look at the two new Kindle readers.

At the top of the page you can use the links to read more information about each option but we will do a quick re-cap of just what the new releases actually are. One thing is for sure and that is that the prices are incredible, we couldn’t quite believe it actually.

Kindle 4

The Kindle 4 is what is now the common name for the smaller new Kindle. It no longer has a keypad, just navigation buttons as you can see in the left hand image. At $79 for the ad supported option sales are through the roof. This is a perfect option for anyone that wants a device that can fit in pockets and to take basically everywhere. 6 oz makes it so light you won’t even know it is there.

1 month battery life and the ability to store 1500 books makes it incredible value.

Not to say the the Kindle Touch reader isn’t amazing too.

Kindle Touch Reader

The Kindle Touch reader takes us a step further. Still an amazing deal at $99 for the ad supported version it has a 2 month batter life and can store 3,000 books!

We simply use the screen to navigate back and forth or to go to the home menu. We can buy ad or non-ad supported formats and there is a choice of wi-fi only or wi-fi and 3G.

Use the links at the top of our page to read about them in depth.

Below is the original written article when everything was still unknown and it was all speculation on our part and everyone else’s too.

As usual there have been even more rumors of late about just what the Kindle Reader new version is going to be and when it is going to be released. Although not so long ago we did believe that the new version Kindle reader and Kindle tablet was going to be out by August it now seems that the date has changed somewhat and we may now be looking at an October release if we are lucky.

If anything is heard then you will certainly be the first to know.

So, what is the latest on what we can expect?

New Version Kindle Reader

It is now very likely that the new version of the Kindle is going to come with at least a partial touch screen. Just enough to make some simple navigation very fast and efficient. This is actually about all that we will need, a simple touch screen navigation bar, although for many the opportunity to have a popup touch screen for typing would be very welcome as well.

But we are going to have to wait just a little longer to see what the exact specs are going to be, Amazon are keeping very tight-lipped about the whole thing, which is actually hardly surprising is it?

We all love how light the Kindle reader is so we don’t want too much in the way of gimmicks that can add weight to the device and a small addition of a touch screen section is not going to make much difference. Color may still be an option although it is now seeming more and more likely that this is going to be a part of the new Amazon tablet release this year.
