Amazon has introduced a new generation of Kindle e-readers that brings more noticeable design changes than typical for the product line, according to a report from The Verge.
The updated base Kindle, Kindle Paperwhite, and Kindle Colorsoft are each about a millimeter thinner than their predecessors and open books roughly 30 percent faster. The devices also relocate their power buttons from the bottom edge to the right side.
Alongside the new colors introduced across the lineup, Amazon is also releasing a case accessory featuring physical page-turn buttons, offering an alternative to touchscreen-only navigation for readers who prefer tactile controls.
Pricing and full availability details for the new Kindle models and case were not included in the available reporting.
