With
stock
of
its
current
generation
of
e-readers
dwindling,
Amazon
is
expected
to
announce
new
Kindles
soon,
perhaps
as
early
as
next
week.
A
Spanish
retailer
has
a
listing
for
a
new
2024
version
of
the
entry-level
Kindle
with
a
release
date
listed
as
September
30th,
as
spotted
by
Good
e-Reader.
The
new
Kindle
will
have
a
six-inch,
300ppi
screen
with
improved
contrast
and
a
backlight
that’s
25
percent
brighter
than
the
model
Amazon
released
two
years
ago.
It
will
also
offer
faster
page
turns
and
a
new
dark
mode
that
inverts
its
monochromatic
E
Ink
screen,
but
there’s
no
mention
of
it
having
warm
screen
lighting
or
whether
it
will
feature
the
improved
E
Ink
Carta
1200
screen
that
Amazon
used
on
the
11th-gen
Kindle
Paperwhite
that
debuted
in
2021.

The
new
12th-gen
Kindle
will
be
slightly
lighter
than
its
predecessor
—
154
grams
compared
to
158
grams
—
and
will
include
Bluetooth,
Wi-Fi,
a
USB-C
port,
16GB
of
storage,
and
a
battery
that’s
claimed
to
last
for
up
to
eight
weeks
per
charge.
It
will
be
available
in
at
least
two
color
options:
black
and
matcha
green.
MediaMarkt
has
it
listed
for €119,
but
the
retailer
doesn’t
mention
if
that’s
with
or
without
ads.
When
the
11th-gen
Kindle
debuted
two
years
ago,
it
sold
for
$99.99
with
lockscreen
ads
or
for
$119.99
without
them.
