New base model features flush front

Paperwhite and Colorsoft get updates
The Kindle Paperwhite is thinner and lighter while lasting up to 12 weeks on a charge. The new Kindle Colorsoft comes in seven-inch versions with Signature Editions available for both the base and aluminum models.
Kids editions include special cases
Kids versions of the entire range feature artist-designed cases and a year of damage guarantee. These editions also provide unlimited access to child-appropriate books through the Kids+ subscription service.
