Amazon’s new Kindle has 300 ppi display, USB-C charging and more storage

Yes, please.

Amazon today announced its newest Kindle, offering up a high-resolution display with more storage and the ability to charge over USB-C.

“Priced at $179 AUD/$199 NZD, the new Kindle delivers premium features at an affordable price, including a 300 ppi high-resolution 6-inch display, USB-C charging, longer battery life of up to six weeks, and room for thousands of books with twice the storage,” the company said in a press release.

Said storage amounds to 16GB of space for your books and comics, and that’s coupled with “a 15cm, glare-free, 300 ppi high-resolution display with three times more pixels” to read from.

Pre-orders are open today, and units will begin shipping out to customers from 12 October. The new Kindle comes in Black or Demin colouring; new fabric covers come in Black, Rose, Denim and Dark Emerald and will set you back $49.95 AUD or $54.95 NZD.

About the author

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
