Amazon has launched its all-new Kindle Paperwhite in India, with upgraded features in speed, design, and functionality. Priced at ₹16,999 and available in Black on Amazon.in, the latest Kindle e-reader is the fastest ever and the thinnest Paperwhite to date, featuring the largest display for a Paperwhite at 7 inches. The device combines a lightweight design with 25% faster page turns and a battery life of up to 12 weeks with a single charge via USB-C. Purpose-built for reading, the new Kindle Paperwhite offers Indian customers access to a vast selection of over 1.5 crore titles available on Amazon.
“Kindle Paperwhite has been a popular choice among readers for years, and we’re excited to launch the all-new Kindle Paperwhite with upgraded features that our customers will value. Its fast performance, with 25% faster page turns, ensures customers never have a slow moment while reading. Its largest-ever display provides added reading comfort and its lightweight design makes it convenient to carry and read on-the-go,” says Dilip R.S., Director and Country Manager, Amazon Devices India. “We look forward to our customers unlocking stories from a vast selection of Indian and international titles available on Amazon with this latest Kindle.”
Built for better performance
The new Kindle Paperwhite comes with a powerful dual-core processor that offers smooth and fast performance with 25% faster page turns on the device. It also features improved keyword touch-response which allows customers to seamlessly navigate their Kindle device and easily browse through their libraries. With just a single charge via USB-C, customers can enjoy up to 12 weeks of battery life on their device.
Largest Paperwhite display and improved portability
The new Kindle Paperwhite features a 7-inch waterproof display—the largest for a Paperwhite—and narrower borders, offering a larger screen-to-body ratio for an enhanced reading experience. Its advanced display technology uses an oxide thin-film transistor that elevates the reading experience with sharper texts and images that pop off the screen.
It is also the thinnest Paperwhite yet and its lightweight design makes it convenient to carry anywhere. Its 300 ppi glare-free display reads like paper, even in bright light. With adjustable warm light and dark mode, readers can customise the display to their preference and comfortably enjoy reading their books, whether they’re out and about in sunlight or in a dimly-lit space. Also, its 16GB storage capacity ensures customers have enough room to store and access thousands of books on-the-go.
Purpose-built for uninterrupted reading with customer-favourite features
Kindle Paperwhite has been built on Amazon’s vision to give customers a purpose-built reading device, so they can escape from distractions like e-mails, texts, and social media, and truly get immersed in an author’s story. It is packed with features that customers know and love about the reading experience on a Kindle. Some customer favourites, like X-Ray, provide important details about people or places mentioned in a book and a built-in dictionary to quickly look up any words and translations. For those learning a new language, Word Wise provides short, simple definitions that automatically appear above difficult words to help customers keep reading without having to look elsewhere for meanings.
The setup process on the Kindle app has been simplified for iOS and Android, offering an option to register the device in fewer steps and jump into a book even faster.
Access to the world’s best eBook store
With the new Kindle Paperwhite, customers can explore Amazon's vast selection of over 1.5 crore titles worldwide across genres. They can also enjoy eBooks in languages such as Hindi, Tamil, and Marathi, among others. Kindle Unlimited subscribers also benefit from unlimited access to over 20 lakh eBooks. Amazon Prime members can access a rotating catalogue of select eBooks at no additional cost.
