Amazon’s Kindle 2022 Is Lighter, Brighter and Lasts Longer Than its Predecessor
Amazon’s starter Kindle gets a remake, and it’s brighter, lighter and holds more e-books than before. Pre-orders are open now and the item ships on October 12, so make sure to snag your e-reader just in time for the gifting season.
The new Kindle 2022 has a 6-inch 300 PPI display — in comparison, the 2019 Kindle had a 167 ppi display, so the newest model is almost two times brighter. It’s also significantly lighter, weighing just about 158 grams.
