Amazon Unveils 3 Kindle E-Readers, Starting at 255 Manats
“Amazon” released its updated lineup of e-readers on October 1, 2026. The lineup includes the 6-inch “Kindle,” 7-inch “Kindle Paperwhite” and 7-inch “Kindle Colorsoft.” All the devices have screens that sit flush with their bezels. Plastic and aluminum body options have been developed. The models also have special “Signature Edition” and children’s versions.
The base “Kindle” model with a plastic body has 16 GB of storage. The ad-supported version starts at $150 (approximately 255 manats). The device is 6.8 mm thick and weighs 140 g. Its battery lasts up to 6 weeks on a single charge. Books open 30% faster than on the previous model. The color options are “Ube” purple and “Graphite.” The ad-free aluminum version has 32 GB of storage and is 20 g heavier. It costs $190 (approximately 323 manats). The “Kindle Paperwhite” has 16 GB of storage, a water-resistant body and a warm light with adjustable color. Its high-contrast 7-inch screen makes it easier to read in sunlight. The device lasts up to 12 weeks on a single charge. The plastic version sells for $200 (approximately 340 manats). The “Signature Edition” model costs $250 (approximately 425 manats). This version has an aluminum body and 32 GB of storage. The screen light adjusts automatically, and pages can also be turned with a double tap. The “Kindle Colorsoft” uses a color screen. The image appears clearer because the screen extends to the edges of the bezel. The “Graphite” version with a plastic body has 16 GB of storage. The model sells for $290 (approximately 493 manats). The “Colorsoft Signature Edition” version costs $320 (approximately 544 manats). This model has 32 GB of storage, an aluminum body and an automatically adjusting front light. The device will be sold in “Graphite” and dark red “Fig” colors.
Alongside the devices, “Amazon” also unveiled new accessories. The “Kindle Click” remote costs $35 (approximately 60 manats). The remote connects wirelessly via Bluetooth and can be used to turn pages and adjust screen brightness. The “Page-Turn Cover,” which has physical buttons, sells for $80 (approximately 136 manats). The dock that charges the device costs $60 (approximately 102 manats). Prices for the children’s versions start at $180 (approximately 306 manats). The package includes a special cover, a 1-year damage warranty and a 1-year “Amazon Kids+” subscription.
The base “Kindle” and its aluminum version went on sale in selected countries on October 1. The standard “Paperwhite” and new “Colorsoft” models will go on sale on October 7. The “Paperwhite Signature Edition” version will go on sale on October 28. On all the new devices, the power button has been moved to the upper-right section. Battery replacement has also been made easier. The aluminum body is made from 80% recycled aluminum. “Kindle” sales have grown by double digits over the past 3 years. Sales in 2025 were the highest recorded in more than 10 years. Between 60% and 65% of people buying a new device have never used a “Kindle” before. The previous green model accounted for 55% of total sales. For this reason, “Amazon” has favored the purple “Ube” color in the new lineup. The company may develop special models for the “Kindle’s” 20th anniversary in 2027. There may also be major updates to the devices’ software interface.
