New Kindle
Amazon introduced a new series of e-ink readers and tablets. All of them will begin to be sold in October, but for now the price of the simplest and most popular Kindle 4 is reduced to $ 69.
So, new items.
Kindle Paperwhite will be on sale for $ 119 from October 1.

There are several revolutionary changes:
• There was a long-awaited backlight;
• The screen resolution was increased by 62% (it was 800x600, it was most likely 1024x768);
• The contrast is increased by 25%;
• They promise to work up to eight weeks, even with the backlight on.
All management of the book is made using capacitive touchscreen. Button left alone.
The Kindle Paperwhite 3G will be on sale for $ 179 from October 15. The only difference from Paperwhite is free 3G internet in a hundred countries of the world.
It is a pity that the reader with the new screen and backlight without touchscreen did not appear.
The new Kindle Fire will be sold from September 14 for $ 159.00.
This is a 7-inch tablet on Android with its shell and without access to Android itself. Technical parameters: IPS 1024x600 screen, OMAP4430 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 8Gb of internal memory, up to 8 hours of operation. Weight too big - 400 grams.
Kindle Fire HD will also be sold on September 14 for $ 199 with 16 GB of memory and $ 249 with 32 GB.
This tablet is 17 mm wider than Fire. The screen is 1280x800, there is a Micro-HDMI output, it works up to 11 hours.
Kindle Fire HD 8.9 " will be sold on November 20 for $ 299 (16 GB) or $ 369 (32 GB).
8.9-inch IPS-screen with a resolution of 1920x1200 and 10-point multitouch, dual-core processor OMAP4470 1.5GHz. The tablet is quite heavy for this size - 567 grams.
Kindle Fire HD 8.9 "4G LTE Wireless - the version with 4G / 3G / 2G modem will also be sold from November 20 for $ 499 (32 GB) or $ 599 (64 GB). The specification does not say anything about the SIM card, but everywhere it says AT & T. It looks like the modem will work only in America with this operator.
Tablets are not bad in terms of characteristics and price, but they are not enough for them - they can only work with Amazon content out of the box, which is completely irrelevant in Russia. Surely, over time, alternative firmware will appear that turn these tablets into ordinary Android tablets.
But the Paperwhite book is very interesting and truly revolutionary right now.
I do not presume to judge how relevant is the version with free 3G. In my experience of operating a Kindle 3 3G, there is not much use from such an Internet and only access to Wikipedia worked in Europe. Perhaps, with the touchscreen, the use of the Internet on the book will become more relevant.
I am thinking of ordering a Kindle Paperwhite for $ 119. With delivery should be about 5,000 rubles.
