The Kindle family gets a full refresh

Amazon has updated all three models in its e-reader lineup: Kindle, Paperwhite and Colorsoft. Announced as 2026 versions, the devices come with a thinner and lighter body compared to previous generations.

Design highlights

Two changes stand out in the new lineup:

  • A flat display design
  • An aluminum casing option, offered for the first time

These two features represent an approach not seen before in the Kindle family. The aluminum casing is intended to give the devices a more premium feel.

Pricing and details

Amazon also announced pricing for the new models. However, since the source text did not include specific figures, they are not shared here. Model-by-model technical details are expected to become clearer in the coming days.
