So according to the product page, “Its enhanced features include a 25% brighter front light at max setting, a higher contrast ratio, and faster page turns than the previous generation.”

We already knew about the brighter screen, but the higher contrast ratio is intriguing. It does point to an upgrade to a carta 1300 screen, however if I remember correctly the reviews of devices equipped with the carta 1300 did not show a significant difference with carta 1200 screens in terms of contrast; I’m curious whether Amazon actually managed to do better on that front. Also looks like it’s getting a faster CPU.

Overall it looks like a pretty decent update for the basic Kindle.
