New Voyage coming in November _ rumour [FALSE] - Page 20

Must have been another model, then. The one I'm thinking of was released in the US for Christmas, but internationally a couple of months later. May have been the Kindle Touch.

The Kindle Touch was released in sometime in November and April 27 of the following year in the UK.

Probably that one then.

I agree. If it wasn't for this thread, I would be $200 poorer right now, and on my way to Kindle hoarding.

I don't know the release schedule for the UK, but traditionally, Kindles released in September or October in the US could only be ordered from the Netherlands in February of the next year. In Germany, they could be ordered in November of the year of release. (I got my KPW1 through Amazon Germany, by having it delivered at a friend's house.)

I haven't ordered a Kindle since then, so I don't know how it is now.

I thought I remembered some releasing around April, just in time for Mother's Day.

Vmurph · 11-21-2015, 04:39 PM

Original Kindle: November 19, 2007

Kindle DX (white): June 10, 2009
Kindle DX (graphite): July 1, 2010
Kindle Keyboard: August 27, 2010
Kindle Keyboard (w/3G): May 25, 2011
Kindle 4: September 28, 2011
Kindle Touch: September 28, 2011
Kindle 5: September 6, 2012
Paperwhite 1: October 1, 2012
Paperwhite 2: September 31, 2013

Pretty sure you're wrong about the K3 slash Kindle Keyboard. Both models came out in 2010.

Also, what you call the Kindle 5 is just the black version of the Kindle 4. It isn't a different model.

JSWolf · 11-21-2015, 05:23 PM

The white Kindle (current Kindle basic) is not on the list. When was that released in the UK? Yes I know it's a US list, but we've been talking release dates for the UK. So let's change the list to UK release dates.

Not according to Wikipedia. The Keyboard was released in 2010, but without special offers. Then a special offers version was released in 2011 for wifi and a few weeks later, for 3G.

* Kindle Keyboard : August 27, 2010

* Kindle Keyboard (w/special offers) 
Wi-Fi: May 3, 2011 
3G: May 25, 2011

Umm...I didn't say it was a different model. Just another release date.

Sorry, I was replying to a different post about US release dates.

Actually, now that I think of it, it is a different model. The original K4 had buttons and no touch screen. The K5 removed the buttons and added a touch screen.

It makes no sense to me that they discontinued the Touch and then turned the K4 into a Touch. Why not just discontinue the K4 and lower the price of the Touch? That's basically what it amounted to.

Who wants to do a UK Kindle release list?

HarryT · 11-21-2015, 06:14 PM

Why don't you do one? You seem to be the person who wants it.
