Sound the klaxon. New paperwhite incoming
There is a "newer model available" temp link on the paperwhite page on Amazon.
See here: https://imgur.com/l4wrqs7 Links to: https://www.amazon.com/Test-Product-...p_ob_title_def Wonder how long until it drops |

That's interesting, I guess they may replace\ update anything in the Kindle e ink line up. Except for the latest Oasis 2. Many were surprised when they changed from the Oasis 1 to the larger Oasis 2. I guess anything can happen at this point.

I see glaring mistakes on that blog. It claims the basic Kindle has been removed from Amazon comparison tables and the banner at the top of the pages. I still see it on the banner and the tables.

I was going to comment on this earlier - that kindle is very boxy, and a very different case from the paper white that actually got built - that looks like it was a manufacturing testing device they took a picture of. |

Thanks. Well yes, one would expect a "placeholder - do not sell" page at amazon to contain details of an old product, just in there as a placeholder.

what's the difference? PW looks exactly the same except horizontal.
1080 with no light for regular? Ehh, i have a PW2 and the resolution is fine! |

Oh, and a case with no gimmicks and that protects the device rather than "personalizing" it. |
