How often does Amazon release, or should release a new Kindle device? Every two years sounds like a reasonable time frame. When did they release the last Paperwhite; early summer 2015? So how about a successor is timely just about now? Are we expecting any special leaks about the device? Do they usually happen?

Paperwhite 1 - announced September 6 and released October 1, 2012. Paperwhite 2 - announced September 3 and released September 30, 2013 Paperwhite 3 - released June 30, 2015 Voyage - announced September 18 and released October 21, 2014 Oasis announced April 13 and released April 27, 2016 Kindle 8 (basic Kindle) - released June 22, 2016 I don't know the answer to the other questions, although my guess is that we will see one or more updated Kindles sometime during 2017.

But from the supposed leaked photo of the next Kindle, it seems like it's just another 6" nothing special Kindle.

Maybe the high storage capacity model (currently only in Japan) will be available elsewhere. (Amazon did that with the PW-2 when it doubled its storage. At first it was a "Japan only" model.) |

I was reading the earlier posts in this thread where a lot of people commented that a 6" display was too small, and that they were hoping for a 6.8" one to be released. I don't actually find reading on a 7" tablet to make that much of a better reading experience. The tablet has an LCD display, though.
Once in a while, when I feel somehow cramped by the 6" screen, I switch to landscape mode for relief. It feels temporarily liberating and provides the pleasant illusion that I have a larger screen. Eventually, I go back to portrait mode. As long as the e-reader fit in my vest pocket as the 7" tablet does, I'd buy a 6.8" one, but I wouldn't rush out to buy it just because of the larger screen. I would not be interested in a device that didn't fit comfortably in my pocket. |

Two Japan only devices? I heard only about the 32GB Paperwhite. Which was the other? I couldn't find it, as Google is full of the announcement of this one.

Those are Wifi only models, no Wifi+3G version has shown up in any customer's hands (but there is a place for them in the model numbering scheme). |
