So we'll be getting a new Basic and maybe a color Scribe. Remember, Amazon is only bringing out two Kindles.

My needs are meager. I'm happy with what I've got.
That's pretty much exactly what the Basic 2022 is, adding USB-C and more storage.

I wonder if anyone in the Amazon Kindle department actually uses a Kindle because I can't think of any reason why a brighter backlight is necessary and would be pitched as something that needed improvement. The highest I've ever gone on my Voyage has been a 6 and I felt that was too bright. Also why does the power button have to be on the bottom?

Hopefully the other to be released Kindle has more going for it than a bright light and an admittedly nice green color.

Besides a 10% brighter screen there doesn’t seem to be any difference with the previous model, as far as I can tell.

Edit: This turned out to be incorrect, the shop mistakenly labeled the current gen Paperwhite Signature as a “2024 model”. Apologies for any false hopes!

It's not the new color Oasis I was hoping to see.

There appears to be a video on that link that shows the new device in action.

New base model kindle and new paperwhite signature model with minor enhancements maybe isn't the most exciting release we could have hoped for. Oh well.

I agree. As speculated elsewhere, it seems Amazon continues to slow innovation in it's Kindle line while the competition advances.

I’m having doubts now about the reliability of this page; there are comments dating back to May on the “2024 Paperwhite signature” product page, and it does mention 11th generation (which is the previous one). So I think that shop might only have labeled it “2024” to attract customers who don’t know better.

The Amazon page for the current Paperwhite Signature also mentions this 10% brightness increase, so I think it might be a red herring.

Yes, I just noticed a reference to 300 ppp - we may just be looking at a typo ridden page. My dream of a new Oasis lives!
