Amazon’s Latest Kindle – Only £70 Including Front Lighting

Amazan has updated the Kindle line again and the latest – as with all the others of course – offers access to those millions of titles without having to carry a library around with one. The main upgrade to this entry level model is that it includes front lighting now:

[perfectpullquote align=”full” bordertop=”false” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=””] Amazon has launched a new Kindle featuring a front light, marking the first time the illumination tech has been included in the firm’s entry-level ereader. It replaces the ereader with the same name (but no light), while witnessing a price rise to $89.99 (£69.99, AU$139) – the previous Kindle was $49.99 (£59.99, AU$109). You’ll be able to adjust the level of brightness on-screen, allowing you to find the most comfortable level for your surroundings. [/perfectpullquote]

That’s not all there is to it, of course:

[perfectpullquote align=”full” bordertop=”false” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=””]Updated with the latest e-ink technology, the Kindle’s 6in display has the same 167 pixels per inch screen density as the old one, which is just over half the resolution of Amazon’s crisper and more expensive Kindles, but has improved contrast for easier reading. The new Kindle also ditches the infrared-based touch system for a more modern capacitive touchscreen, the same technology used in smartphones and Amazon’s Kindle Paperwhite, which should be more responsive and less prone to errant swipes.[/perfectpullquote]

It’s not available quite yet, but orders can be made now to ship in a few week’s time:
