New Amazon Kindle

Amazon has announced two new Kindle devices. The first is pretty straightforward, the new Kindle is a 6-inch device with 16 shades of gray on their e-ink display. 4GB of internal storage should keep you reading for a while and the touchscreen breaths new life into the experience.

The new Kindle will start shipping on October 2nd, pre-orders are open now starting at $79.

Amazon Kindle Voyage

Last, but not least, the Amazon Kindle Voyage. Stepping up the game, the Voyage offers optional 3G connectivity on top of the WiFi of the normal Kindle.

The Kindle Voyage joins the other new tablets shipping October 21st. Again, pre-orders are open now starting at $199 for the WiFi only or $269 with Free 3G.

Special Offers

Please keep in mind that Amazon offers all of these devices with Special Offers pricing. Special Offers is Amazon’s on-device advertising deal, that installs a sponsored screensaver on the device and fires up (pun intended) an ad on your screensaver and the bottom of the home screen. Device savings differ by model, but an additional $20 or so will get you the ad free model of the devices.

There you have it, a big day for Amazon and the Fire line of tablets. As mentioned, we’ll have more to say about these devices before they go live in October, stay tuned if you are interested.
