TL;DR
- Amazon is showing off its latest upgrades to the Kindle, Kindle Colorsoft, and Kindle Paperwhite.
- This year’s base Kindle is smaller, lighter, and faster than before, with an edge-to-edge colorful design.
- New accessories include the Kindle Click page-turning Bluetooth remote.
Amazon may have introduced shoppers to the idea of e-readers for the first time with its Kindle series, but by 2026 it’s hardly the only game in town, and the market now enjoys plenty of healthy competition, complete with some interesting new device types. Still, Amazon’s not ceding ground without a fight, and earlier this week we got a preview of where the next-gen Kindle lineup could be headed. Today, that new hardware finally starts going official.
All told, Amazon is announcing a compact new edition of its six-inch Kindle, new Kindle Colorsoft, new Kindle Paperwhite, and a complete lineup of accessories, including the Kindle Click remote.
