Amazon Launches Its Fastest Kindle Paperwhite in India
Amazon has introduced its latest e-reader in India—the all-new Kindle Paperwhite. Priced at ₹16,999, this new version promises to be the fastest Kindle yet, offering a 25% improvement in page-turn speed, a notable enhancement for fans of e-ink technology. Alongside performance, Amazon also claims a substantial boost in battery life, with the device now lasting up to 12 weeks on a single charge. While the company hasn't been releasing too many Kindle upgrades in recent years, 2025 seems to be changing that, especially for Indian readers. With this new launch, Amazon appears ready to reignite interest in its flagship e-reader lineup in the region. The updated Kindle Paperwhite comes with a 7-inch glare-free display housed in what Amazon describes as its thinnest Paperwhite frame so far. Readers will appreciate the sleek form factor, especially for one-handed use and travel. Amazon is also rolling out a new range of covers for the device, available in stylish colours like Black, Marine Green, and Tulip Pink. These accessories are priced at ₹1,999. 'Kindle Paperwhite has been a popular choice among readers for years, and we're excited to launch the all-new Kindle Paperwhite with upgraded features that our customers will value,' said Dilip R. S, director and country manager, Amazon Devices India. Beyond performance upgrades, much of what readers love about Kindle remains intact. The 300 ppi high-resolution display ensures text appears crisp and sharp. It's waterproof as well, making it suitable for use at the beach or by the pool. Amazon has also included an oxide thin-film transistor in the display for enhanced text and image clarity. Storage won't be an issue either—the new Kindle Paperwhite offers 16GB of space, enough to hold thousands of books. And in a welcome move, Amazon has replaced the micro-USB port with a USB-C charging port, simplifying the charging experience for users with modern cables. For those who love reading on-screen but find tablets and smartphones harsh on the eyes, the Kindle remains the go-to device. Its e-ink display replicates the feel of printed paper without glare. While traditional e-ink screens have lagged behind in refresh rates, Amazon has been steadily improving in this area. With a 25% faster page-turn speed, this latest Kindle Paperwhite offers a smoother, more responsive reading experience than ever before.

New Kindle Paperwhite launched in India, Amazon says it is the fastest yet
Amazon has been going somewhat easy on Kindle devices in the last few years. But this year, it seems India has again started seeing some action. The latest device to come from Amazon is the new Kindle Paperwhite that the company is launching in India at a price of Rs 16,999. Amazon says that the new Kindle Paperwhite is its fastest yet, with page turns faster by 25 per cent — kind of a big deal given the nature of e-ink displays that Kindle uses — and it offers up to 12 weeks of battery life. advertisementIt is also, according to Amazon, the thinnest Paperwhite so far, housing its 7-inch display in a sleek frame. Along with the device, Amazon has launched new covers for it. They are available in Black, Marine Green, and Tulip Pink and they come with a price tag of Rs 1,999. 'Kindle Paperwhite has been a popular choice among readers for years, and we're excited to launch the all-new Kindle Paperwhite with upgraded features that our customers will value,' said Dilip R. S, director and country manager, Amazon Devices India. Apart from the performance improvements, the rest of it is the classic Kindle. Given that this is a Paperwhite variant, its display comes with high 300 ppi resolution. The display is also waterproof, has fairly slim bezels and has an oxide thin-film transistor on it to make the texts and illustrations look sharper. The device comes with 16GB storage, which should be plenty to store thousands of books. It also comes with USB-C charging port, which should make it easier and more convenient for users to top up its has been the de-facto e-reader for anyone who loves to read on the go or on a screen. Unlike the screens of smartphones, laptops and tablets, the Kindle screens — because they use e-ink displays — are glare free. The effect can still not match what eyes get with paper and printed text, but it is the next best thing for those who read. One downside of the e-ink display is its refresh rate, which is significantly lower compared to regular displays. However, in recent years Amazon has improved the speed of its Kindles significantly and it is one area where the new Kindle Paperwhite with its 25 per cent faster page turn speed might do even better.
