The next entry-level Kindle has been leaked from a UK store

John Lewis, a high-end department store chain in the UK, has briefly listed a new Kindle that isn’t available at anyone else. It’s the upcoming 12th generation Kindle eReader, which Amazon hasn’t announced yet, although its information was already leaked a few times before Lewis prematurely published a listing for it. Although this entry is no longer online, Good e-reader And The edge We were able to take screenshots and note the technical specifications of the device. In the retailer’s description, Amazon referred to the Kindle as the 12th generation.

Its frontlight is 25 percent brighter at maximum setting than previous versions, and it has a higher contrast ratio, but you still can’t adjust the light cooler or warmer like you could on more expensive Kindles. However, the device allows for faster page turning than previous Kindles and has a new dark mode feature that inverts the colors of the e-ink display, it says The edge. If you prefer listening to your books, you can launch Audible on the new Kindle and connect your headphones or speakers to it via Bluetooth too.

In addition to the basic 12th generation Kindle, John Lewis also released the listing for its Kids Edition version. It’s the same device, except it comes with a colorful case and includes a free six-month subscription to Amazon Kids+. Previous Kids Edition Kindles came with a one-year free membership to the subscription service, but this model required you to pay $6 per month to continue access to curated books, videos, and games for kids after half a year. For the 12th generation Kindle itself, the John Lewis listing says it costs £95 ($124), around £10 more than the previous version. Meanwhile, the Kids Edition will cost you a bit more as the retailer has it listed for £115 ($150).
