The new model boasts better illumination and will come in a Matcha Green colour. Amazon hasn't released any new Kindle models since 2022, but it looks like that could be about to change. A new version of the entry-level Kindle has made an appearance online – albeit not from Amazon itself.

With stock of its current generation of e-readers dwindling, Amazon is expected to announce new Kindles soon, perhaps as early as next week. A Spanish retailer has a listing for a new 2024 version of the entry-level Kindle with a release date listed as September 30th, as spotted by Good e-Reader.

Now there’s growing evidence that Amazon is preparing to refresh at least one of its Kindle devices: a Spanish retailer posted a product page for a new 12th-gen Amazon Kindle, providing some details about the modest spec bumps associated with Amazon’s new entry-level Kindle.

Amazon is gearing up to release a new entry-level Amazon Kindle e-reader on October 1st. This e-reader has a better front-lit display, with 25% brighter illumination and a new system-wide dark mode. This Kindle is made with 75% recycled plastics and 90% recycled magnesium.
