Amazon's iconic e-reader, the Kindle, has been a top choice for book lovers. With various models available, the Kindle Paperwhite stands out for its impressive 6.8-inch screen and up to 10 weeks of battery life.
What is Kindle Paperwhite?
The Kindle Paperwhite is Amazon's mid-range e-reader, offering a perfect balance between portability and readability. Its glare-free display, adjustable font sizes, and waterproof design make it an ideal companion for readers.
What to expect from 12th-generation Kindle Paperwhite
Images of the 12th-generation Kindle Paperwhite retail box have surfaced online, hinting at a slight display size upgrade to 7 inches. This leak confirms:
- 7-inch glare-free display
- Adjustable colour temperature
- Weeks of battery life
- Possibly a 25% brighter display (as per MediaMarket listing)
While this upgrade may not bring significant changes, the larger display and potential brightness boost will enhance the reading experience.

Will this upgrade be enough?
Although the leak suggests minimal upgrades, fans may still appreciate the refreshed design. However, some may hope for:
- Faster chip for improved performance.
- Colour E Ink display.
Current-gen Kindle Paperwhite
The current Kindle Paperwhite (16GB) retails for $170 without lock screen ads. The new model is expected to maintain this price point despite the larger display.
Amazon might launch other new Kindle models alongside the 12th-gen Paperwhite. Its entire e-reader lineup is due for a refresh.
