The all-new Kindle Paperwhite is finally here! Launched in the international markets late last year, the 12th-generation Kindle packs a ton of upgrades. This should bring cheer to users in India who were disappointed after the Kindle disappeared from the e-commerce platform Amazon last year. Priced at Rs. 16,999, the new Kindle comes in a single Black colour and is now available on Amazon.in.

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (12th Gen) Summary

The new Kindle Paperwhite is great for avid readers and brings tons of upgrades for those who love reading e-books on the go. The new Kindle is thin, portable, and travel-ready. The 7-inch display is the biggest highlight of the new Paperwhite as it packs the largest display yet. The 300PPI pixel density feels optimum, while IPX8 keeps your worry-free for reading experience anywhere and anytime. You can also enjoy e-books in additional languages such as Hindi, Tamil, and Marathi, among others.
