Leaked images reveal new colors for Amazon’s next entry-level Kindle
Leaked images suggest that Amazon is preparing to release a redesigned entry-level Kindle with new color options and a relocated power button. While technical specifications remain unknown, the device appears to feature a slightly different form factor compared to the 2024 model.
Why it matters
Consumer electronics leaks provide insight into product strategy and design trends for major tech companies.
Amazon typically introduces new Kindle models a few months ahead of the holiday shopping season and this year it looks like that will include a bigger update to the entry-level Kindle than what debuted in 2024. The last upgrades to the basic Kindle model were limited to a brighter backlight, a new dark mode, and faster page turns, but according to leaked images shared by WinFuture, the next version will come with a minor redesign and expanded color options.
The last entry-level Kindle model was available in black and matcha green colors and while the leaked images don’t reveal the official names Amazon has given the new colors, they include light blue, green, and mauve options, in addition to black.
