Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is out of stock - new models on the way? - Liliputing

Amazon’s expected to launch a new line of Android tablets this case. But what about the company’s black and white eReader lineup? Is there a new model in the works to replace the Kindle Paperwhite

While there has been leak after leak Providing details about the company’s new tablets, I have not heard much about a new eReader from Amazon.

But there’s a good sign something’s going on in That department – Amazon’s Kindle Paperwhite WiFi eReader is currently out of stock.

The Kindle Paperwhite features 6-inch, 768 x 1024 pixel display, a touchscreen, and a front-light. Prices normally start at $ 119 for a model with “Special Offers,” or ads on the homescreen. An ad-free version typically sells for $ 139.

Both models are out of stock.

You can still buy a Kindle Paperwhite 3G for $ 179 and up, or a used Kindle Paperwhite for about $ 90 .

But the fact That Amazon doing now? restocked the Kindle Paperwhite WiFi Suggests That the company May be clearing out Remaining inventory to make room for a new model.

Or as Nate from The Digital Reader speculates, it’s overpriced possible That Amazon has no plans at all to launch a new model this year. Instead, the company May just be pushing its Kindle Fire tablets – Although in That case, you’d think Amazon would continue to sacrifice the Paperwhite indefinitely for people That want longer battery life and a lighter device.

After all, there are a few other Kindle models still available – including the $ 239 Kindle DX 9.7 inch eReader. That model’s been around for a couple of years at this point. There’s no reason Amazon could not continue to sacrifice the Kindle Paperwhite for a few more years – especially since the competition is looking a bit weak These Days, Which means there May not be as much need to push new models with new features every 12 months .
