Amazon Launches Kindle Paperwhite in India
Amazon has launched the Kindle Paperwhite in India, featuring the biggest screen yet for the lineup. The refreshed model brings a 7-inch glare-free e-ink display flanked by thin bezels, and a thinner, lighter design. It’s also the first Paperwhite to get an upgraded dual-core processor, which Amazon claims makes page turns 25 per cent faster and improves overall responsiveness.
The Kindle Paperwhite is priced at Rs 16,999 and is available in a black colour. Covers can be bought separately in Black, Marine Green, and Tulip Pink colours for Rs 1,999.
