The update to the basic Kindle brought it up to date with the rest of the line. The new version of the product, which starts at $100, bumps the display up to 300, doubles the storage to 16GB, and finally drops the microusb forusb-c, is available now. Following a similar recent update for the Paperwhite, that last one is certain to please users and regulators.

Warm light for night reading, wireless charging, and a flush display are all missing from the product.

There are special offers with the price. It is possible to buy without increasing the price up to $120. The new additions provide some important bang for the buck, but it is a far cry from the days of the $79 Amazon Prime. The product is kept up with the times by these people. The competition has dwindled to the point that Amazon hasn't been offering regular updates.

Six weeks of battery on a charge is promised by the new version of the device, which was advertised as "weeks". The six-inch device is being positioned as the smallest. The packaging for the product is made from 100% recycled wood fiber, which is in line with Amazon's goal of transitioning to recycled packaging on its devices by next year.

The new Kids version comes with the same features, as well as a year of access to the Amazon Kids+ service. The starting price is $120. The standard Kindle is available in a navy blue color and comes with four free months of Amazon's Prime service. As of today, they are both available for pre-order.
