The current basic model, which recently saw its price climb to $149.99, is set to be joined by new aesthetic options including light blue, mauve, and a revised green.

Amazon Kindle Refresh Brings New Colors and Ergonomic Tweaks
Leaked imagery suggests Amazon is preparing a design overhaul for its entry-level Kindle, moving the power button to the top edge and introducing a fresh palette of colors. While the hardware remains under wraps, these ergonomic adjustments signal a departure from the conservative updates seen in previous iterations.
WinFuture reports suggest that the screen housing may feature more rounded corners and a potentially recessed E Ink panel. While technical specifications regarding storage, battery life, and screen resolution remain unconfirmed, the hardware changes point toward a more substantial update than the modest backlight and page-turn improvements of 2024. Amazon has yet to comment on the timeline for an official release, though the timing aligns with their historical pattern of refreshing e-reader lineups ahead of the peak holiday shopping cycle.
