A smaller, faster Kindle with a flush-front display
Kindle 2026 is Amazon’s redesigned 6-inch e-reader, now smaller and lighter with 30% faster book opening and a flush-front display. It also comes in a new 32GB aluminum version for the first time.
This is the new 6-inch Kindle for 2026. It is smaller and lighter, opens books 30% faster, and finally gets a flush-front screen. There is also a 32GB aluminum version for the first time.
Amazon refreshed the Paperwhite and Colorsoft at the same time, with thinner bodies, updated displays, and more aluminum options across the lineup.
And page-turn buttons are back... sort of. There is now a Bluetooth Kindle Click, plus a Page-Turn Cover with physical buttons for the Paperwhite Signature Edition and Colorsoft Signature Edition.
The basic Kindle still has no warm light or waterproofing.
Oh, I really miss the Voyage...
