    The new Kindle was briefly on sale and it hasn’t even been announced yet

    The new Kindle was briefly on sale and it hasn’t even been announced yet

    Amazon hasn’t officially announced the next generation of its Kindle e-readers yet, but following leaks of several models, the UK retailer John Lewis was already selling the 12th-gen entry-level Kindle and the new Kindle Kids Edition through its website earlier today, as spotted by Good e-Reader. Both listings have since been taken down.

    The 12th-gen Kindle Paperwhite recently popped up in an eBay listing that has also been taken down, and which included images of the new e-reader’s packaging revealing minor upgrades such as a slightly larger seven-inch E Ink screen.

    John Lewis’ listing for the 12th-gen entry-level Kindle model appeared to confirm leaked details from September. According to those leaks, the upgraded e-reader will have a six-inch, 300ppi E Ink screen with a higher contrast ratio that’s illuminated by a front light that’s now 25 percent brighter at its max setting. However, the new entry-level Kindle’s front light will still lack the color temperature adjustments you get with the Kindle Paperwhite and other pricier E Ink devices from Amazon.

    According to the listing, the 12th-gen Kindle also introduces a new dark mode that inverts its black and white E Ink screen for easier reading in the dark, offers faster page turns, and will come with 16GB of storage. John Lewis had listed the new e-reader for £94.99, which is around $124.

    The store’s listing for the 12th-gen Amazon Kindle Kids Edition had the same specs as the 12th-gen entry-level Kindle, with brighter backlighting and an E Ink screen offering better contrast. As with past versions of the Kindle Kids Edition, the 12th-gen model comes with a case, an extended two year warranty, a subscription to Amazon Kids+ featuring ebooks and audiobooks targeted at kids, and a dashboard with parental controls. Pricing was £114.99, or around $150.

    Previous versions of the Amazon Kindle Kids Edition came with a one year subscription to Amazon Kids+ (even in the UK), but John Lewis’ listing said the 12th-gen model only comes with a six-month subscription to the service. After that, monthly plans start at $5.99/month for Amazon Prime members, or $7.99 without.
