New latest generation Kindle � small, light and even faster � now only $69

Kindle is the world�s #1 best-selling e-reader for five years running, and tens of millions of readers are already reading on Kindle. Today, Amazon is excited to introduce the fifth generation Kindle ereaders: 

Kindle Paperwhite is the most advanced e-reader ever constructed with 62% more
pixels and 25% increased contrast, a patented built-in front light for reading in all lighting conditions, up to 8 weeks of battery life, and a thin and light design for just $119; Kindle Paperwhite Wi-Fi + 3G � never pay for or hunt for a Wi-Fi hotspot with the all-new top-ofthe-line Kindle e-reader with free 3G wireless for just $179; and the new latest generation Kindle, the lightest and smallest Kindle, now with new, improved fonts, faster page turns and an even more unbelievable price: $69. Meet the all-new Kindle e-reader family at www.amazon.com/kindlepaperwhite.

�Paperwhite is the Kindle we�ve always wanted to build � the technology didn�t exist to build a display with this level of contrast, resolution, brightness and battery life, so our engineers invented it,� said Jeff Bezos, Amazon.com Founder and CEO. �62% more pixels, 25% higher contrast, built-in front light, perfect for bed, perfect for beach, even thinner, 8 weeks of battery life � this is a quantum leap forward and the best Kindle we�ve ever built by far.�

All-New Kindle Paperwhite � The World�s Most Advanced E-Reader
Most Advanced E-Reader Display, 62% More Pixels, 25% More Contrast
Kindle Paperwhite�s display is the most advanced e-reader display ever constructed.
Featuring a 212 ppi display, Kindle Paperwhite has 62% more pixels, making text in books and periodicals crisp and clear at any size. Images are sharper, richer and show even more detail. Kindle Paperwhite�s screen has 25% higher contrast � the blacks are blacker, and the whites are whiter.

Innovative Built-In Light
Backlit LCD displays direct light up through the display into the user�s eyes. Kindle Paperwhite�s patented front-lit display guides light underneath an anti-glare layer and down toward the display, away from the reader�s eyes. This means a reader can read for hours without eye fatigue or strain. The screen brightness is easily adjusted for reading in any light. The Paperwhite display provides an unparalleled experience in the dark and in direct sunlight.

Breakthrough Battery Life
Kindle Paperwhite�s built-in front light is designed to be used at all times � both in daylight and in a dark room � for the clearest, crispest reading experience.

In order to use the light at all times, Kindle Paperwhite requires exceptional power management to maintain the battery life that customers love about Kindle.

 Amazon�s light guide technology precisely diffuses the light across the screen and only requires four LEDs to light the entire screen (unlike LCD screens which can use up to 50 LEDs). The light guide is so efficient that Kindle Paperwhite has a remarkable 8 weeks of battery life, even with the light on at all times.

Free 3G Kindle�s free 3G connection means customers never have to hunt for or pay for a Wi-Fi hotspot � they simply download and read books anytime, anywhere in over 100 countries around the world. Amazon pays for the 3G connection on Kindle Paperwhite Wi-Fi + 3G, so customers pay no monthly fees and sign no annual contracts.

Built-In Wi-Fi
Kindle Paperwhite comes with built-in Wi-Fi, letting readers discover new content at home or on the road. Kindle owners also enjoy free Wi-Fi access at AT&T hotspots across the US.

New Touch Technology
Kindle Paperwhite�s new capacitive touch technology is uniquely integrated into the Paperwhite display, allowing for a thinner form factor for Kindle Paperwhite and even better touch accuracy.

Slim and Sleek Design
At just over a third of an inch thin and weighing 7.5 ounces, Kindle Paperwhite is thinner than a magazine and weighs less than a typical paperback. The bezel height between the side of the device and the display itself is 77% thinner.

Hand-Tuned Fonts
Every font on Kindle Paperwhite is hand-tuned for maximum readability. The Amazon typography team worked at the pixel level to ensure consistency of stroke thickness and shape profiles across all individual glyphs, aligning each size to the specific grid of the new Paperwhite display. This allows for unprecedented sharpness of fonts. Kindle Paperwhite�s higher resolution display also allows for new elegant typeface options, such as Baskerville and Palatino, which use thin stems that would not render well on any lower resolution display.

Time to Read
Time to Read is a new feature for Kindle Paperwhite that helps readers know the amount of time it will take them to finish a chapter or a book. This feature is smart � it personalizes the time for each customer based on their reading speed and is constantly updated as the reader�s speed and habits change. With Time to Read, it�s never been easier to decide when to start a new chapter or finish the chapter you�re reading.

Explore the �Bones of a Book� with X-Ray
With a single tap, readers can see all passages across a book that mention ideas, fictional characters, historical figures, places or topics that interest them, as well as more detailed descriptions from Wikipedia and Shelfari, Amazon�s community-powered encyclopedia for book lovers. Amazon built X-Ray using its expertise in language processing and machine learning, access to significant storage and computing resources with Amazon S3 and EC2,
and a deep library of book and character information.

Whispersync for Voice
All Kindles use Amazon�s popular Whispersync technology to automatically synchronize a customer�s Kindle library, including last page read, bookmarks, notes and highlights, across the widest range of devices and platforms. Now, Amazon is extending Whispersync to professionally narrated audiobooks � customers can start reading a book on their Kindle, and seamlessly switch to listening to their corresponding Whispersync for Voiceenabled audiobook from Audible on their phone or tablet, picking up exactly where they left
off.

With Whispersync for Voice, customers can continue enjoying books during commutes
or any other time their eyes are busy. Whispersync for Voice is a solution for the millions of Amazon customers who want to spend more time with their favorite books. Customers can listen to their Audible audiobooks on Kindle Fire, iPhone, Android phones and Windows Phones.

Beautiful Leather Covers with Auto Wake and Sleep
Covers for Kindle Paperwhite feature a premium textured leather exterior and a subtle
woven nylon interior to provide the lightest and thinnest form of protection. The integrated magnetic clasp ensures the cover remains securely closed while in a backpack, purse, or briefcase. The cover automatically wakes Kindle Paperwhite upon opening and puts it to sleep when closed, making it easy to dive right back into the book.

Latest Generation Kindle � Small, Light and Now Even Faster � only $69
Introducing the new, latest generation Kindle � the smallest, lightest and most affordable
Kindle ever is now even better, with new improved fonts, 15% faster page turns and a new, unbelievably low price: just $69. In addition, the new Kindle now supports children�s books and comics, and includes new parental controls. Weighing just 5.98 ounces, Kindle is small and light enough to fit easily in a pocket and take everywhere, and still features the same 6-inch electronic ink display that reads like real paper. At just $69, the new Kindle is the perfect entry Kindle for young and adult readers alike.

New inventions exclusively on the new family of Kindle Fire devices�X-Ray for Movies, XRay
for Textbooks, Immersion Reading, Whispersync for Voice, Whispersync for Games,
and Kindle FreeTime.

Less than one year ago, Amazon introduced Kindle Fire�combining 15 years of innovation into a fully-integrated, end-to-end service for customers. Kindle Fire quickly became the most successful product
launch in the history of Amazon.com, earning over 10,000 5-star customer reviews,
remaining the #1 best-selling product across the millions of items available on Amazon
since its introduction, and capturing 22% of U.S. tablet sales in just nine months. Today,
Amazon is excited to announce that it�s taking on the high-end with Kindle Fire HD�the next
generation of Kindle Fire.

The Kindle Fire HD family�the most-advanced tablets:

Ultra-fast 4G LTE wireless, powered by the latest generation 4G chipset, support for
all 10 4G bands, and Amazon�s breakthrough 4G LTE data package�customers
save hundreds of dollars in the first year compared to other 4G tablets.

Stunning custom HD display with in-plane switching, Advanced True Wide polarizing
filter and custom laminated touch sensor for 25% less glare with rich color and deep
contrast from any viewing angle.

Fastest Wi-Fi of any tablet�dual antenna, dual-band, and MIMO�40% faster
downloads and streaming compared to the next fastest tablet.

High-performance processor and graphics engine for snappy and smooth
performance.

Dual stereo speakers with Dolby Digital Plus audio�the standard in high-end audio
�available for the first time on a tablet.

Kindle Fire HD starts with 16 GB of local storage, enough to accommodate the

larger file sizes of HD content.

Exceptional battery life�7� Kindle Fire HD gets 11 hours of battery life.

Front-facing HD camera with custom Skype application for video calling from
anywhere in the world.

New Amazon-exclusive features like X-Ray for Movies, X-Ray for Textbooks,
Immersion Reading, Whispersync for Voice, Whispersync for Games, and Kindle
FreeTime.

World�s best content ecosystem�over 22 million movies, TV shows, songs, apps,
games, books, audiobooks and magazines.

Best cross-platform interoperability, with Amazon apps available on the largest
number of devices and platforms so customers can access content anytime,
anywhere.

Amazon�s top-rated, world-class customer service.

Amazon is also introducing an all-new upgraded version of the best-selling standard
definition Kindle Fire with a faster processor, twice the memory and longer battery life�all
for an even lower breakthrough price�only $159. Meet the all-new Kindle Fire family at
www.amazon.com/kindlefirehd.

�We�re taking on the most popular price point for a tablet, $499, but doubling the storage
and incredibly, adding ultra-fast 4G LTE wireless,� said Jeff Bezos, Amazon.com Founder
and CEO. �Kindle Fire HD is not only the most-advanced hardware, it�s also a service. When
combined with our enormous content ecosystem, unmatched cross-platform
interoperability and standard-setting customer service, we hope people will agree that
Kindle Fire HD is the best high-end tablet anywhere, at any price.�

The Best Hardware.

Stunning Custom HD Display.

The 8.9� display on Kindle Fire HD features an incredible 254 pixels per inch with a
resolution of 1920x1200, with pixels that are indistinguishable to the human eye. The 7�
Kindle Fire HD features a stunning HD display with 1280x800 resolution that delivers deep,
detailed contrast and rich, natural color. Kindle Fire HD also uses Gorilla Glass to provide
superior strength and reliability. Kindle Fire HD starts with excellent resolution, but that is
only the beginning�Amazon also added custom features that reduce glare and improve
color saturation at any viewing angle.

Most tablet displays are made up of two pieces of glass�an LCD on the bottom and a
touch sensor on the top, separated by an air gap. This air gap allows light to come through
the touch sensor and reflect off the LCD, which causes added glare for the user. Fire HD
solves this air gap problem by laminating the touch sensor and the LCD together into a
single layer of glass, creating a display that is easy to view even in overhead light, and
reducing glare by 25% relative to the latest generation iPad.

Like many tablets, Kindle Fire HD uses in-plane switching (IPS) to improve color
reproduction. But displays that only use IPS still appear washed out at various angles, such
as laid sideways in bed, flat on a table, or propped up in a case. Fire HD features an
Advanced True Wide polarizing filter that is applied directly to the LCD panel. This results in
a display that shows the same deep contrast and rich, detailed color from any angle.

High-End Laptop-Quality Wi-Fi�40% Faster Downloads and High-Speed Streaming
HD content has much larger file sizes than standard definition content�for example,
Marvel�s The Avengers in standard definition is 785 MB, but in HD, The Avengers is 2.97
GB. Files of this size require the very latest in Wi-Fi technology to download or stream the
HD content quickly and reliably�anything else results in buffering, slow downloads and
dropped connections. Many Wi-Fi enabled devices only use the 2.4 GHz wireless frequency.

This frequency is crowded since it is used by everything from other tablets to microwave
ovens, baby monitors, Bluetooth devices, not to mention the neighbors� Wi-Fi networks.
Kindle Fire HD circumvents this congestion with state-of-the-art dual-band Wi-Fi. Kindle Fire
HD can automatically switch between the 2.4 GHz network and the newer, less crowded 5
GHz network, resulting in better range and less interference. In addition, dual antennas and
Multiple In/Multiple Out (MIMO) allow for higher bandwidth and longer range. The new Kindle
Fire HD is the first tablet to market with all three of these latest generation Wi-Fi
technologies�dual-band support, dual antennas, and MIMO. This is the first time this stateof-
the-art Wi-Fi technology has been offered in a tablet, resulting in 40% faster throughput
compared to the latest generation iPad.

Latest Generation 4G LTE Wireless
The large-screen Kindle Fire HD is also available with ultra-fast 4G LTE, with download
speeds as fast as Wi-Fi. To keep the 4G Kindle Fire HD just 8.8 mm thin, Amazon customdesigned
its 4G wireless modem to be just 2.2 mm. Some 4G devices don�t support all of
the non-4G bands�Kindle Fire HD includes support for 10-bands, so even if a customer
doesn�t have perfect 4G coverage, the Kindle will fall back to the fastest available 3G
speeds.

Amazon�s Breakthrough 4G LTE Data Package


The 4G Kindle Fire HD comes with the most affordable 4G tablet data package. Customers
will have access to a 12-month data plan with 250MB per month, 20GB of Amazon Cloud
storage, and a $10 credit in the Amazon Appstore for a one-time cost of $49.99. In fact, when
you combine the cost of the device and the data plan, customers who purchase the Kindle
Fire HD 4G LTE will pay over $400 less than latest generation iPad owners in the first year
of ownership. Customers can also choose to upgrade to 3 GB or 5 GB data plans from
AT&T directly from the device.

8 GB of Storage is Not Enough for an HD Tablet

Customers want to enjoy HD content if they have an HD tablet�and 8 GB of on-device
storage isn�t enough for the larger HD file sizes. The 7� Kindle Fire HD is available with 16
GB or 32 GB of on-device storage, and the large screen Kindle Fire is available with 16 GB,
32 GB or 64 GB of on-device storage. This large on-device storage capacity is in addition to
the free storage Amazon provides for Amazon digital content in the Amazon Cloud. Amazon
digital content is automatically backed up for free in the Amazon Cloud�s Worry-Free Archive
where it�s available anytime.

Powerful World-Class Processor�Snappy and Smooth

An HD display and HD content must be driven by a powerful processor and optimized
software. The Kindle Fire HD family features world-class processors and the new
Imagination Technologies graphics engine for lightning-fast HD graphics and excellent
fluidity. The 8.9� Kindle Fire HD is powered by the latest generation OMAP4 4470 processor
and Imagination SGX544 graphics engine capable of over 12 billion floating point
operations per second�50 percent more than Tegra 3, and both Kindle Fire HD 7� and 8.9�
come with higher memory bandwidth than Tegra 3. Combining the latest generation
processors with significant customization of the Kindle Fire software by Amazon engineers
results in a snappy and smooth experience for the user.

Dual Stereo Speakers and Exclusive Dolby Audio�The New Standard for Tablet Audio
Customers shouldn�t need to wear headphones while watching a movie on a tablet to get
excellent sound. Kindle Fire HD solves this by combining dual stereo speakers with the next
generation Dolby Digital Plus audio platform�the standard in high performance audio�to
offer a world-class audio experience. Dolby�s audio suite for Kindle Fire HD includes
technology used to adjust volume and deliver easier-to-understand dialogue in movies and
TV shows. Kindle Fire HD automatically optimizes the audio profile based on what a
customer is doing, such as watching a movie, listening to music, using third party apps like
Pandora and Netflix, and also optimizes for headphones versus speakers. All of these
pieces combine to create an exceptional audio experience that results in clearer, crisper
and balanced sound quality.

11 Hours of Battery Life

The 7� Kindle Fire HD is optimized to deliver high performance without sacrificing battery
life, delivering over 11 hours of battery life.

Thin and Light
Even with a custom display, a powerful processor, extra speakers and dual-band/dualantenna
Wi-Fi, the new Kindle Fire HD is extremely light and thin. In fact, Kindle Fire HD 8.9�
weighs only 20 ounces and is just 8.8 mm thin. Kindle Fire HD 7� is small enough to take
everywhere and light enough to hold easily and comfortably in one hand.

Connect with Bluetooth and HDMI

Kindle Fire HD supports Bluetooth, enabling customers to connect their wireless Bluetooth
headphones or Bluetooth speakers to listen to songs, videos or audiobooks. With Bluetooth
connectivity, customers can also easily connect to a wide range of Bluetooth-enabled
keyboards. HDMI out makes it easy for customers to connect the Kindle Fire HD to their bigscreen
TV to enjoy their favorite HD videos and photos.

Stay in Touch with Front-Facing HD Camera
The new Kindle Fire HD features a front-facing HD camera. Skype created a customized
app tailored for Kindle Fire HD that is ready to use out of the box for free HD video calls at
home and abroad. Kindle Fire HD makes it easy for the over 500 million customers already
using Skype to get in touch with friends and family.

Beautiful Leather Covers
Covers for Kindle Fire HD feature a premium textured leather exterior in a variety of colors
and a subtle woven nylon interior to provide the lightest and thinnest form of protection. The
integrated magnetic clasp ensures the cover remains securely closed while in a backpack,
purse, or briefcase. The cover automatically wakes Kindle Fire HD upon opening and puts it
to sleep when closed, making it easy to dive right back into whatever content a customer is
enjoying.

All-New Features Only Amazon Can Offer
X-Ray for Books


One year ago, Amazon introduced X-Ray on Kindle Touch, and customers loved it. Amazon
is extending X-Ray to books on Kindle Fire, making it easier than ever for customers to learn
more about the content they love by exploring the �bones of the book.� With a single tap,
readers can see all the passages across a book that mention ideas, fictional characters,
historical figures, places or topics that interest them, as well as more detailed descriptions
from Wikipedia and Shelfari, Amazon�s community-powered encyclopedia for book lovers.

X-Ray for Movies
�X-Ray for Movies� is a new feature that revolutionizes the movie experience by bringing the
power of IMDb directly to movies on Kindle Fire HD, accessible with a simple tap. Without
ever leaving the movie, customers can look up any actor in the scene or movie, see what
other movies they have been in, and view photos, biographies and more. X-Ray is offered
only by Amazon and is exclusive to the Amazon ecosystem. IMDb, an Amazon company for
14 years, is the #1 movie website in the world with more than 160 million monthly unique
visitors worldwide.

X-Ray for Textbooks
Glossaries in print textbooks contain the most important information for students, but they�re
placed inconveniently in the back of the book. And glossaries don't always contain enough
information for students working to understand new concepts. X-Ray for Textbooks solves
these problems by integrating the glossary directly into each textbook page and by
algorithmically assembling related data from Wikipedia and YouTube.

Immersion Reading

Research supports that readers can benefit from listening while reading. Together, Amazon
and Audible invented �Immersion Reading,� allowing customers to fuse together printed text
and professionally-narrated audiobooks, giving readers the ability to experience their
reading with two senses�sight and sound. As the reader views the text of their book on
Kindle Fire, text is highlighted as it is professionally-narrated, creating a more immersive
experience, as well as deeper learning and comprehension.

Whispersync for Voice

Whispersync for Voice allows customers to synchronize their Kindle books with
professionally-narrated audiobooks�customers can start reading a book on Kindle Fire
and seamlessly switch to listening to the companion audiobook, picking up exactly where
they left off. With Whispersync for Voice, customers can continue enjoying books during
commutes or any other time their eyes are busy. When they get in the car, customers can
effortlessly pick up the story right where they left off reading by listening to the
professionally-narrated audiobook using Bluetooth on Kindle Fire HD or with any Audible
app on their smartphone.

Ideal for Gaming
Amazon has worked with leading developers to offer new Android games exclusively on
Kindle Fire HD, including Activision�s popular Skylanders Cloud Patrol franchise and
Crytek�s Fibble. In Skylanders Cloud Patrol, gamers will discover a new feature�the ability
to purchase physical toys from within a game. Customers will be able to purchase a unique
Skylanders character with a single click, and Amazon.com will deliver it to their doorstep. In
addition to hardware that�s perfect for gaming like stunning custom HD displays, fast Wi-Fi
and large on-device storage, the Kindle Fire HD family also offers HD Games, gyroscope
and accelerometer for full tilt and turn controls, as well as social gaming features including
group leaderboards and achievements.

Whispersync for Games

One of the biggest frustrations of mobile gaming is that when customers switch devices or
delete and re-install the game on the same device, they have to start a level over or go back
to the beginning of the game. To solve this problem, Amazon extended its Whispersync
technology to gaming with Whispersync for Games. Whispersync for Games syncs a
customer�s place in the game and saves unlocked levels, so even if they get a new device,
the progress is backed up in the cloud.

Kindle FreeTime

Amazon today reinvented parental controls with Kindle FreeTime. FreeTime gives parents
easy-to-use tools to personalize their children�s digital media experience. With FreeTime,
parents never have to worry what content their kids will access�parents select all of the
content their kids can see and kids can�t exit FreeTime without a password. FreeTime also
lets parents limit their kids� screen time by content type�they may choose to limit videos
and games, for example, but make reading time unlimited. Kindle FreeTime will be
available for free on all of the new Kindle Fire devices starting in the coming weeks.

Cloud-Accelerated Silk Browser

The new Kindle Fire family uses a new version of Amazon Silk with the unique �split
browser� architecture that leverages the computing speed and power of Amazon Web
Services to deliver content faster. The new Amazon Silk browser features an updated core
rendering engine and a reengineered transport layer that contribute to faster page loads.


Customers can experience full-screen browsing, reading view, and improved browsing with
most-visited, trending and recommended sites all available from a single screen.

All-New Email and Calendar

The new Kindle Fire family features world-class Microsoft Exchange integration, with finetuned
performance on many of the most critical e-mail functions. For example, typical
Exchange accounts sync with the oldest emails first, ending with the most recent emails
�Kindle Fire instead syncs with newer emails first, then with older emails, getting
customers faster access to the most recent emails they are looking for. Kindle Fire also
features a new calendar app, making it easy for customers to stay connected and keep
track of their schedules. The new e-mail client offers support for the world�s most popular
email providers�including Gmail, Microsoft Exchange, Hotmail and more.

Photos Brought to Life

Photos come alive in stunning high-resolution on Kindle Fire HD. Fire�s mosaic view
arranges personal photos beautifully, and customers will be delighted to see their best
shots on their TV with HDMI out. Kindle Fire lets customers easily import their photos from
Facebook and because their photos are securely stored in Amazon Cloud Drive, they never
have to worry about losing their favorite pictures.

New Latest Generation Kindle Fire�Only $159

Kindle Fire, the #1 best-selling product on Amazon for the past year, is now even better, with
all the features customers love about the original Kindle Fire�all the content, seamless
integration with the Amazon Cloud, Whispersync, and a brilliant 7� touchscreen�now with a
faster processor for 40% faster performance, twice the memory and longer battery life. The
new Kindle Fire also offers all of the new features that are exclusive to the Kindle Fire family
�including X-Ray for Movies, X-Ray for Books, Immersion Reading, Whispersync for Voice,
Kindle FreeTime and more.
