A new leak reveals a larger screen for the 12th-gen Amazon Kindle Paperwhite


The Kindle Paperwhite’s screen grows again.

By Andrew Liszewski, a senior reporter who's been covering and reviewing the latest gadgets and tech since 2011, but has loved all things electronic since he was a kid. Other features of the 12th-gen Kindle Paperwhite include screen lighting that can be adjusted between warm and cool color temperatures, an IPX8 waterproof rating allowing the e-reader to survive a dunking to depths of two meters for a full hour, screensaver ads that can be removed for a fee, and “weeks of battery life.” Details on what processor the e-reader is using, how much memory is included, and its wireless capabilities aren’t known yet, but based on the packaging, it doesn’t look like Amazon is making the jump to color E Ink screens yet, like Kobo did earlier this year.
