Cinnamon Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 It has happened - Kindle is now in COLOUR!!!!! It is a new format,more like a tablet,but still has our loved Kindle capabilities,& runs on Android too,which I also rate highly. It is sadly not available in the UK as yet,but may be in the next few months,although there is already talk of an undated version coming out after Christmas. As a big Kindle fan,as many of us here are,I am really excited about this & the 3 other new format Kindles Amazon have announced today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I just saw something about this on the internet. I love my Kindle.....wonder if I'll be tempted to upgrade....and how much it'll cost. It'll be interesting to hear what people make of the new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 It is half the price if an iPad....$199. No word on a UK price as yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Hmmmm, perhaps I'll start mentioning it to OH then to prepare him for a potential future birthday or Christmas present! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowberry Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 It's bound to be more expensive than the American version but one of the selling points is cost They also have a Kindle touch out...how can I resist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 It is the colour that is the major selling point for me,rather than the touch functions. Shallow it may be,but I really miss pretty book covers It is also handy to have tablet capabilities in such a small thing,for going on trips & holidays,although there is no 3G,so I guess this may be added to the Fire 2,so I may hold out for that. The Kindle is a great piece of kit,& this new one does so much,is a lovely size & looks great - I suspect I know where my bonus will be going next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kazmac Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Sounds great. I love my Kindle and, as I don't spend anything on myself usually, I might just treat myself to the colour version! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I did Sha I opened the thread with trepidation Saw an article about them in the paper last night, by the looks of it they will be bringing out Kindles with ever increasing powers and the prices of pads in general will tumble.... watch this space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatieB Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Yes i thought it had caught fire too as I read the title before I saw about the new device. I have now read about the launch too and from what I read it sounds a long way off until they can launch here... apparently because the cloud where your info is stored is incompatible with English law regarding storage of music. So i got all excited and then deflated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickcluck Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I thought of you Sarah when I saw this in the news.... but is it backlit? In which case you're back to the old problem of not being able to read it outside!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I thought of you Sarah when I saw this in the news.... but is it backlit? In which case you're back to the old problem of not being able to read it outside!! If its colour, then it is backlit. But it might have an option to turn the brightness down (or even off).
