After a year and a half of absence, the mighty Kindle returns!.

- 

The new Kindle Paperwhite is not revolutionary. It's not trying to be. It's evolutionary — smoothing out the edges, speeding up the turns, and adding warmth where it matters. If you already own the last Paperwhite, you don't need to upgrade. But if you've got a Kindle that's been around since before wireless charging was a thing, this is a gorgeous leap forward.

It's 7 inches now - up from 6.8 - but Amazon hasn't turned it into a tray. It still fits neatly in one hand, weighs just 211 grams, and remains thin enough to slide into a sling bag next to your existential dread and backup charger.
