In recent days several Amazon Prime users have sounded the alarm of great discounts on eReaders, discounts of up to $ 40 for the Kindle Basic or Kindle Voyage.
These discounts have raised the alarm of many users who think that they are a stock cleaning, something very possible and that would indicate a upcoming Kindle release. But What kindle will it be? What Kindle will not be updated?
Far we can say that device will not be updated and it may not be renewed in these months if Amazon launches an eReader. These models are the Basic Kindle and the Kindle Oasis, eReaders that have been updated a few months ago and that would not make sense if they do not present serious problems, things that they have not done.
The Kindle Voyage has many "ballots" to be the next Amazon model
So it seems that the Kindle Paperwhite and the Kindle Voyage are the candidates for this renovationIt also coincides with the discounts since the Kindle Oasis has not had any discount in its price.
It seems that the decision would be between a new Kindle Paperwhite and a Kindle Voyage. In this dilemma I lean towards the Kindle Voyage. This is because Amazon's philosophy has changed and now opting for premium eReaders, coinciding with the Kindle Voyage. Discounts have also been applied for this model, which would also help to believe in this new model. But the most important thing for me is that the eReader has not been updated yet like the Kindle Paperwhite or the basic Kindle and we could be facing this type of update.
In any case, the question about whether we will see a new eReader or not is still on the table and it could be that until next year we won't see a new model, but Amazon already wanted last year to launch a new model in December, maybe now if it does? what do you think?
I don't see much sense in an update really. How could the Paperwhite or Voyage improve?
Is there new electronic ink technology or new processors (IMX 7) ?. No, and even if there were, it wouldn't make sense for these models to be updated, surpassing the Oasis technology, right?
They can make them lighter, improve the lighting ... little else.
In my opinion, the Kindle Voyage stopped making sense the day the Oasis came out. Let's see, it makes economic sense, but it's not a kindle that substantially improves the Paperwhite beyond 2 or 3 small design details.
