Amazon today announced the the all-new Kindle Paperwhite e-reader. The new Kindle Paperwhite features new display technology with higher contrast, the next generation built-in light, a faster processor and the latest touch technology.

The New 25% faster processor will ensure the books open and pages turn faster. The 19% tighter touch grid makes Kindle Paperwhite respond more accurately to the smallest touches. The new Vocabulary Builder feature compiles words you look up in the dictionary into an easy-to-access list. You can use these lists to quiz yourself with flashcards and instantly see words in context. With a single tap, you can read the complete text of each footnote in-line without changing the page or losing your place in the book. FreeTime lets you create personalized profiles for kids and give them access to titles from your collection of books. Children are rewarded with achievement badges that keep track of their personal reading accomplishments. Organize your books in customized collections for easy reference, and Amazon’s Whispersync technology synchronizes the collections across your Kindle devices. With Built-in Wi-Fi and free 3G you can download books anytime, anywhere or paying for Wi-Fi hotspots, no monthly charges and no data plan required.

The new top-of-the-line Kindle Paperwhite is priced at Rs 11000 and the new Kindle Paperwhite Wi-Fi + 3G is priced at Rs 14000. It is now available for pre-order starting today at www.amazon.in and begins shipping from February 4, 2014.
