The newest member of the e-reader family is the Kindle Paperwhite which comes with a lighted touchscreen and eight weeks of battery life.
Alongside this were three new Kindle Fire HD tablets, one of which has a larger 8.9 inch screen. The new devices boast improved WI-FI technology along with a feature called Kindle FreeTime which allows parents to set time limits for their children to access the devices.
No information on a UK release date as yet. Hopefully Amazon can be bothered to actually let us have the devices this time. Time will tell no doubt.
I can't say I'm hugely excited about any of these devices though. I think the Google Nexus 7 will beat the Fire HD tablets hands down, and if the rumoured iPad mini appears, then that will sweep all the competition away.
More details can be found at cnet.com for whom I must credit these images from the event.
