new kindle 2023

If you've been waiting for the release of a new Kindle e-reader before buying one in 2023, you're in for a disappointment. Amazon doesn't look set to release a new e-reader before the end of the year!

Amazon unveiled its new products at a conference held at the end of September 2023. These new products include new Echo connected speakers and Fire TVs, but nothing about a new Kindle e-reader.

Kindle e-readers: a consistent range in 2023

Since the late 2022 release of the Kindle Scribe, Amazon has not added a new e-reader to its range.

Apart from the Kindle Oasis, which is starting to show its age, the Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite e-readers are fairly recent and well positioned in relation to the competition.

The most affordable e-reader is the Kindle, with its 6-inch touch screen and lighting. This e-reader has been available since October 2022 and is therefore a recent model.

Although it lacks a blue-light filter, it's still a good reader, with a fast screen and Amazon services like Prime Reading.

Even if it's technically inferior to more recent readers like the Pocketbook Verse, with a price tag of around $100, the basic Kindle is very well placed in relation to the Kobo Nia - which is showing its age.

If you're on a budget, the Kindle Paperwhite offers excellent value for money, thanks to its large 6.8-inch screen and waterproofing (while remaining compatible with the Kindle services mentioned above).

This e-reader has been available since autumn 2021, so it's only been on the market for 2 years.

So, putting aside the Kindle Oasis, which faces serious competition from the Pocketbook InkPad 4 (review here) and the Kobo Sage, the Kindle range of e-readers is quite relevant.

Will the Kindle Oasis be renewed in 2023?

That leaves the Kindle Oasis, which may be replaced by a new model in 2023.

The Kindle Oasis is still a very decent machine, but it seems a little dated today.

In particular, its micro-USB charging port poses a problem, despite the fact that USB-C has become the standard for faster, more reliable e-reader searching over the past 2 years.

The Kindle Oasis could also benefit from a new-generation e-ink screen with a faster refresh rate. But this gain would be marginal and hardly noticeable to the untrained user.

So I don't think a new version of the Kindle Oasis will be announced this year, since Amazon's engineers seem to have concentrated on the Kindle Scribe and its software updates.

But I could be wrong.
