Amazon overhauls Kindle, adds $139 Wi-Fi model

Facing increased competition, Amazon has revamped its Kindle e-reader, making improvements all around and adding a cheaper Wi-Fi-only model. The new device is 21% smaller with the same 6-inch reading area, 15% lighter (8.7 ounces), 20% faster at page turns (with quieter page turn buttons), and supposedly offers 50% better contrast than any other e-reader. Additionally, it can last for up to a month on a single charge with wireless disabled – twice as long as before – and up to 10 days with wireless on. Internal storage has been doubled to 4GB, which equates to around 3,500 books.
