A new leak reveals a larger screen for the 12th generation Amazon Kindle Paperwhite

A handful of specs for the 12th-generation Amazon Kindle Paperwhite have leaked via an eBay listing, which shared images of the new e-reader’s packaging before it was pulled, reports Good e- Reader. These images, still available on Reddit, reveal a slightly larger seven-inch E Ink display, up from the previous model’s 6.8 inches.

Other features of the 12th generation Kindle Paperwhite include screen illumination that can be adjusted between warm and cool color temperatures, an IPX8 waterproof rating that allows the e-reader to survive a submersion to depths of two meters for a full hour , screensaver ads that can be removed for a fee, and “weeks of battery life.”

Details on what processor the e-reader is using, how much memory is included, and its wireless capabilities are still unknown, but based on the packaging, it looks like Amazon isn’t making the jump to ink displays just yet And color , as Kobo did earlier this year.

Today’s leak follows a leak in late September of the entry-level 12th-gen Kindle, which revealed the e-reader would feature an improved 300 ppi display with better contrast and more screen lighting bright, faster page turns, a new dark mode and at least two color options, including matcha green.
