On Tuesday, Amazon announced its newly designed Kindle
Paperwhite.

The new Paperwhite has a couple of standout features, including
water-resistance, so you can finally read comfortably poolside.
The company says its reading device can withstand being submerged
in two meters of fresh water up to 60 minutes — past Paperwhite
tablets were not water-resistant. 

Amazon says the new Paperwhite is the thinnest and
lightest Kindle ever designed.

Here are the rest of the specs:

• A 6-inch, high-resolution display
• Double the storage of its previous generation at 8 GB. It
  also comes in 32 GB for the voracious reader and for storing
  larger files like audiobooks, comics, and magazines
• Built-in Bluetooth for Audible streaming so you can
  seamlessly move between listening and reading without losing your
  place.

The new Kindle Paperwhite costs $129.99 and will available for
pre-order starting on Tuesday. Anyone who purchases the device
will get six free months of Kindle Unlimited, which gives readers
access for millions of books in the Amazon’s Kindle
Store. 

The devices will begin shipping November 7.
