Amazon is set to release a new version of its Paperwhite reader including a high-end “Signature Edition,” according to Amazon listings spotted by Reddit users and GoodEReader.

A comparison chart on Amazon’s Canadian and Mexican sites, now removed, showed new Kindle Paperwhite and Paperwhite Signature Edition models, with 6.8-inch 300 ppi displays and 17 LEDs. The current Paperwhite, by contrast, has a 6-inch display and just four LEDs.

Both models are IPX8 waterproof as before, offer a “flush-front design” and appear to have narrower side and top bezels. They also feature an “adjustable warm light,” meaning they likely have both white and amber LEDs — just like Amazon’s high-end Kindle Oasis.

The Signature Edition offers a storage update over the Paperwhite 5 to 32GB, along with wireless charging and auto-adjusting light sensors that change screen brightness depending on the environment.

The Canadian listing shows the Paperwhite and Paperwhite Signature Edition at US$117 and US$165, respectively, but those could just be placeholders.

Currently, the standard 8GB Kindle is US$90, the 8GB Kindle Paperwhite US$130 and the 8GB Kindle Oasis is US$250.

If the new prices are accurate, you’d be paying more for the Paperwhite, but get some of the features found on the Oasis.
