Amazon will announce a brand-new Kindle next week.
The word comes straight from CEO Jeff Bezos, who posted the announcement on Twitter a short time ago.
"Heads up readers - all-new, top of the line Kindle almost ready," Bezos wrote. "8th generation. Details next week."
The new Kindle is seemingly close to completion, Bezos indicates, so it could go up for order soon after it's revealed.
Bon Voyage?
"Heads up readers" is strong hint that Amazon plans to announce a new e-reader, and that 8th gen bit helps us hone in even further.
The new device is probably a replacement for the Kindle Voyage, Amazon's 7th-gen slate and a well regarded yet aging beauty.
The Voyage sits on the high-end of Amazon's offerings, and features a Corning Gorilla Glass front and haptic touch buttons. While it earned 4.5 stars in our review, at $200, it's markedly more expensive than the smaller yet still capable Kindle Paperwhite.
