Slimmer and sleeker than the Kindle, Paperwhite measures 169 mm x 117 mm x 9.1 mm and weighs 213 g. It features 2 GB internal (approximately 1.25 GB available for user content) and stores upto 1,100 books.

Battery life can stretch to 8 weeks, based on a half hour of reading per day with wireless off and the light setting at 10.

The device charges fully in approximately 4 hours from a computer via USB cable.

The base model of the Kindle Paperwhite is $119;

A 3G and Wi-Fi version, Kindle Paperwhite Wi-Fi + 3G, is available for $179.

Amazon also announced a price drop on its existing Kindle from $79 to $69, which features minor tweaks to fonts and texts.
