Amazon listing details new smaller, high-res ‘Voyage’ Kindles – Engadget

You don’t need supernatural powers to realize that it’s been 12 months since a Kindle Paperwhite refresh, ergo we could be due a new one. It also kinda helps when Amazon’s own web-store lets slip a little bit of info. Some eager searchers spotted a listing for Kindle “Voyage” on Amazon’s German and Japanese stores. The listings don’t have too much information, but do mention a 300 ppi display on the 6-inch device that comes in the usual WiFi and 3G versions. The 112 x 116 mm dimensions suggest the Voyage will be smaller and at 8mm deep, the “thinnest Kindle up to now” (thanks Google translate). The (now-pulled) product page was even kind enough to give us details on price — $ 190 or $ 250 with 3G — all set for a November 4th launch date. It could be that the Paperwhite name is on the way out, too, with the with the Spanish version of this support page replacing “Paperwhite” with the new “Voyage” name.
