Amazon unveils major Kindle redesign with flush screens

Amazon has overhauled its Kindle lineup with the most significant design changes in years. All new Kindles lose the old raised bezel, replacing it with a flush, seamless front and thinner, lighter builds. The lineup also gets a repositioned power button, new colors, and aluminum-backed options. Amazon says they've used tech to prevent unwanted screen taps. Models start at $149.99, with the premium Paperwhite and Colorsoft ranging up to $319.99. Orders open today in multiple countries.
