I may be the only one but I would actually like to see Amazon release a 300 ppi basic kindle without a front light.
Why?
Because the text would be a lot sharper and a lot bolder as opposed to the Kindle paperwhite or Voyage or Oasis.
It also wouldn’t undercut any of the front lit readers because it wouldn’t have a front light. I don’t see why they don’t release one.
To continue releasing a basic Kindle at 167ppi wouldn’t be an upgrade and would be pointless as they are already thin enough from a hardware perspective. There would be no point in upgrading to a new basic Kindle at that resolution.
I actually like this little non-backlit one 🙂
I like it too, but I would love it at 300 ppi.
