Amazon Kindle 8 Review : Why would you get a new Kindle anyway?

VERDICT:

The rounded edges and reduced weight are a nice change but the software is what this new Amazon Kindle 8 is all about.

Let’s draw our attention away from the cosmetic changes and focus on the hardware. The display panel is the same and at 167 PPI, it makes for an adequate reading experience. They key difference here is the additional RAM that has been raised to 512 MB. What this indicates is that Amazon has realised that future Kindle OS upgrades might need more memory and they only way to ensure a smooth experience would be to add more RAM to the mix. So getting the new Kindle over the older ensures that you’ll have a much better experience with future software upgrades. The other key addition is that of Bluetooth and the VoiceView screen reader for the visually impaired. Additionally, the rounded edges and reduced weight are a nice change but the software is what this new Kindle is all about.
