Kindle Paperwhite 6 Rumours: Color Display and USB-C on the Way?

Multiple supply chain sources cited by Good e-Reader point to a significant upgrade cycle for the Paperwhite line. The current Paperwhite Signature Edition (2024) only launched months ago, so a new model in 2025 would be unusually fast — but Amazon may be responding to pressure from Kobo’s color lineup.

Key rumoured specs:

• Kaleido 3 color display (same panel as Kobo Clara Colour)
• USB-C charging (finally replacing Micro-USB on base model)
• Improved front light uniformity
• Possible price increase to $159 base

Take with appropriate skepticism — no official confirmation from Amazon, and the sourcing chain for these rumours is thin.
