Online retailer Amazon.com unveiled the latest incarnation of its digital book reader, the Kindle, on Monday in a slimmer version with more storage and a feature that reads text aloud to users.
The new Kindle, which will still sell for $359 on Amazon's
Web site, is available for preorder and will ship Feb. 24, the company said.
Amazon said the new version fixes a problem with involuntary page turns, is thinner, and sports a new five-way controller that allows users to jump between articles and sections of newspapers. A power charger is more portable and a cover that comes with the device is more secure, it said.
