Amazon’s Kindle Voyage now available in Australia

Amazon today announced the Australian availability of the Kindle Voyage, its thinnest e-reader yet. In addition to a slimmer, 7.6mm profile, the Kindle Voyage features a front-lit 6-inch display with a pixel density of 300 pixels per inch. Amazon claims the screen has the highest contrast of any e-Reader currently on the market.

The Kindle Voyage's battery is rated for six weeks, assuming half an hour of reading per day with wireless settings turned off. A full recharge takes approximately three hours.

The Kindle Voyage will be sold exclusively through Dick Smith for AUD$299. It's available for order online today, and in select Dick Smith retail outlets from tomorrow.
