Amazon updates cheapest Kindle

Amazon has updated the lowest-priced model of it's Kindle with a front light and Bluetooth support so you can use it to listen to audio books. In Canada, it's priced at $120 compared to $140 for the Kindle Paperwhite.

It's good that they've finally added a front light to the basic Kindle; that's something that every ereader should have. The screen resolution is lower than the Paperwhite and it has half of the memory and is not waterproof.

Given the small price differential between the two, I'd still go with the Paperwhite. It might be a harder choice in the US, where the price differential is $40.
