Amazon has added a new addition to its e-reader family - a white Kindle, Digital Spy reveals.

The device might come with a different coloured backing, but the internals and software features are unchanged from the standard model.

You'll get the same anti-glare touchscreen and processor that is 20% faster than the previous-gen model, along with services like Whispersync, X-Ray and Smart Lookup.

The price is also unchanged, with the white Kindle costing £59.99 from Amazon's UK store.

Earlier this month, Waterstones stopped selling Kindles at its high street stores, citing "pitiful" demand for the e-readers among its customers.

Amazon responded with a statement insinuating that the sales slump is limited to Waterstones, insisting that it is "pleased" with Kindle's performance at retail level.
