Amazon's new colour Kindle is coming to Australia next year, but it has other new eReaders ready to go

The worst thing about the Kindle is that they tend to last for ages. While my first gen Kindle died a couple of years ago, my first gen Kindle Oasis is still going strong.

So when Amazon announces new models that promise better performance, new features and (gasp!) a colour screen, I can't justify an upgrade to myself.

But maybe you can! Amazon has just announced four new models in its Kindle lineup, and while the most exciting of the four isn't landing in Australia until next year, the others still have plenty to like.
