Kindle Voyage will be unveiled for Indian customers at the opening day's finale show by JJ Valaya, titled "The Bolshoi Bazaar" at the Amazon India Fashion week Autumn-Winter, 2015.

"It gives me immense joy to associate with Kindle, an experience discovered by me only a few months back. Being an avid reader or rather used to soaking in visual experiences of elaborate coffee table books, I had never really felt the need to invest in books that were meant to be read. But the geek in me unearthed the reader in me when I discovered Kindle...be it Philosophy, Poetry, History from across the planet, this was the perfect answer!" said Valaya.

"We want to make it easier for our customers across India to read more and more, anytime and anywhere. The choice of devices and additional payment methods are all to enable and celebrate their passion for reading." added Mehta.

Kindle Voyage features a flush glass front and a magnesium back with 7.6 mm thickness and weighing less than 6.4 ounces,

Kindle Voyage uses a brand new Paperwhite display, with the highest resolution, highest contrast, and highest brightness of any Kindle. This device has 300 pixels per inch, which delivers laser-quality text and images. The exclusive flush-front display stack is designed to resist scratches.

In addition the new adaptive front light automatically adjusts the brightness of the display based on the surrounding light. And the adaptive front light can be fine-tuned to your personal preference. Also, since the human eye adjusts to darkness over time, the adaptive front light slowly lowers the display's brightness over time to match the way the eye responds to darkness.

Moreover, Kindle Voyage introduces PagePress, a new way to turn pages, which uses a custom-designed force sensor that sits directly under the bezel.
