According to the retail giant, Kindle Voyage's high pixel density makes it gentler to the eyes, especially in direct sunlight, and the screen has a fiber-like texture, giving the reader's a feel of reading an actual book.

In addition, the high-end device also boasts its unlimited 3G-connectivity.

Amazon also upgraded its regular e-reader Kindle and included a touch screen, which will be sold at US$79, a price that 15 percent more than the original model.

Other devices launched on Wednesday included a Kindle Fire HD Tablet.

The HD tablet has a small six-inch screen and will be sold for US$99.

In a statement released by Amazon Vice President Peter Larsen, the goal for the Fire HD Tablet was to provide customers with a low-price range, but good quality device, amid customer's disappointment over tablets made by other companies ordered from Amazon, due to its poor quality.

A similar tablet especially designed for kids was also unveiled and has a price starting at US$149.

 According to Amazon's senior vice president David Limp, who is also at the helm of Kindle products, the company expects that Voyage will have a lesser customer base compared to other Kindle devices but it is pricier.

But Limp added that the company's goal for its new line of products was to provide its customers with the best all-around device in one Kindle e-reader.

All the new unveiled devices is already available for preorder and will start its shipment in October.
