Amazon.com on Monday released a new version of its Kindle electronic-book reader, but the slimmer and lighter upgrade of the original is drawing criticism from some Kindle users.
Rather than make any dramatic changes, Amazon has tweaked the original book-sized Kindle.

The price, however, remains the same: $359.
