A $79 Kindle and the Kindle Voyage are the company's new e-reader offerings.

"This is our thinnest, highest resolution, highest contrast e-reader we've ever done," Amazon VP Peter Larsen said of the Kindle Voyage, which starts at $199.

"We have a long term-vision to replace paper," Senior Vice President of Devices David Limp said at the launch event in New York Wednesday.

That translates to e-readers with higher resolution and contrast display. By releasing a cheaper e-reader, Amazon (AMZN, Tech30) hopes to tap into markets like India and China.
