After launching the all-new Kindle Oasis earlier this month as its first-ever waterproof Kindle, Amazon updated the original Kindle line-up with Audible support.

The latest offer shows the original Kindle 6" glare-free e-reader shipping with Audible built-in to allow you to listen to audiobooks too, though Amazon says that Audible support will be available in the coming months if you purchase the device right now.

With Audible support built into the device, Kindle users will be able to access Amazon's huge audiobooks library to discover and enjoy Grammy award-winning audiobooks, full-cast ensemble performances, and A-list celebrities.

"Now you can listen to the world’s largest library of audiobooks on your Kindle—anytime, anywhere, while traveling, cooking, or when you just want to rest your eyes. Pair with Bluetooth to move seamlessly from reading to listening," reads product's page.

The original Kindle now at a special price

If you want to buy a Kindle, which is undoubtedly the best e-reader on the market, the original Kindle is for you. The device features a 6-inch glare-free screen with touch and 167 PPI, 4 GB internal storage, and Wi-Fi support. The e-reader is available in Black or White colors.

And it's now available at a special price of only $79 USD if you purchase it directly from Amazon, though some countries aren't eligible for shipping. At this price, you'll also get some special offers that are presented on the product's page.

The 8th generation Kindle, which Amazon made up to 11% thinner and 16% lighter than any of the previous generation, is known to support books in the Kindle Format 8 (AZW3), Kindle (AZW), unprotected MOBI, PRC, HTML, DOC, DOCX, TXT, PDF, JPEG, GIF, PNG, and BMP.
