Amazon has just announced the Kindle Travel Bundle and it comes with a leather cover, a power adapter, and a travel bag. It is basically a new accessory pack for the Kindle Paperwhite, the Kindle Voyage, and the Kindle Oasis.
The Kindle Travel Pack is available Monday May 15th and the travel bag will come in four different colors; four different colors, including black, maroon, brown, and khaki. The bag carries a value of $69 and there is no way you can just buy it individually, so existing Kindle owners are left in a lurch.
It will be interesting to see if people will purchase the Travel Bundle and spend the extra money for a bunch of accessories. Amazon has been selling the Kindle Essentials bundles for a number of years and they come with a regular cover and power adapter, but have hardly been best sellers.
