Amazon really hasn't abandoned the e-ink Kindles. They continue to release a new one every single year, and the Paperwhites are solid improvements. It is only $139 for the no ad version (the first Kindle launched at $399). There is only so much visible change they can make until there is some leap in the e-ink technology so the yearly changes may seem smaller, but they are definitely committed and improving the kindle!
