Amazon, Kobo and Barnes and Noble all issued new hardware, which have been by far, the most popular. Tolino, Onyx Boox, Boyue, Pocketbook and a myriad of others all released a bevy of new e-readers. With so many devices that came out, which are the best ones to spend your money on? It is breaking new ground when it comes to a modern e-reader.
It checks all the right boxes for a premium level device. It has a large 6. You can adjust the lights with a slider bar, but they can be automatically adjusted, based on your environment with the ambient light sensor. This is the first Kindle that has QI wireless charging, and Amazon is selling a new docking station for it.
There are a few big advantages when using a Kindle for your primary e-reader. They have the largest collection of audiobooks from Audible and ebooks. Amazon has deals with all of the big and small publishers, you will find all of the perennial bestsellers.
The company also operates a large number of imprints, where they sign authors and release ebooks. Millions of titles titles are directly submitted by independent authors via Kindle Direct Publishing. Kindle devices are WiFi enabled so you can download books from anywhere if you have a connection. To download books on-the-go wherever you are, choose a model with mobile connectivity. While older versions of the Kindle e-reader had physical buttons to turn pages, many newer models have ditched buttons for an intuitive touchscreen design.
Not all Kindle devices are Audible-enabled. In some regions, you cannot access Audible on a Kindle device. Older e-readers are also unlikely to work with Audible. However, with those that are, you can access your Audible library with ease and listen to all your favorite books if you ever get tired of reading with your eyes.
Kindle e-readers boast an impressive battery life. This is good, because why waste time charging when you could be diving into a good book? Storage varies from 4GB to 32GB. You can choose between 8GB or 32GB storage capacity in higher-priced models.
Many people find exactly what they are looking for in this middle range. What is Kindle Unlimited? Download and read as many books as you can devour in a month. Note that the selection is not infinite and that some Kindle e-books are not available to read with this plan.
What types of settings can I adjust on my Kindle in order to customize my reading experience? You can customize the font size, font type, light brightness, spacing, page orientation, and more.
How long does it take to charge a Kindle device? Charging takes approximately four hours if your device is completely drained of power.

To us, that sounds like a great argument for giving ereaders their own space, away from the distractions of apps and constant notifications on our modern do-all devices. With a dedicated ereader, you can even browse for new books without leaving the house.
Admittedly, ereaders are simpler devices made for the singular purpose of reading, but they have advantages that you won't find on more versatile tablets, such as batteries that last weeks rather than hours and much clearer legibility in direct sunlight thanks to their glare-free screens.
There are several brands of ereaders on the market today, but availability is spotty. Neither are available in Australia. Two companies, though, have risen to own the ereader market globally — Amazon with its range of Kindle ereaders and Kobo. We've divided this page into two sections to highlight the best both companies have to offer, then go on to compare the two to help you make your buying decision. If money is no object and you want the most luxurious reading experience a digital ebook reader can give you, then it doesn't get any better than the version of Amazon's Kindle Oasis.
While the older model can be found on Amazon, the new model is lighter than its predecessor, and its IPX8 waterproofing means it can easily handle an accidental dunk in the bath or the pool. The backlight can be adjusted from white to warmer yellow hues to reduce eye strain, and it can even be scheduled to become warmer at bedtime say, pm for example. There's also the usual Kindle Oasis features we saw in the previous generation — a high-quality and large 7-inch display with E Ink technology that makes words on the page crisp and clear, and a 'ridge' on one side of the sleek-looking aluminum chassis that has been designed for easy and comfortable single-hand use.
The buttons to turn pages are within easy reach of the thumb even if you have small mitts, and the device can be turned upside down for use with either hand, with the pages swapping automatically to suit. WhisperSync support means you can stop reading on your Oasis and pick up reading where you left on the Kindle app, or another Kindle device, although this will require your devices to be on the same Wi-Fi network.
There's also plenty of storage space onboard, with 8GB being the starting point, but you can get a 32GB version of the Oasis if you've got or planning on having a large digital library. The base model comes with Wi-Fi enabled, but there is an LTE option as well, which allows you to download ebooks from the Kindle Store no matter where you are.
It's the ereader that comes with all the bells and whistles, if you can stomach the premium price. Read the full review: Amazon Kindle Oasis. There was a time when Amazon had a Kindle called Voyage, but that has been discontinued.
Instead, some of the features from the Voyage have been added to the Kindle Paperwhite, making it one of the best, affordable Kindles till date. The latest edition of the Paperwhite is thinner and lighter than the previous generation, and offers 8GB of storage on its base model — twice that on the predecessor. Like the Oasis, though, you can opt for a 32GB flavor as well, in case you'd like to store a staggering number of ebooks on the device.
And, like the Oasis, there are Wi-Fi and cellular models available too. The 6-inch screen is a gorgeous HD display with ppi pixel density that makes the words on the page appear sharp and clear, even in bright sunlight. The built-in light can be adjusted from white to warmer hues to reduce eye strain, although you can't schedule the light to change for nighttime reading as you can with the Oasis.
Compared to the Oasis' sleek, premium design, the Paperwhite's chassis is rather boring and feels plasticky in the hand, but it's remarkably functional, as long as you don't need to use it with a single hand. Thanks to its IPX8 waterproofing, you can safely relax in the bath or lounge by the pool with your favorite titles and not worry about it falling into the water. Battery life doesn't seem to be as good as it was in the older version, but you'll still get days of use out of a single charge with the current model of the Paperwhite.
Read the full review: Amazon Kindle Paperwhite. These are unprecedented times and everyone is budget conscious at the moment. So if you'd like an ereader that won't burn a hole in your pocket, then Amazon's latest basic Kindle is for you. It's an entry-level, no-frills device that comes with a backlight that has no blue light filter. The 6-inch display is glare-free but it's not the sharpest screen an entry-level Kobo called Nia has beaten Amazon on that regard — see below for more details.
That said, the screen is adequate for reading indoors, the battery will see you through a couple of weeks of reading and you'll get up to 8GB of storage. The Kindle isn't waterproof, so you'll need to be careful if you're a poolside, beach or in-the-bath reader.
Despite being a basic ereader, the latest iteration of the Kindle comes with Bluetooth support, so you can connect a set of wireless headphones and link your Audible account if you're keen on listening to audiobooks when you're unable to read.
The user interface is basic but intuitive and makes reading digital books and magazines a breeze. It's also slim and light, making it a highly portable library for all the titles you own. Read the full review: Amazon Kindle. While traditional tablet-like ereaders like the Kindle Paperwhite mentioned above and the Kobo Nia and Clara HD below are the most affordable ebook readers you can get, they're uncomfortable to use single-handed. And so the asymmetric design that the Kindle Oasis pioneered is becoming more popular, with Kobo introducing the Libra H2O in late as a more affordable option to both the Amazon counterpart as well as the bigger Kobo Forma.
But it's not just the Libra's relatively affordable price tag that makes it a compelling ereader alternative — it's also more durable than the expensive bigger brother listed below, and it boasts an improved user interface that offers a better reading experience than what you'd get on a Kindle.
With a 7-inch screen compared to the Forma's 8 inches , it's smaller than its bigger brother, but that makes it more portable and it's a much faster device besides. With the latest E Ink technology, the Libra H2O matches the Oasis in speed and responsiveness — whether you're just turning a page, selecting words for dictionary look-up or entering a Wi-FI password to set up the ereader. The Libra H2O debuted improvements to the user interface, like a new ebook navigator accessed by either swiping upward from the bottom or tapping in the centre of the screen.
You can even use the Libra to read in landscape mode if you prefer. We were already partial to Kobo's user interface and these changes have made it more streamlined than the cluttered UX of the Kindles. Thanks to its hard plastic body, the Libra has a more premium and rugged look than the Forma. Why we picked the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite : How could we not? What is a Nook? What is a Kobo?
