![]() ![]() Unlike the regular Paperwhite, it comes with a year’s subscription to Amazon Kids+, which provides access to a huge library of content, including books, shows and games to enjoy on the ereader, phones and tablets. Why we like it: Because this is essentially a Paperwhite at heart, it has the same great high-res screen and battery life as the mid-tier model, so it’s ideal if you’d prefer the latest tech for your children. This one has waterproofing that’s lacking from the below model, as well as a bigger screen, included “kid-friendly” case and the same long two-year “worry-free” warranty. Who this is for: If your child is a more advanced reader, Amazon has now packed its Paperwhite tech into a kids version. Battery life: Up to 10 weeks based on 30 minutes of reading a day.Still, there isn’t quite enough to justify a £50 price difference over the 2021 Paperwhite, so if any of these features aren’t essential for you, we’d recommend picking that instead. That enormous storage space may be useful if you need to keep audiobooks on the device and you’ll just need to pop it on a wireless charging pad to refuel, a feature no other Kindle offers. Why we like it: The light will set itself to brighten or dim depending on your conditions, meaning you don’t have to do that yourself if you’re reading outside or in bed at night. It isn’t all that different from the 2021 model above, but expands the storage to 32GB, and adds wireless charging and a front light that adjusts automatically. Who this is for: If you must have the latest upgrades or the most storage space, the “Signature Edition” of the Paperwhite could be the one for you. Connectivity: Wifi-only or wifi and mobile connectivity.Waterproofing: IPX8-rated to withstand immersion in two metres of water for up to an hour.The only downsides are that the ergonomic design with a raised edge on one side won’t be for everyone, and at £229.99 it’s far from the affordable option. We also appreciated how it's waterproof and can come with extra storage. We found the Oasis impressive, with a brighter screen that’s more paperlike than any other Kindle. It’s also got useful physical buttons in addition to the touchscreen, and some will find this more intuitive for turning pages. Why we like it: You can change the colour temperature of the display and it’ll adjust its brightness so that you get a warm natural glow while reading. It’s expensive, but worth it if you want the premium model. Who this is for: Serious readers looking to build up a library of ebooks and audiobooks will benefit from Amazon’s best ereader with all its high-end features. Battery: Up to 12 weeks based on 30 minutes of reading per day.The big high-resolution and glare-free display is excellent, but it’s worth keeping in mind that this is both an ereader and a notetaking device, and it’s not designed to go everywhere as it lacks the waterproofing of the Kindle Oasis and Paperwhite. With the Scribe and its included stylus (either a basic or a premium pen, which has an additional button for highlighting and a dedicated eraser), you can start up digital notebooks that save in the cloud, take notes while reading or scribble all over PDF files. And, with its huge 10.2-inch screen, we wouldn’t recommend it if you’re not interested in using its notetaking functions. The latest addition to Amazon’s range, this is the first device from the brand that’s designed for both reading and writing. Battery life: Up to six weeks based on 30 minutes of reading a dayįor some readers, the Scribe is the ideal Kindle.But after testing it out for a couple of weeks side-by-side with the old model, we’d say the advancements are evident – and worth the extra cash. One thing to note is that this one costs a bit more than the basic Kindle that it replaces. We looked to GH’s Books Editor for novel recommendations and enjoyed reading through London, With Love on the new device. We can confirm that it feels feather-light to hold, and it’s ideal if you think the bigger model could be a bit cumbersome. It comes in a noticeably smaller form factor than the previous version, with Amazon boasting that it’s the “lightest and most compact Kindle”, and it has a bigger storage capacity too. Why we like it: We love the upgraded screen and longer battery life that Amazon just added to the new entry-level Kindle. The only thing it lacks that the more expensive Kindles have is its waterproofing. Amazon used to sell its most basic model without a backlight or high-resolution screen, but it now has both a great backlight and a sharp display. Not only is this the best small Kindle, but it’s also the best Kindle for under £100. Who this is for: If you want a straightforward and small ebook reader that does all the essentials, this new one is what we’d recommend. ![]()
