The 2022 Amazon Kindle, the entry-level model of the company’s e-readers, may be light and compact, but it’s equipped with a 6-inch e-ink screen with a resolution of 300 pixels per inch — up from 167 ppi in its previous generation.  The Kindle also adds a backlight to the display, and you can manually adjust the brightness depending on the time of day and your location. The e-reader can last up to six weeks on a single charge, and it offers 16GB of storage space for thousands of books.

The 2022 Amazon Kindle Kids is basically the same device as the 2022 Amazon Kindle, but with add-ons that make the e-reader a more appropriate device for children. Every purchase comes with a kid-friendly cover that provides protection against wear and tear, a two-year worry-free guarantee, and a one-year subscription to Amazon Kids+ that provides unlimited access to a massive digital library that will help children fall in love with reading. You’ll also have access to the Parent Dashboard, where you can adjust settings such as age filters and monitor reading progress.

The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is in our list of the best e-readers as the best cheap Kindle because the latest version of the device increases the size of its screen to 6.8 inches, and introduces USB-C charging for shorter waiting time to a full charge. With a battery life of up 10 weeks, a 300 ppi resolution, a glare-free display, and an adjustable warm light, you’ll be able to continue the book that you’ve been reading wherever you find yourself. The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite also features an IPX8 waterproof rating, so it won’t be damaged by splashes of water when you’re reading in the bath or at the beach.

Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition (32GB) — $145, was $190

There are also a few add-ons, such as auto-adjusting brightness to match the display to your surroundings and a wireless charging option.
