Fortunately, Kindle Unlimited can help fill up your library, letting you hoard plenty of titles to keep you occupied for a while. Buying and downloading new books and audiobooks is easy enough, and the new Kindle comes with 16GB of storage, which is double the storage you'll find on many other e-readers in this price range and more than enough storage than I know what to do with on an e-reader. Plus, I couldn't resist hearing Mariah Carey read her own memoir.Įlsewhere, navigation is pretty simple, with two sections: Home for purchasing new books and Library for reading them.

I can definitely see the appeal of audiobooks, especially for people who may often find themselves doing other things and unable to keep their full gaze on a book for long periods of time.
#Amazon kindle review Bluetooth#
I don't really care for audiobooks, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to give it a try with Mariah Carey's "The Meaning of Mariah Carey." Pairing to my Bluetooth earbuds is fairly easy, and the connection is stable as a roam around my apartment. Its USB-C port does have some kind of moisture sensor that will prevent it from charging if it detects a bit of water in the port, which could save you from zapping it after an inadvertent spill, but it's not the same as full waterproofing.Lasts up to six weeks, USB-C charging, 9W The $100 Kindle also isn't waterproofed like the last couple Paperwhite generations have been, so it's not a good "relaxing bathtime or poolside" device. If blue light is something you’re sensitive to, especially if you’ll be doing a lot of reading right before bed, your eyes might thank you for getting a Paperwhite instead. On my review unit, that was most visible across the top of the display, though on-screen content is always perfectly legible. Second, the front light has a pretty bluish tint, compared not just to the Kindles with “warm light” capabilities but also the tint of an older 10th-gen Paperwhite we compared it to. First, with just four front-light LEDs (compared to 17 for the current Paperwhite), you might notice that the screen isn’t lit perfectly evenly. There are two things to know about the screen that don't show up well in our pictures. The main question to answer: Who should buy this Kindle, and who should spend $40 more on the waterproofing and larger, nicer screen of the current Kindle Paperwhite? Hardware overview
We’ve had the new Kindle for a few days, not long enough to read more than a few hundred pages or put a dent in the battery but long enough to develop some impressions about the device's strengths and weaknesses. USB-C, Bluetooth support for audiobooks, and a boosted 16GB of storage round out the spec sheet. For the first time, the basic Kindle has the same 300 PPI screen density as the rest of the lineup, and Amazon has streamlined the top and side bezels around the 6-inch screen to make the device smaller and lighter. Also called the “2022 release” or “Kindle (11th generation)” on Amazon’s product pages, this model costs $10 more than the one it replaces (inflation comes for us all), but it has new perks to help justify the price bump. So we come to the new $100 Kindle (or $120, with no ads). But it’s just as important for Amazon to keep pushing the baseline forward for the people who want to hop into the ecosystem but don’t want to spend too much.
