Shopping for a Kindle? I recommend this model to most people. Here's why
"I tested the 2024 base model Kindle and fell in love with its thin and portable build. I found myself downloading more e-books from my public library and reading a wider variety of novels because of how easy it was to rent them through Libby and read them while I sat on the subway or passed the time in the waiting room of doctor's appointments. The Kindle actually fits in my coat pocket, which is nearly miraculous for a woman given how small women's pockets are. The page-turning and book-loading speeds were significantly quicker than my Kindle Oasis or Kindle Paperwhite from 2022."
"I recommend the base model Kindle to people who have never owned an e-reader before, because the Kindle Paperwhite has a few more functionalities that major bookworms and e-reader obsessives would appreciate, but make no difference to e-reading novices. You're getting around six weeks of battery life on the base model Kindle -- a long time in between charges, to say the least."
"A Kindle is a portable, e-reading powerhouse that can be loaded with every book on your to-read list. Amazon's Black Friday sale kicked off last week, and one of the most popular e-readers, the , is on sale for only $80. It's nearly 30% off and saves you $30 and applies to both the Matcha and Black models. You can also check out offers on most of the other Kindles, like the Paperwhite, Colorsoft, or Scribe."
The 2024 base model Kindle is thin and highly portable, making it easy to carry in a coat pocket and reducing the need to haul physical books. Amazon's Black Friday sale reduces the base model to $80, nearly 30% off, with the discount applying to Matcha and Black models. The device offers significantly quicker page-turning and book-loading speeds compared with older Kindle models. Battery life on the base model reaches about six weeks between charges. The Kindle supports borrowing e-books from public libraries via Libby, and additional Kindle models include Paperwhite, Colorsoft, and Scribe.
