The Best Kindles to Take Your Library Anywhere
Kindles are one of our favorite devices. They’re simple, reliable, and perfect at what they do—in one palm-sized device, you can bring thousands of books with you to the park or your mountain. They get more than a month of battery life per charge and you can subscribe to get unlimited books from Amazon. You can also get free books from your local library. But what’s the best Kindle? Our guide will help you decipher the differences.
Are you ready to wade even further into the field of Amazon devices? We have guides to the Best Fire Tablets, Best Alexa Speakers, as well as many other buying guides for more advice.
Updated June 2021: We’re patiently awaiting new Kindles in 2021. We’ve adjusted prices, and refreshed copy in some areas.
