All the help you need to power through your reading list this year.
So, you're thinking of picking up an Amazon Kindle but don't know where to start? If you're trying to read more books this year, one of the best Kindles can help. There are a lot of good reasons to pick one up – if you want to bring books with you on a trip then an ebook reader won't weigh you down, and we can all agree that binge-watching adaptations like Bridgerton, Conversations with Friends and Heartstopper won't count towards your reading list.
Kindles are the most popular e-reader models for good reason. They all come with features that make it easier to get started and to keep going, with a massive library of titles at lower prices than their paperback counterparts. When it comes to picking the best Kindle for your needs, though, there are a few key differences to consider between the models in the range.
No matter which you end up going for, all of them are lightweight and thin with loads of room for thousands of books. It's just worth knowing that the fancy £200+ Kindle Oasis is probably a bit excessive if all you want is a simple device for a bit of reading before bed.
TL;DR? Here's a quick rundown of our favourites:
We test out the best Kindles by using them just as you would in your own home. We check out how they are to use and set up and make sure they've got enough battery to get through all the books in The Witcher series. We try out the adjustable backlight to see if it makes reading more comfortable, and we assess how easy it is to navigate around the interface and buy new books.
