Amazon went from selling books to transforming how we read with the introduction of the Kindle e-reader in 2007. Jeff Bezos knew that digital distribution was the future of print and charged his team with developing an portable, power-efficient digital book before anybody else could make it to market. Using e-ink technology to display black & white text on a non-illuminated screen, Kindles all boast massive battery life, exceptional convenience and a huge library of available content from Amazon.
Should I get a Kindle for reading books and can I stop the display flashing on page turns?
Debating buying a Kindle eReader? I'll explain if it could replace paper books or an iPad - and how to manage the display settings.Since then, Kindle has made significant improvements with new models having screen lighting, more storage and other cool features.
Kindle (2022) Deals
The newest base model Kindle introduced a 300ppi screen for even more visual clarity - great for reading manga and illustrated books - as well as finally changing the charging port to USB-C like almost every other portable device on the market. As with most other models, the 2022 Kindle has both ad-supported and ad-free incarnations, with a $30 price difference between the two. Ads only appear on the home screen when the unit is asleep. Base Kindles are still at the regular retail price, but Amazon has deals on the Essentials Bundles, which come with a power adapter and your choice of fabric cover.

If you're a nighttime reader and don't want to wear a headlamp in bed like an old-timey coal miner, the Kindle Paperwhite might hit your sweet spot.
