Made from a combination of recycled magnesium and plastics, the 2022 Kindle is the latest in Amazon’s line of environmentally-friendly eReaders. From the moment I unboxed it, I couldn’t believe it – it was almost featherlight, which prompted me to immediately snap a case on it. It’s being touted as the lightest Kindle ever and, yeah, it shows. Design and display Image: Isabella Noyes/Gizmodo Australia This does make the choice a bit tougher if you’re choosing between the 11th Generation Kindle eReader or the basic Paperwhite, especially because they differ by $20 in price. But with all the updated specs, $40 doesn’t feel like too much of a stretch. This means that the standard Kindle is no longer the cheapest option on the market, surrendering its place to the Kobo Nia ($149.95). ![]() There is no audio jack, but let’s face it, it’s 2022 – who wants to use corded headphones anyway?Īs you can imagine, the price has been inflated by $40 more than the previous edition, thanks to the addition of all these new features. The new Kindle has also been updated so you can download audiobooks onto it and listen wirelessly by Bluetooth. So you can imagine what a flex it is to have a whopping 16GB for books alone. That’s double the books of what most entry-level eReaders offer.ġGB of storage on a Kindle can hold about 250 to 300 books which is a lot, even for serial readers. It turns out – a lot!

PRICEĭark mode, lightweight, updated and faster processor, fantastic battery life. As Amazon’s 11th generation Kindle, it’s been given some serious love to ensure this eReader solidifies itself as the world’s #1 budget-friendly eReader.Īmazon's latest entry-level eReader model. While it’s tempting to be lured in by the brand new Kindle Scribe or the Kobo Elipsa, those new to eBooks are better off trying an entry-level one before committing to a more expensive and therefore “better” eReader.įor that reason, I decided to review the all-new Amazon Kindle and give it a whirl. If you’re going to transition to an eReader, you’re going to want to do it right. The smell of paper, the act of turning a page and proudly showing off just how much you’ve read of that fat fantasy novel.

Other file types will have to be loaded using Send to Kindle. Only AZW, PRC, MOBI, or TXT extensions are supported. You can’t directly download PDFs or EPUBs from the Scribe’s built-in browser.But worse than that are all the confusing limitations around e-book formats and what you can or can’t do. ![]()
