After years in the darkness, the more affordable Kindle finally gets an illuminated display. This squeezes the gap between this and the Paperwhite to the point where you'll really have to want waterproofing or more storage to justify paying the higher...
Finally a front light screen on the lower-end Kindle ; Improved contrast display ; Smaller and sleeker design
Only one storage option ; Recessed display will catch dust and dirt ; Not waterproof
Expert review by : Julian Chokkattu (digitaltrends.com)
Amazon has a new Kindle, and it costs just $90. You get 4GB of internal storage to store all your books. There's also Bluetooth in case you want to use Audible to listen instead of read, and the 6-inch screen is perfect for travel. If you're an avid...
Affordable ; Lightweight, easy to hold with one hand ; Adjustable front light ; Long battery life ; Smart features while reading, like X-Ray
Screen isn’t very sharp ; No auto brightness, blue-light filter ; No water resistance
If you want a simple, effective ebook reader, the all-new Amazon Kindle is the best you can buy.

What kind of a Kindle reader are you? If you're the large-type sort, the new low-cost Kindle ($89.99) is all the ebook reader you need. It now packs a front light, so you can read in the dark without bothering anyone around you. For most people,...
Front light. Similar performance to other Kindles.
Not waterproof. Relatively low-resolution screen. Dated design.
The latest low-cost Kindle improves night reading with its front light, but the slightly more expensive Paperwhite offers better overall value for most readers.

Although the Paperwhite remains the Kindle to get, the cheapest model now includes an integrated light and an improved design makes it much more appealing.
The Kindle (2019) has a refined, compact design and is the most affordable Kindle with an integrated light. Base storage bumps up to 4GB. Bluetooth audio is on board for audiobooks. Minor updates enhance Amazon's already best-in-class reader experience.
A little more expensive than the previous model. The ad-free version costs $20 more.

Amazon's $90 Kindle is out to eat the Kindle Paperwhite's lunch. Adding front lighting for the first time on the entry-level ereader, the new 10th-generation Kindle 2019 snags one of the most common reasons buyers had for opting for the more expensive...
Sub-$100 price tag ; Front light makes a big difference ; Great battery life
microUSB rather than USB-C for charging ; No 3G option ; No waterproofing

The Amazon Kindle was first introduced in 2007 and now 12 years later the most affordable model adds integrated lighting so you can read in any lighting condition.
Affordable price ; Integrated lighting ; Audible support ; Comfortable lightweight design
microUSB in a world of USB-C cables

Amazon calls the Kindle a "sanctuary experience," meaning that with the device, you can tune out all external distractions and focus on a book, just like the author intended. And if you're willing to get down and dirty in the Kindle's menus, you can do...
Solid lighting options ; Attractive screen ; Comfortable design
Distracting interface ; Tedious menus ; So-so text resolution
The Kindle can be a good product, if you're willing to tweak it, but reading under default conditions can be very distracting.

Amazon's Kindle is of course the brand most think of when they consider buying an e-reader, but competition does exist and the truth is it makes the company's newest entry-level device look like a poor bargain. The price may be low, but this budget...

New front light makes the basic Kindle more versatile than ever;Audible support via Bluetooth;Massive Kindle library;Lightweight
Lowest PPI Kindle display;Front light is a bit too blue;No inverted colour accessibility option
Expert review by : James Peckham (techradar.com)
If you're looking to buy an ereader right now, it's almost certain you'll be looking to buy something from Amazon's Kindle range. With three products on offer, the Kindle family offers something for everyone, with top-end features restricted to...
Features a backlight Clear display Can listen to audiobooks
Not waterproof Still uses micro USB Limited storage for audiobooks
It’s by no means the best ereader money can buy, but introducing a backlight to the cheapest Kindle means it’s now much more difficult to justify buying a more expensive, top-end ereader. If you’re always reading, the Kindle Paperwhite or Oasis may be...
