Amazon makes the best ebook readers you can buy hands down. Depending on your needs and budget, you might choose the entry-level Kindle, the mid-range Paperwhite, or the high-end Kindle Oasis. No matter your choice, every one of these ebook readers is excellent.
Note that all Kindles come in two versions: with special offers and without. If you choose the ones with special offers, you will see ads on the lock screen and potentially elsewhere, but you will save money.
If you haven't bought a Kindle yet, you can read our full guide to the best ebook readers to help you choose. Or, you can see our favorites - and why we love them - listed below:
- Kindle Oasis: Page-turning buttons, waterproofing, a slim design, and a sharp screen make it the best Kindle you can buy, though it is expensive.
- Kindle: Its $79.99 price makes the original Kindle a bargain even though it lacks a backlight and it's not waterproof.
- Kindle Paperwhite: The new waterproof design makes the 2018 Paperwhite an excellent buy, as does its reasonable price tag, sharp screen, and backlight.
- Kindle for Kids Bundle: If you have kids, you'll want the kids bundle because it comes with a case and a two-year warranty in case of any damage.
Once you've got your Kindle, all that remains is to set it up and get some ebooks on it. The Kindle is fairly simple to use, but it does take some learning to unlock all its secrets.
We've put together a few handy tips and expert tricks to help you make the most of your new Kindle.
