You may want to subscribe to Kindle Unlimited for $12 a month. If you buy every single book you want to read at Kindle, it can add up! But there are ways to save some money while reading as much as your heart desires. If you use a case, these might not work, but the brand sells its own thin clear option for $13. You should see exactly which models they work with on the Amazon pages, as well as on this page on the Strapsicle website. There are three sizes meant to hold different types of e-readers. I love my phone Popsocket, but after a particularly long scrolling session, my fingers start to ache. People also use Popsockets for this reason, if you prefer that.

Your hands won't cramp, you won't accidentally hit the screen and flip pages, and the reader won't slip out of your hands. Attach one or both to the back of your Kindle-one is angled for your right hand and the other for your left-and slide your hand in. I'm not quite there yet, but I do love these silicone Strapsicles. When I'm a couple of hours into a reading session and my hands start to cramp, I fantasize about setting up one of those hands-free tablet holders so I can lie in bed with it directly in front of my face. We've tried other E Ink tablets for writing, but this is probably the best (and cheapest) option. Weirdly, it's not waterproof like the other pricier Kindles. Since it was released, Amazon has updated it with additional brush types, a convert-to-text in export tool, and better page navigation and subfolders. There are 16-, 32-, and 64-gigabyte options. The screen size does make reading easy too, especially if you need to increase the font size, but it takes away some of its portability if you prefer to keep an e-reader in your pocket or small purse. The enormous 10.2-inch screen is ideal for taking notes, marking up PDFs, or doodling, and there are numerous paper formats you can choose, like college-ruled or dotted. There are now some options available with that functionality, but it's mostly crosswords and guided journals. You can't write directly on most books, which is frustrating-you have to instead use sticky notes. It's already pricey at $340, but you can spend an additional $30 for the premium pen that includes an eraser on the opposite end. Thanks to the included pen, you can now write on your Kindle ( 8/10, WIRED Recommends)! There's no lag, and the outcome looks very similar to your handwriting. But this one isn't waterproof if you think that will be a problem with your kiddos, and there's no adjustable warm lighting. ★ A cheaper alternative with more storage: The newest base Kindle Kids ($120) is cheaper than the 8-gig Paperwhite Kids, but for 16 gigabytes (that's also double what the original Kids Edition was). There are 8- and 16-gigabyte storage options There is a web browser, but it's restricted by default (you can completely disable it too). If you're going to get your kid an entertainment device, an ebook reader that doesn't have access to social media is a safer choice. If your kid smashes it just once, you get your money back. (You can access the same platform across other Amazon devices, like Fire Tablets or Echo speakers.) It also comes with a case and a two-year no-questions-asked replacement guarantee. The rest of the features are pretty much the same as the new Kindle Paperwhite, except you'll get a year's subscription to Amazon Kids+, a kid-friendly content library with parental controls. The 2021 Paperwhites include a Kids Edition, which brings a bigger and sleeker screen, more lighting options, and IPX8 water resistance for the first time over the original Kindle Kids Edition. The 2021 Paperwhites all have USB-C charging, but the Signature supports wireless charging. Still, if you want to save some cash, just clean out your backlog you can remove a book from your device without deleting it entirely from your Amazon account. If you mostly listen to audiobooks, you may want to go for the Signature, since those tend to take up more room. That's a big difference, but you can still read and store a lot of books with 8 gigabytes (around 5,000).

The Signature has 32 gigabytes of storage and the Standard has 8 gigs. Its faster page-turn rate means there's no delay while you read. The screens are brighter overall at their max and have adjustable warm lighting, but only the Signature can auto-adjust that brightness to your surroundings-we think that should be standard across all models. We tried the Signature Edition ( 8/10, WIRED Recommends), but all three have bigger, 6.8-inch screens with smaller bezels. The step-up, waterproof e-reader went from one to three models, and they rival the more expensive Oasis. We think most people will like the Paperwhites the best.
