#KINDLE PAPERWHITE 2021 FREE#

Browsing a digital catalog is not as magical as spending an afternoon looking over every shelf in a library, but such is the ebook life (no one says you can't read both!). But it's still something, and there are even some magazines included.īut if you don't want another monthly subscription and don't want to continue giving your money to Amazon, take advantage of ebooks available with your library card.

There are not as many options as with Kindle Unlimited, and in a lot of cases you'll see both Unlimited and Prime options lumped together, so you'll have to look closely to find the free ones. If you already pay for a Prime account, you're eligible for some free books through Prime Reading.

There's a 30-day free trial you should take advantage of. You can only choose from the Unlimited catalog, but there are millions of titles there, including audiobooks and magazines. You may want to subscribe to Kindle Unlimited for $10 a month. You may be surprised at the cost of some Kindle books (I was), but there are ways to save some money while reading as much as your heart desires. We've tried other e-ink tablets for writing on, too, but this is probably the best (and cheapest) option. Weirdly, it's not waterproof like the other pricier Kindles. 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.

The pen sticks magnetically to the right side. It's already a pricey reader at $340, but you can spend an additional $30 for the premium pen that includes an eraser on the opposite end it's helpful and makes writing feel more effortless and akin to writing with a real pencil. With it, there's no lag, and the outcome looks as similar to your handwriting as it can. We like that Kindles excel at their one function, but the newest Scribe adds an additional use, writing, thanks to the included pen. 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.
