But if you can spend more, the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is the best option. The base Kindle nails the fundamentals and has all the essentials. A single charge will keep your Kindle running for up to six weeks. And since it's a Kindle, you have nothing to worry about battery life. That means you can charge it using the same charger and cable you charge your phone and other devices with.

Another significant update is that the entry-level Kindle finally ditches micro-USB in favor of a USB-C port. But, as far as sharpness is concerned, the base Kindle is now on equal footing with the Paperwhite and Oasis. It does miss out on features like adaptive brightness and Warm Light. The most significant upgrade on the 11th Gen Kindle is the display, which is now much sharper at 300 pixels-per-inch compared to the low-res 167 PPI screen of the Kindle 10th Gen. The Kindle 11th Gen (2022) offers a 6-inch e-ink glare-free display with chunky bezels and an all-plastic design. The latest Kindle 11th Gen (2022) is a big step up from its predecessor, with the updated model borrowing many of the premium features of the Paperwhite. This is a perfect choice if you just want to experience the goodness of an ebook reader without any extras or luxury. The base Kindle model is the most affordable e-reader in the lineup.
