Kindle

Color E Ink has been in the wild for a while now, and we've featured a number of reading and note-taking devices that use it. Amazon's popular Kindle range has so far stuck with shades of gray. That's changed with the launch of the Kindle Colorsoft.

While the Amazon Kindle does simulate the experience of reading a paper book, it doesn't let you hand-write notes onto the pages – at least, not until now. The new Kindle Scribe allows users to do exactly that, utilizing an included stylus.

It's been a while since Amazon treated digital bookworms to a new version of its Kindle Paperwhite ereader, and now the company is making up for that with a bigger display, longer battery life, USB-C, a special Signature Edition, and a kids version.

A new Kindle Oasis has arrived for 2019, and Amazon's top-of-the-line ereader features one big upgrade from its predecessor: a display that can change its color temperature automatically throughout the day to reduce the strain on your eyes.

​Amazon has rolled out yet a thinner and lighter Paperwhite with double the storage. The new version brings some premium trimmings to Amazon’s mid-level e-reader, most notably in the form of high-level waterproofing for relaxing reading in tub or by the pool.

A year and a half after launching the Kindle Oasis as the thinnest and lightest (and most expensive) of its e-readers, Amazon is back with a follow-up. The 2017 model slims down even more while offering a bigger 7-inch screen, and adds bonus features like water resistance and audiobook support.

Voracious readers – especially those with an appreciation for light bags and uncluttered bookselves – should appreciate this spec-by-spec comparison of top e-readers.

To accommodate cartoon-lovers of Japan, Amazon has today released a 32 GB model of the Kindle Paperwhite, optimized to handle the image-intensive stories of the manga genre. ​

There are plenty of impressive eReader alternatives to Amazon's Kindle coming from smaller brands like Kobo. The Canadian company's latest is the Aura One, a 7.8-inch eReader designed not to disturb the circadian rhythm of late-night bookworms.

Amazon has tweaked the design and specs of its entry-level Kindle e-reader, offering a slimmer and slightly more powerful device at the same price. There are also now white versions of both the budget Kindle and the Kindle Paperwhite if you're in the market for an e-reader for the holiday season.

Even though Kindles are already highly portable, the engineers at Amazon clearly felt there was room for improvement and today announced the Kindle Oasis, the thinnest and brightest Kindle yet.

Amazon has updated its Paperwhite e-reader with a couple of tweaks, including an improved display. The new version of the mid-tier product offers a 6-inch display packing 300 pixels into every inch, a significant step up from its predecessor's 212 PPI.
