Amazon Kindle (2022)

The most basic Kindle model is the easiest to recommend for the majority of people. It's affordable and packs a fantastic screen for reading

Compact size sets it apart from the larger Paperwhite and Oasis ; Very sharp display makes reading a pleasure ; The switch to USB-C is welcome ; Access to Amazon Prime’s ebook and audiobook ecosystem

Slight price increase ; Misses out on a waterproof body ; Feels a bit cheap

The most basic Kindle model is the easiest to recommend for the majority of people. It’s affordable, packs a fantastic screen for reading and finally has USB-C for charging.

Amazon Kindle (2022) review

A cumulation of 15 years' ebook experience?

Decent price ; Compact design is good for travellers ; Excellent battery life ; Improved screen

Screen may be too small for some ; Not the most comfortable to hold ; Reliance on Amazon services may frustrate

The Amazon Kindle (2022) is a great basic ereader – with the emphasis on ‘basic’. This means it’s a great second device for people who want to read their Kindle library while travelling, but if you’re looking for a main ereader for use at home, then...

Amazon Kindle (2022) 11th gen review: Who needs a Paperwhite?

Amazon's newest entry-level Kindle has a much sharper display and USB-C charging, making it even better than ever.

Compact and lightweight design ; USB-C charging ; Sharper display makes text crisp ; Wide ecosystem of books

No waterproofing ; No adjustable warmth or auto brightness ; More expensive than older model

With its much sharper display and USB-C charging port, the entry-level Kindle is better than ever and is the Kindle we'd recommend for most people. It gets all the important things absolutely right. It's a great reading device.

Amazon Kindle (2022) review

It's not as good as the Paperwhite but with an improved display the entry-level Kindle is more than good enough

Good display ; USB-C charging ; Fast performance

Ads on cheaper model ; Not waterproof ; Scuffs easily ; Restrictive sideloading options

Amazon’s entry-level 2022 Kindle packs in USB-C charging for the first time and an improved display, but it’s still insulting to pay more to not see lock screen ads. It’s still the cheapest Kindle, but the Paperwhite and Kobo Clara 2E are attractive...

Amazon Kindle (2022) review: simple, delightful reading

The Kindle (2022) is the most basic e-reader that Amazon offers, but for some, that's simply enough.

Lightweight and compact size 6-inch e-ink screen with 300 ppi Dark mode and backlight display USB-C charging and great battery life Very affordable

No ambient light sensor Not waterproof

“Amazon's base-model Kindle gets some big upgrades this year, making it a worthy option to pick up for a mere $100.”

Much sharper screen than previous Kindle ; Long battery life ; Supports plenty of file formats

Not waterproof ; Front light color temperature isn't adjustable

Kindle 2022 E-Reader Review: The Cheaper Alternative to the Paperwhite

The latest entry-level Kindle has enough appealing new features to make you think twice before paying up for a Paperwhite.

Slightly lighter and smaller design than previous model ; 300 ppi high-resolution display ; Built-in light ; Good value ($40 less than Kindle Paperwhite) ; USB-C charging

Not waterproof ; Lacks more premium feel of Paperwhite

Amazon Kindle (2022) Review: The Best At The One Thing It Does - SlashGear

The Amazon Kindle (2022 release) is just about as on-point as it gets when it comes to reading digital books. Is this the last evolution of the ereader?

Long-lasting battery life ; USB-C port ; Great resolution at 300ppi ; Huge library of content

One-trick pony ; Too many other devices do the same trick
