These new e-readers cost $140 and $190 respectively, and will both be released on October 27. The basic Kindle has a backlit screen, while the Oasis’ display has gotten better enough to justify the splurge for heavy ebook readers.Īmazon’s response to this shakeup is the 8th-Generation Kindle Paperwhite and its first ever Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition. These design compromises made the Kindle Paperwhite one of the best “happy medium” tech purchases you could make. The Paperwhite always had enough features, namely a backlit display, to differentiate it from Amazon’s standard Kindle, without requiring you to shell out $280 for the Kindle Oasis, which has non-essential but nice-to-have extras like a larger display. Plus, considering many ebooks cost less than $5, that store credit will take you long to populate any new Kindle you buy.For years, whenever someone would ask for an e-reader recommendation our response would be simple: The Kindle Paperwhite. It's still expensive, of course, but not such a hit on your wallet. If you're set on the Kindle Oasis, the base model will cost around $175. Owners of the models we mentioned will receive a 30 percent off code if they're buying a new Kindle and a staggering $40 of credit towards buying ebooks. To aid your decision-making, Amazon is offering a financial incentive for upgrading. The Kindle Paperwhite and higher-end models also have flush glass screens, while the 2021 Signature Paperwhite even offers wireless charging. Plus, with some models, you can even use warm light on your Kindle to make reading at night easier than ever. For example, all Kindle models nowadays have front-lit screens, a feature that single-handedly revolutionizes the entire reading experience.
While the lack of buttons is the biggest change, there are other technological advances that older models are also missing out on.
