Most people call any ereader, irrespective of brand, aKindle.
And while I find that annoying, I also understand why.
Best Kindle Paperwhite
TheKindle Colorsoft the only color Kindle so far and part of the 2024 range isn’t widely available either.
Our review process is very thorough.

An updated screen and 32GB of storage add to its value, although wireless charging might be superfluous.
Good colors, responsive performance and excellent battery life what more could you want?
It gets the latests E Ink Carta 1300 screen, adding more responsiveness and clarity.
Below you’ll find details for each of the best Kindles in our list.
When Amazon released a Signature Edition of the Paperwhite in 2021, I wasn’t sold on it.
I thought wireless charging was superfluous and paying extra for it was not worthwhile at all.
With the 2024 release, however, I’ve changed my mind.
Between the extra storage and the waterproofing, the 2024 Paperwhite Signature Edition takes over as the best Kindle.
It’s only the most minimal upgrade, but it’s the only entry-level Kindle now available.
And that made it harder for me to justify it’s higher cost over the previous model.
I won’t call it ‘cheap’ anymore, but it is still the most affordable Kindle available.
With theoperating systemnow large, there’s just 11.5GB of usable storage on board.

At maximum brightness, the screen can be borderline painful in dim conditions.
Like I said, it’s the same old Kindle dressed up in a new color.
If you pick up the 2024 Kindle then, it’s not a bad ereader at all.

If you’re already embedded into Amazon’s ecosystem, it’s arguably the best option.
However, there are cheaper 7-inch color ereaders that offer more features.
The only disappointment was the build.

Other than that, I still think the writing tools offered by Kobo and Onyx Boox are better.
If money is no object, though, I’d say that screen makes up for it.
It’s the sharpest we’ve seen yet and performs well.

Kobo’s partnership with Libby, however, expands that to other regions thanks to the baked-in OverDrive support.
And we think both these features add value to the rig.

Even its 4-week battery life is fine.
The best of the best, though, the 10.2-inch Kindle Scribe.
However, its size makes it a little less portable than the rest of the Kindle range.
