This is the Goldilocks in Amazons line and our present CNET Editors Choice in the category. Here are some things we enjoy about the Kindle Paperwhite:
At $90, this ebook reader does cost $10 more than the previous design, the Kindle 2016, however this Kindle gadget regularly goes on sale for as little as $60. We choose the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite, which has the high-resolution screen (text and images appear a bit sharper), is waterproof and has a somewhat better lighting scheme.
The Kids Edition on sale here includes a case– there are 4 case alternatives to select from– in addition to a year of Amazon Kids Plus (FreeTime Unlimited), which usually costs $3 a month and gives you access to hundreds of kids books. Amazon Kids Plus consists of the total Harry Potter series, and the first book from other popular series such as Artemis Fowl.
It has a “flush-front” style with a back made from a softer, grippy material instead of tough plastic..
It has integrated Bluetooth, so you can download Amazon Audible audiobooks and listen to them with cordless earphones.
Keep in mind that Amazon might upgrade the Kindle Paperwhite in 2020 (it was launched in Nov. 2018). Its uncertain how much of an upgrade it will be if and when that happens. USB-C charging could be included and possibly the lighting plan could be updated, however we wouldnt expect any dramatic upgrades.

Its a totally waterproof Kindle, like the high-end Kindle Oasis, and has a plastic screen that Amazon says is shatter- and scratch-resistant.
Note that Amazon could update the Kindle Paperwhite in 2020 (it was launched in Nov. 2018). The newest model of Amazons entry-level ebook reader, which Amazon just calls the Kindle, now has a self-illuminated screen and an upgraded style. At $90, this ebook reader does cost $10 more than the previous model, the Kindle 2016, however this Kindle device regularly goes on sale for as little as $60. We prefer the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite, which has the high-resolution display (text and images appear a bit sharper), is water resistant and has a slightly better lighting scheme. If you do not desire to invest much for an e-reader, the standard Kindle is a great option, especially when its marked down.
