How much kindle

But the upcharge includes a two-year no-questions-asked replacement guarantee. If your kid smashes it just once, you get your money back. Audible books and Spanish titles are now available, and Amazon's kid selections include popular series like Harry Potter and Phoebe and Her Unicorn. If you're going to get your kid an entertainment device, an ebook reader that doesn't have a browser or access to social media is probably as safe as you can get.

See more in the Paperwhite section above. We're hoping to test it soon. Have a pal who's ready to give up their Kindle? It may work fine for you. Here's a breakdown of every Kindle Amazon has ever made. If you're buying a sixth-generation Kindle Paperwhite or newer, it's probably just fine. You may get fewer pixels, and it may lack Bluetooth for audiobooks or any semblance of waterproofing, but older Kindles generally hold up well for reading—even used or refurbished.

Just deregister an old Kindle and wipe it , then load up your account. This page shows the newest software each Kindle should run. As a general rule, if there are any buttons on the front of a Kindle or a keyboard, don't shell out money for it.

If properly updated it may still work, but you're going to enjoy the experience much more with a newer device. However, it's not included in Amazon Prime. It's worth remembering that you can only store up to ten titles on your device at once, however, though it's easy to swap these titles out so you'll never get stuck paying for something you don't ultimately enjoy.

One of the latest subscription services to hit the Amazon suite, Kindle Unlimited not only offers free books for your cash, but you can also grab free magazines and even free Audible audiobooks with select titles.

That's a fantastic price considering an Audible subscription will set you back far more per month, and can offer fewer audiobooks for your money. It's worth noting that this subscription operates on a 'borrowing' service, so you'll only be able to hold 10 titles in your library at a time, and these will not be available once the membership ends. The Kindle Unlimited price remains the same whether you're a Prime member or not, and is not automatically included in your Prime subscription.

You can sometimes get a reduction or try it for free, especially during the Amazon Black Friday deals. The main new feature is an amber-shade option for the screen background.

This 'warm' light has a much more natural feel, like an old paperback. It looks rather lovely and is less of a strain on your eyes, especially if you're reading at night and wanting to wind down.

Otherwise, this is the same beautifully-designed waterproof luxury e-reader as last time out. There's no getting around the initial asking price is seriously high though, meaning the Paperwhite is still much easier to recommend. This is an upgrade over the older Oasis which is no longer available and a huge improvement. The Kindle Oasis was also the first kindle to support Aubidle audio books, although you'll need a pair of bluetooth wireless headphones to use this feature as there's no built-in speaker or 3.

The Kindle Oasis ereader's 7-inch screen makes it the largest of the Kindle brands and tempting for readers wanting to view a larger page, meaning you won't have to turn pages as often. The page turn buttons are given a wider bezel on the side than the now-discontinued Kindle Voyage, making it easier to hold one-handed - the screen will flip over to accommodate left-handed readers too.

The considerably cheaper Paperwhite models are excellent alternatives and feature the same screen resolution. That larger screen and waterproofing for peace of mind are pretty tempting though. On the plus side, prices should start to drop now that there's a newer model available see above. When looking at a Kindle ereader listing, whether it's on Amazon's website, or a different retailer, you'll often see 'includes special offers' in the title or item description.

Essentially, these Special Offers act as Amazon-based screensaver-style advertisements on your Kindle device. So when you pop your Kindle on from sleep mode you'll see an ad for a book on Amazon's Kindle store, or maybe a third party ad. Annoying right? Actually, I opted for the Special Offers I do love a cheap deal , and it's not bothered me one bit. You can swipe the ad away easily no trying to find the tiny X icon here and get on with your reading straight away.
