Kindle

This is the basic Kindle and the most affordable of the line. It has a starting price of $89.99, and a great starter eReader. The latest model (unlike previous ones) now includes a front light so you can read indoors and outdoors. It will allow you to be able to read your eBooks in more places throughout the day. Just remember it won’t be available until April 10th but you can pre-order your Kindle now.

Kindle Paperwhite

This is the next step up and the Kindle Paperwhite starts at $129.99. It can hold thousands of books like the basic one and the Kindle Paperwhite is backlit which means you can read in the dark without any problems. The new version is now waterproof and includes twice the amount of storage.

At first glance, it may seem like the specs are similar, but that’s more because these are simple eReaders — they’re not tablets or iPads. The resolution and the lighting will make a big difference though, and the new Oasis and Paperwhite are waterproof, making reading and relaxing in a tub or poolside easier to do. When it comes to choosing the right one, it comes down to budget, features and your needs, and what feels right for you. Comment
