It's impressive what the most basic Amazon Kindle offers for under $100: weeks of battery life, thousands of books in your pocket, and the ability to read at night without straining your eyes. Right now, you can get the ad-free Amazon Kindle for $95.99 (originally $119.99), which is a dollar off its lowest price ever, according to price-checking tools.
Kindles have changed a lot over the years, and it can be confusing if you're considering your first one. We have a guide for understanding Kindles, but honestly, the most basic Amazon Kindle is plenty for most people. It comes with 16 GB of storage, meaning you can fit thousands of ebooks in its library. This latest Kindle has a 300 ppi high-resolution display, which makes it look and feel like you're actually reading a printed book. The glare-free and paper-like display is perfect for reading outdoors, but my favorite part is its battery life, which lasts an impressive average of six weeks (depending on your use and brightness settings).
Some new features also include a VoiceView screen reader that works over Bluetooth as well as being able to listen to your audiobooks through Audible. I personally use Libby to get audiobooks and ebooks from my local libraries directly sent to my Kindle for free.
If you're starting to build out your library from scratch, Amazon releases free ebooks every month for Prime Members. You can also use it for work or school to read web articles, PDFs, or textbooks by sending documents to your Kindle.
Although the "ad-supported" (means the screensaver when the device is in sleep mode will show ads) version is $84.99 (originally $99.99), you can get the ad-free version for $11 more, instead of the usual $20 to upgrade it. This way you'll be able to use your book cover as your screensaver. A nice touch I think is worth more than the $11 it costs.
