This isn’t great news for those looking to import their own PDFs or EPUB files onto an e-reader (if this is you, Kobo’s support for a wide range of file formats is a big advantage), or for anyone reluctant to embrace a reliance on Amazon. However, unlike Kobo, you are limited to what’s available on the Kindle store.

The Kindle ebook store itself is comprehensive, offering a vast range of titles, from bestselling new fiction, to classics, biographies and cookbooks. The reading light (another 2019 addition) can be manually adjusted from a drop down menu, and changing the typeface, text size and other accessibility settings couldn’t be simpler. In fact, I’d argue it’s still more than fair to refer to Amazon’s basic Kindle as an entry-level e-reader – it’s still the cheapest you can buy. This is a step up, yes, but with the rather significant increases in display resolution and storage space, as well as inflationary changes in the years since, that’s forgivable.

The 11th-gen Kindle launches at £85 (with ads) and £95 (without ads), which is £15 more expensive than the 2019 model. Amazon Kindle (2022) review: Price and competition Battery life is longer, too: a single charge now lasts up to six weeks according to Amazon, with the caveat that activity is limited to half an hour of “wireless usage” a day, with the brightness level set to 13 (maximum brightness is set at 24).įinally, storage space has increased four-fold, from 4GB to 16GB, allowing for a more comprehensive library of titles on-the-go. The new entry-level Kindle has also caught up with the Paperwhite by introducing USB-C connectivity, replacing its previous micro-USB port.
