Best Kindle Reviews 2018

The actual cost of a Kindle e-reader greatly depends on its functions, connectivity options, and features. For example, a model which comes with adaptive built-in light, a high-resolution screen, and maybe even a leather cover thrown into the package will cost more than a simple Kindle which has Wi-Fi connectivity. Generally, you are looking at several price ranges such as budget-friendly Kindles which are usually priced under $100 depending on their storage size and display options, moderately-priced Kindles that cost between $100 and $200, and ultimately high-end models priced on average around $250.

A Kindle which comes with free cellular connectivity usually costs more, but you are also connected at all times and can download books from almost anywhere. We are happy to mention here that even if you go for a cheap Kindle e-reader, it still has Wi-Fi connectivity, so you can download as many books as you want from the Kindle Store on Amazon! But also expect for these cheaper models to contain less features and possibly shorter battery life.

In the last section we already mentioned a couple of aspects related to Kindle e-readers, so let's go ahead and expound on that to find out more information about them.

• Display Resolution - This basically refers to the number of pixels per inch (ppi) a Kindle e-reader can display. Some models have a resolution of 167 ppi while others can go up to 300 ppi.
• Color - In most cases, you can have your Kindle in black and white colors, but there are Kindle tablets which are available in more color options.
• Built-in Light - This is a feature that is good to have, especially if you love to read at night.
• Display Size - Most Kindles have a screen up to 6 inches, but some of them can stretch even further, reaching 7 inches and giving you a broader reading experience.

These are but a few of the characteristics of today's Kindles. Remember that you can settle for deals and get a free premium cover or a power adapter in the package as well. The leather cover will protect your beloved Kindle from accidents and damage while giving it a more professional look.

Here is something you probably don’t know about Kindles and e-readers in general: Their screen doesn’t actually fire pixels like your smartphone or tablet does. They use e-ink which is a special type of technology reserved only for high-quality e-readers. This type of displaying information is monochromatic (black on white and vice versa), however it consumes much less energy than regular displays that use RGB technology (red, green, and blue to create colors). Your advantage? You can benefit of up to 2 or 3 weeks of battery life, even if you use your Kindle for hours every day!

It also depends on if the Kindle has a built-in light and if it does, how many LEDs are used. Some Kindles have 4 LEDs, others come with 12, and you have the option to control their brightness which is really neat! All Kindles also come with an anti-glare display, so you can easily read outdoors in plain sunlight without having the sun covering text on your gadget.

We would like to add here that some Kindles incorporate buttons which basically turn the pages, but they can perform other functions too. If the Kindle doesn’t have buttons, you can go to the next page by simply pressing the right side of the screen (yep, Kindles have touchscreen display), or the left side if you want to go to the previous page.

Kindles can also easily connect to your Wi-Fi network and synchronize your reading progress across your devices. You can charge your Kindle from the PC using a standard USB cable or you can also get a compatible power adapter and enjoy several more weeks of intellectual advancement!

The beauty of a Kindle is that thanks to its 4GB internal memory or more, you can actually store thousands of books as these occupy just a few kilobytes. Some new Kindles are also designed to be waterproof up to 6 feet, so if you accidentally drop them in the bathtub, they are not gone forever. Lastly, Kindles are also backed up by warranty periods (usually 1 year). But they are quite tough and durable little gadgets, and especially if you protect them using a leather cover, you can actually enjoy your Kindle for years to come!
