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.

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.

A Kindle is made for distraction-free reading with some extra features related to reading and study. If you’re looking for watching videos and using apps, then you’ll want to look at Amazon’s Kindle Fire. The Kindle readers aren’t made for playing games, they were developed with avid readers in mind and they get better with each new version.
