That's good news because reading on Kindle is comfortable and easy. Many reports, guides, older books, and other documents are available for free as a PDF. The cost of e-books adds up quickly, so getting free reading material for your Kindle is a welcome idea.

Amazon Kindle Scribe review: Great for reading manga, not drawing it
We finally get a Kindle DX successor, but taking notes and drawing feels tacked on

Amazon comes clean about how the 3G shutdown will affect older Kindles
Some customers get a free Kindle Oasis, some get a $50-70 discount for a new one and just two weeks to take advantage of it
Read update
Last month, we asked Amazon what was going to happen when AT&T's planned 3G shutdown in 2022 lands — an important question, as the company's Whispernet-branded 3G connectivity for many Kindle devices would be affected, since it piggybacks on AT&T's network. In some cases, as with particularly old Kindles missing Wi-Fi, this shutdown would mean they'd stop working entirely. While the company wouldn't answer our questions at the time, now it's emailing affected device owners explaining they'll get a $50-70 discount towards a new Kindle and $15-25 in eBook credit, and Amazon tells us that Kindle 1st gen owners are outright getting a free Kindle Oasis.
Kindle Vella is Amazon's new interactive reading experience that's only available on iOS for some reason
Looks like we’ll at least be able to see these stories on the web on Android
Kindle Vella sounds like a rather innovative project in a world where novels and other book formats are dominating much of the industry. Vella wants to give authors the option to publish short, interactive stories in a serialized format, created for mobile devices foremost. All mobile devices, you ask? No, in an unexplainable move, only iOS users get to fully enjoy this innovative new format, with Vella unavailable in the Kindle Android app.As Amazon explains, Vella is part of its Kindle Direct Publishing program (KDP), which allows independent authors to publish their work for free, both digitally and in paperback. Vella stories consist of easily digestible chunks of 600 to 5,000 words, with the first three episodes available for free (if you've ever heard of the concept of "chapters," this episode-based format should feel familiar). In case you want to know how a story continues, you'll have to pay to unlock it by purchasing or acquiring tokens (microtransactions, yay!), which are available in bundles on Amazon.com and the iOS Kindle app — but not in the Android app.
Amazon's latest entry-level Kindle currently costs $89.99, but for today only, there's a cheaper alternative. Woot is currently selling the previous-gen Kinde for just $49.99, a $50 savings from the original MSRP.

Amazon's latest Kindle Paperwhite is now waterproof and features a higher resolution display than the base model, so you can read worry-free, whether you're poolside, on the beach, or in the tub.
If you're looking for an e-reader this Black Friday, you're probably checking out Amazon.
