Best e-book readers in 2024: Kindle, Kobo, Boox, and more
'E-reader' doesn't just mean 'Kindle' any more - here are the best from every brand
The modern e-reader with an E-ink display has existed for more than a decade. Currently, Amazon's Kindle is the most popular brand, but it faces competition from others such as Rakuten with its Kobo e-readers, Onyx's Boox e-readers, and Barnes & Noble's Nook line of e-readers.
Phones and tablets aren't the best tools for reading articles online. Many flagships use OLED displays, which may cause eye strain when used for too long. A better alternative is a high-quality e-reader built with E Ink technology, which illuminates its display using ambient light.
Best Kindles in 2024: Find the perfect Amazon e-reader
The right Kindle e-reader will have you reading up a storm in no time
Remember when Amazon exclusively sold books and operated out of a small, suburban garage? Nearly three decades later, its Kindle e-reader family is one of the best tablets for getting your fix of the written word.

Best Amazon Kindle Scribe cases in 2024
Durable, attractive, or affordable, there's a great Kindle Scribe case for you
The Kindle Scribe is not only Amazon's largest e-reader but also the only model that supports note-taking, thanks to stylus support. Since its launch, it has received multiple major software updates that have added more features and greatly enhanced the overall experience, making it one of the best e-readers you can buy. However, the Kindle Scribe isn't without competition, with a growing range of E Ink tablets now on the market.
I review e-readers for a living, and these are the Kindle deals I'd buy for Cyber Monday
Looking for a new Kindle but don't know which to pick?
If you're a reader who can't justify the expense of a tablet, (even with all the tablet deals out there) e-readers are where it's at. I've loved e-readers since I got my first taste with a Nook 1st Edition. From there, I quickly moved to Amazon to play with Kindles, and then onto competing devices as I explored the bounds of the tech. It's why I review E Ink devices at an Android site (thankfully, Boox squared that circle, bringing Android to E Ink).

What is an E Ink display, and how does it work?
Learn about how the fascinating screen technology works
When Amazon dropped the first Kindle on the world in 2007, it single-handedly created the e-reader market. Even though devices like the Kindle and the Kobo can't compete with a high-end tablet in terms of 24-bit color depth or 60Hz refresh rate, they blow those devices out of the water when it comes to battery life by taking a different approach to their displays.

Expand your library beyond the Amazon book store
Amazon Kindles do wonders for streamlining reading on the go, storing your favorites from its massive library of content, safe and accessible via a compact and intuitive interface. It's no wonder they're ranked among the best e-readers on the market.

Every bookworm worth their salt owns or wants to buy an e-reader.

Some e-readers even have the added advantage of writing and drawing with an active stylus pen.
Kindle Scribe update delivers new annotation options and navigation controls
Amazon commits to even more software updates going forward
When the Kindle Scribe was released this past December, our review noted that Amazon had neglected the software components of the device. But this year, Amazon will roll out regular software updates for the Scribe, starting with an update that is out now.
The Kindle Paperwhite is the mid-range e-book reader from Amazon, a rather popular device thanks to its flush 6.8-inch screen, even frontlighting, and comfortable size. Our review says as much; it's an impressive little e-reader. But to date, there's only been one color available for the fifth-generation Paperwhite. Starting today, both Denim and Agave Green colors will be available for the 16GB Paperwhite as well as the 32GB Signature Edition. But that's not all; Amazon is also launching a matching Agave Green leather case (with no need to launch a Denim cover, as it already exists).

Kindle e-readers have long been favorites of ours, and we've often included a few of them to the list of best e-readers on the market.

It's one of the nicest e-readers ever released

The higher-tier Kindles, especially, look and feel like premium devices, with helpful touches like a wide array of LED lights and automatic dimming to ensure eye comfort. It usually costs quite a bit to get your hands on a high-end e-reader, but Amazon's Prime Early Access Sale offers the perfect opportunity to jump into the world of e-books at a reasonable price.
