Her accomplishments from this position, in addition to the countless deals she's written, include implementing multiple social media marketing campaigns and launching a Deals Facebook group for the company. After graduating from California State University, Fullerton with a degree in Marketing, Sarah started out as a Freelance Deals Writer at Wirecutter there she focused on newsletter creation, social media promotion, and syndication in addition to deals writing before stepping into a full-time role.

The Scribe is a cool device for big notetakers and students, but again, the standard Kindle should suffice for most needs.Īs a Tech Deals and Streaming Reporter for Insider's Reviews team, Sarah covers the latest movie and series releases along with the best sales on products we recommend. This 11th generation (2022) Kindle, with a 6 screen, has an upgraded high-resolution display, double the storage of the previous model, longer battery life. There's also the brand-new Kindle Scribe ($340) to consider, which is Amazon's first e-reader you can write on. Its dark mode and adjustable brightness are still enough to accommodate bright sunlight and dark rooms with ease. That said, we think the new 11th-gen Kindle offers the best overall value for people who just want a no-fuss e-reader. These features make the pricier models best for adventurous users who want to read a lot on the go, by the pool, or in the bathtub.

Spend even more for the Kindle Oasis, and you get all of that plus an auto-adjusting light, automatic page orientation, page turn buttons, and free cellular connectivity for $250. If you're willing to go up one tier, the Kindle Paperwhite comes with a larger, flush-front screen, an adjustable warm light, and a waterproof build for $140. You can read ebooks, write notes, or mark up PDFs on this new slate, but your wallet will feel a lot lighter. Though it's an excellent value for $100, the 11th-generation Kindle does forgo some extra features you'll find on more expensive Kindle models, including a waterproof design. Other Kindles may have more bells and whistles, but the 11th-generation Kindle keeps things delightfully simple.
