The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (2021) is one of the best eReaders that you can buy. It has a 6.8-inch display with a pixel density of 300 PPI, which makes it perfect for reading text and images. The front-lit display provides even illumination across the entire screen to give you an optimal reading experience, while still being easy on your eyes. With waterproof features, dark mode support, snappier responses, and more, the Paperwhite 2021 takes the crown for being the best eReader available.

For avid readers, you don’t have to worry about losing your place in your book when using this device because its accelerometer automatically detects when you turn the page. So, it knows what page number to go back to when you start reading again. In addition, this device has a built-in light so that even if there isn’t enough light around you can still continue reading comfortably at night or in dimly lit areas.

This eReader is the ultimate go-to for those looking to kick back and read, especially for epub format lovers. With a larger 7-inch display, 300 PPI, and 32 GB of storageKobo Libra rivals the Paperwhite 2021 version due to its high-performing specs. Kobo Libra 2 also comes with a leather-like exterior (but it’s actually plastic!) which makes it easy to hold in one hand while reading on the bus or at home in bed.

There are also all the other fantastic features that set Kobo eReaders apart from Amazon Kindles counterparts. You can still borrow library books through OverDrive, even if the phone app has switched to Libby. There is also a Pocket integration so you can view stored online content, a wide range of file format compatibility, and a very clean UI. Its Bluetooth connectivity, the first on a Kobo eReader, allows you to listen to audiobooks, and its 32GB of storage is an improvement over the prior versions’ meager 8GB.

The Amazon Kindle (2022) is a 6″ touchscreen tablet with a pixel density of 300ppi. Looking at the specs alone, the Kindle Basic 2022 rivals old Paperwhite models aside from its screen size and battery life. It also has basic features like Wi-Fi, which allows you to access the Internet and sync your Kindle accounts, as well as Bluetooth and micro USB 2.0 ports for connecting peripherals like headphones or external storage devices.

Comparisons aside, Kindle Basic 2022 updates its specs with the current E Ink Carta 1200 technology. The screen is far better than the prior versions, with snappier reactions, clarity, and—most importantly—a 300ppi resolution (a huge improvement over the older 167ppi) that truly makes everything on the screen shine. It only really lacks a waterproof rating and more LED lights. But if you’re looking for an entry Kindle, this one is the best for you.
