Kindle
Price: From £69.99 | Buy now from Amazon
This Kindle model is the most basic of the range and at the same time the cheapest. Like its big brothers, it has a touch screen, an integrated light to read in the dark and its battery lasts several weeks using it half an hour on average per day and with an intermediate brightness. The screen resolution is the lowest of the four models, 167 ppi. This resolution, almost half of the others, is especially noticeable when viewing images.
It has 4 GB of internal capacity, the smallest of the four models and only Wifi connectivity. Thanks to its size it’s possible to hold it with one hand comfortably. Regarding its functionality, it is very similar in the four models, highlighting the free Cloud storage for Amazon content, a wide range of compatible formats and adjustment of letter size. However, it is noted that the performance of this model it’s less than the other two, for example when turning pages. It is available in two colors, black or white and it weighs 174 grams.

BEST KINDLE COMPARISON CHART
Which of the kindles supports best reading in sunlight and because I have a library borrow box app also. IS there a kindle available that supports the app download as well as my e.reader book purchases from Amazon? Thanks
If l buy a new Kindle would the books l have bought ( and still to read) be transferred to the new one

I have had a paperwhite kindle for approx. 8 years.
I use it daily and would recommend it.
The one thing that I have difficulty with is recharging it.
I find that the connection is not good and consequently it can take at least five or six efforts before I am able to connect it.
If the designers were able to make the attachment magnetic – like the old MacBook Air, it would improve its quality immensely.
