The best Kindles
Amazon's eReaders are best-in-class, and offer a legitimate opportunity for distraction-free reading. We may earn revenue from the products available on this page and participate in affiliate programs. The right Kindle will reignite your love of reading. Using a Kindle may seem unnecessary in a world where reading books, articles, and any other text on a phone or tablet is easy. Carrying around a dedicated mono-tasking device will add weight to your load, and it's another gadget to keep track of and charge. Yet Kindles remain popular because they only have one job and do it very well: let you carry and consume the stories that captivate you. A Kindle's e-ink screen won't reflect the sun when reading outdoors, unlike the reflective LCD displays used on phones and tablets.

Alexa and Kindle Scribe Now Work Together With 'Send to Alexa'
The new "Send to Alexa" feature lets you send Kindle Scribe notebooks to your Echo device with just a couple of taps. Alexa+ has been rolling out to users across the board (well, users with Prime, that is) as its Early Access becomes more widely available. Now, there's a new feature to explore if you're also a Kindle Scribe user: Send to Alexa. This lets you send your Kindle Scribe notes to the AI-powered assistant so you can ask questions about them without having to refer back to your Kindle. It won't automatically do this with all your notes.

Amazon Kindle Scribe (2nd Gen) Review: Room for More
Amazon's Kindle Scribe entered a saturated digital notebook market in 2022, competing with the likes of Kobo, ReMarkable, and Boox. But the first-gen Scribe had one leg over everyone else: It was also a Kindle. You couldn't annotate directly on ebooks, a standard feature most people would expect on a digital e-paper notebook. This has been rectified on the second-generation Kindle Scribe, and there are a couple of other additions like generative artificial intelligence features and a slightly redesigned Premium Pen stylus, which is now included. But the rest of the Scribe remains mostly the same. It's a great digital notebook for anyone who likes jotting stuff down on paper, and since it pulls double duty as an e-reader, you don't have to carry another Kindle.
