The Verdict.

9.0/ 10

Gavler Meta-Score

“The basic Kindle is honest: it's a book reader, nothing more, nothing less. If you're considering e-readers but not committed, this is the risk-free entry point. If you find yourself reading regularly, upgrade to the Paperwhite. But the basic Kindle proves you can get 95% of the e-reading experience for 60% of the Paperwhite's price. Start here if you're unsure. Upgrade if you love it.”
