The new Kindle comes in three flavors: a standard model with or without ads , a Signature Edition, and one designed for kids. All versions of the Kindle Paperwhite will launch on October 27th. We will see if the higher price is justified once we do our full review, but improvements like a bigger screen, USB-C charging, longer battery life, adjustable color temperature, and a speedier processor sound appealing on paper.

The pricier, step-up tier comes in the form of the new Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition. This model offers Qi wireless charging, a massive for e-books, mind you 32GB of storage, and a light sensor that automatically adjusts the display illumination in response to ambient lighting conditions, a feature once reserved for the Kindle Oasis. The premium Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition offers the same design and performance as the new base model, but with more storage, an automatic light sensor, and Qi wireless charging.

Lastly, Amazon is offering a new Kindle Paperwhite geared toward children. The apt-titled Kindle Paperwhite Kids is the same as the base model but comes with a one-year subscription to Amazon Kids Plus, giving your child access to a trove of kid-friendly books and audiobooks. The Kids model also comes with a two-year warranty and a kid-friendly cover, which is available in three different designs.

Unlike other ebook readers, they're not set up to buy books from elsewhere, so all Kindle users can only buy books from Amazon. Thankfully, Amazon still has the largest range of titles and are generally very well priced.

If you're an Amazon Prime member, then there's also the Prime Reading service , which provides access to a range of free ebooks, magazines, and short-form material. It's not just cheap, self-published stuff here, either — on the list of books are Man Booker Prize-shortlisted titles and premium magazines such as The Week.

Every Kindle supports Amazon's Family Library , which lets you share your ebooks with other members of your household. Essentially, this allows you to join two accounts together, so you can read each other's books, plus you can add up to four child accounts to the pair of adult accounts.

The cheapest Kindle has a 6in touchscreen, a 1GHz processor and 4GB of storage, which is ample space to store thousands of books. What's new is that the basic Kindle now has Bluetooth and the screen is backlit. Battery life is also very good at around two weeks per charge if you read for an hour a day.

If you own the Kindle and are tempted to upgrade to this one, you might want to save your money, since the differences are marginal. If, however, you're looking at taking your first tentative steps into digitising your library, then the basic Kindle is definitely the way to go for the budget-conscious bookworm.

In fact, it's probably the best Kindle yet, considering what it delivers for the price. Not only does this latest iteration — the fourth in the Paperwhite range — have double the storage capacity 8GB , but it's now fully waterproof like the Kindle Oasis.
