Which e-readers I’d recommend buying in Amazon’s spring sale

It’s the older Kindle Scribe, but the price and features are the best you’ll find, especially when it’s on sale. I am still looking for this model even though I have the newer third generationand keep in mind that the second generation will also get some of the newer software and experiences over time. On sale, it’s half the price of the newer model.

If you’re already a Kindle reader and want to upgrade, it’s probably because you want a new feature like a color screen. While the Kobo above is the best buy, both the Colorsoft and Colorsoft Signature are on sale if you want to stay in the Kindle ecosystem but add some color to your books.

If you want to spend as little as possible, the basic Kindle (11th generation) is still a great e-reader and is currently under $100. It can do almost everything the other Kindles can (except the scribe) on a crisp black-and-white screen. It also lacks a hot front light, but it’s still a good buy for the price.
