![]() The Scribe is much larger than the basic Kindle or Kindle Paperwhite, with a 10.2-inch screen at 300 ppi. The Amazon Kindle Scribe is the first Kindle to support note-taking with an included stylus. Kobo devices that have seamless OverDrive integration won’t see any changes borrowing ebooks via OverDrive will continue to function as normal beyond 2022. OverDrive will be phased out by the end of 2022, which means you’ll have to download the Libby app on your iOS or Android device to wirelessly deliver ebooks to your Kindle. All of the ebook readers we tested allow you to use the OverDrive or Libby apps to borrow free ebooks from your local library. Just a few examples include the capability to share purchased books with people on your Amazon Prime account X-Ray, which helps identify notable people and terms in your books the optional Kindle Unlimited service, which gives you on-demand access to a huge catalog of books for a flat rate every month and Amazon Kids+, which provides access to kid’s books, movies, TV shows, and more (a free, one-year subscription is included with the Kindle Paperwhite Kids). The huge collection of services that Amazon and its partners offer is a major reason why we love the Kindle Paperwhite Kids. While all readers allow you to side-load unprotected content, it’s important that they provide easy access to a large library of commercial books. Library: Ebook readers can’t stand on the strength of their hardware alone.Other features: While not required, features like waterproofing and Bluetooth audio can make a good e-reader great.In other words, most specs are less important than how good the ebook reader feels in the hand. Battery life and storage: Most of the readers promise battery life somewhere between six and eight weeks (depending on usage) and offer 8 GB or 32 GB of storage.Six-inch screens are the most common size, as well as the most portable and likely to be pocketable, although newer readers pack larger screens into similarly sized bodies, which is a bonus. Build quality and size: While most ebook readers are made of plastic, some feel better than others in your hands.Anything lower will mean less crisp text and images. Screen quality: We gave preference to devices with a pixel density of 300 dots per inch, the highest available in any ebook reader and what most models offer.(Unlike tablets such as the iPad, ebook readers use a side-lighting system that provides a glow across the screen, rather than from behind it.) Because this feature is so prevalent, we didn’t test any readers without it. Built-in lighting: Most e-readers provide their own light for reading in dark environments.If not, finding page numbers on a Kindle remains as easy as possible. Some readers might prefer seeing the traditional page number, but other options, such as the time left in a chapter or the time left in a book, are out there if you want to give them a chance. It's the same basic idea as a page number, and it can actually be more accurate for finding a specific page/location thanks to how much text size can vary from Kindle to Kindle. Since Kindles (and all e-readers) come with varying display sizes and customizable fonts and font sizes, location numbers use lines of text to help readers track where they are in a book.įor example, instead of seeing a book as having 350 pages, it may have 3,420 location numbers. ![]() This is basically the standardized way of tracking reading progress on Kindles. In these situations, it may be helpful to use the ' Location in book' option. Most Kindle books should support traditional page numbers, though users are likely to come across certain titles that don't. If under ' Print length' it shows the number of pages, that means users can see normal page numbers as if they were reading the physical book. Head to Amazon, search for a book, and select its Kindle version. Users can also confirm this before downloading or buying a Kindle book.
