Amazon Kindle 4 Pro Reviews

The $69 base version of the Amazon Kindle is even better than before, thanks to a price drop and a slightly improved display.

Not much has changed on the entry-level Kindle since the price drop. It's still got that amazingly sharp and easy-to-read screen, along with all the Amazon features we've come to love over the years. It's well-built and stylish while being one of the most affordable eBook readers on the market. We aren't keen on the way you're locked in, but the Amazon experience is one that is so enjoyable, and well thought-out, that we can't stop using it. As long as Amazon keeps its book prices competitive, we honestly don't mind the fact that we have to do things the way IT says. For book fans, or even just casual or occasional readers, the Kindle is the ideal buy. With Christmas coming, we think Amazon is going to sell more Kindles than ever. And why not, it's still the king of eBook readers.

If you want a touch screen, a self-illuminating screen, compatibility with multiple online bookstores, or easy text input, look beyond the entry-level Kindle to any of its many competitors, such as the Nook, Sony Reader, or Kobo. But if you're looking for a long-lasting e-ink reader that gives you access to the largest selection of online books and only sets you back $69, the Kindle is a slam-dunk.
