Amazon Kindle 2011

Originally reviewed by 12 October 2011

It's safe to say the Kindle is to readers what the iPad is to tablets. While it has its detractors, it's the one everyone compares the competition to. It's not categorically better in every respect than the Kindle 3, it's different in a rather brilliant way. It's more portable and the new intermittent screen refresh eradicates the sluggish page turning of other ereaders. The screen quality has been given a slight upgrade too, darker text offering better contrast. It misses out on a handful of periphery features, like MP3 playback, but as a device to simply read books and newspapers on, it can't be beaten for under £100 and easily makes our list of best ebook readers.
