By the looks of it, this is the 2016 model - Kindle 8th Gen (basic, with no led lights).

I currently own one and it is a nice device.

u/LanceFromPokemon · 12 pointsr/kindle

I'm sure most of us will tell you that any backlit LCD/LED style tablet is not going to be great for reading books. I'd recommend something with an e-ink screen. You can get an Amazon Kindle for as low as $80 .

u/o0oo0o_ · 12 pointsr/kindle

FWIW, the page for the current Paperwhite has had the same "now even better" text for quite a while.

https://www.amazon.com/b/?node=6669702011 and https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZV9PXP2

But it still may get the "8th Generation" treatment soon.

u/braximon · 9 pointsr/answers

It says you can on the page where you buy the thing.

>Carry and read personal documents
>Email documents—including Word, PDF, and more—directly to your Kindle and read them in Kindle format. You can also send documents to Kindle using Send to Kindle.

For someone who wants to buy a device that's designed for reading, you didn't do much reading.

u/Shyam09 · 6 pointsr/kindle

Nicest one is the Oasis hands down, but it's also the most expensive.

Then Voyage.

Then Paperwhite.

Then regular Kindle with no backlighting.

If you're looking to save some money, go Paperwhite; if you want to go all out, get the Oasis. Buy the Voyage is you want to spend some extra money. The resolution is all the same (except the base Kindle) - 300 PPI - but different devices have different features.
Amazon provides a small comparison table, so check it out (you'll need to scroll down -- https://www.amazon.com/All-New-Kindle-ereader-Glare-Free-Touchscreen/dp/B00ZV9PXP2). You know your wife the best, so will she prefer to touch the screen, press the bezels, or need actual buttons. Touch is available on all devices, but the more premium ones have the other options (pagepress for Voyage and actual buttons on the Oasis).

It's a bit hard to point you in a direction without knowing what your budget is / how much you can afford.

u/OddTheViking · 6 pointsr/preppers

Assuming it survives EMP, a kindle and/or an Android device can hold tens of thousands of books. If you have something that can read SD cards you could store a boat-load of movies, music, books etc, plus games. Add a USB solar charger and you should be good for a very long time. Even a regular e-ink Kindle can go for WEEKS of use without having to recharge. Have a USB charging battery bank and a pile of charged rechargeable batteries and you can get through a good long time before you need to get the solar panel out.

HAM and SW radio (again assuming you can protect it from EMP).

Cards, dice, board games, pen-and-paper RPGs. Notebooks & journals to write in. Paper and art supplies like colored pencils, pens, etc. You can cram a whole lot of fun activities into a box the size of a toaster.

Football, soccer ball, frisbees.

Archery, slingshots, blowguns (blowguns are a blast, something you can do in a pretty small area, and are dirt cheap)

Carving and whittling.

Knitting, crochet, sewing, needlework, macrame, paracord stuff

u/graduallywinning · 5 pointsr/BitcoinMarkets

You forgot the $79.99 for the Kindle https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Kindle-eReader-6-Inch-Touchscreen/dp/B00ZV9PXP2/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1501917837&sr=8-3&keywords=kindle

(After this recent runup I prefer to buy a new Kindle for each of my ebooks, makes it a bit easier to find the book I want to read)

u/xDarKraDx · 3 pointsr/LightNovels

Reading novels on the phone/tablet is really an eye-straining task, especially at night so of course you cannot binge it like manga. However, you could buy an e-reader that helps to reduce that like a Kindle or Kobo. And I don't think there is any trick or habit to read LNs, just read what you find interesting. You could start with some that have anime this season like Eromanga or Sword Oratoria.

And, just like /u/AshLucas said, you should always look for official translations as they usually are in much higher quality, so that you don't have to struggle to understand a paragraph.

u/DiDgr8 · 3 pointsr/ereader

The eye strain improvements of e-ink are due to the fact that the screen isn't "flickering" or "refreshing" itself 60 times per second like LCD screens. You're right to believe they are "easier on the eyes" (whether you need glasses or not).

Your requirements pretty much embrace every ereader out there (as opposed to LCD tablets). All the e-ink screens are pretty much dedicated readers.

  • Kindles,

  • Kobos,

  • Nooks, or

  • Onyx Booxes.

    All fit your bill. 6" is the most common size (there are bigger, but you pay disproportionately more).

    The only thing that narrows your field even somewhat is the ePub library. Kindles can read ePubs if you're willing to jump through some hoops (either by "jaibreaking" the unit or by converting files on your PC and then sending them to your unit) but they don't support them "out of the box".

    The "special features" aren't all fluff. Waterproof is nice if you use it by the pool (e-ink is especially suited for viewing outdoors), and some of the Kobos have native Overdrive support for checking books out of your local library for free.

    Finally, there are older "Pearl" screens and newer "Carta" displays when it comes to e-ink. The Carta and Carta2 screens are usually denoted as "HD" or list a dot pitch of more than 200 ppi.

    Screen resolution improvements in the Carta displays are a little "fluffy", but the newer models don't "ghost" after a page turn and "refresh" a little faster. But if you "settle" for a (cheaper) Pearl display, it's not the end of the world.

    Personally, I'd suggest the Onyx Boox C67ML Carta2, but you could get the cheapest Kindle if you can live without a frontlight and can put up with ads on the lockscreen. Both would "fill the bill".

If they don't have one then a kindle! They are only $50 right now: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZV9PXP2

u/Tejasvi88 · 2 pointsr/kindle

It may make difference if you read PDFs frequently. Else, for reflowable text with Bookerly, pixels are hardly noticeable. If you have not to read in low light often then there is little value for double the price.

Also check Reviews and search for terms like resolution, pixels, etc.

PS: I own one. Text rendering is better than half of the books in my College library.

u/xxmatentv123xx12 · 2 pointsr/kindle

the most basic kindle should work https://www.amazon.com/dp/product/B00ZV9PXP2/ref=s9_acss_cg_ea_odsbnc/ref=s9_acss_bw_cg_odseac_md1_w?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-2&pf_rd_r=2M3TYCQ70ZEBF8RP1VNQ&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=ef49f518-f543-4bc9-8eb0-db64ed6a091b&pf_rd_i=6669702011

this kindle isn't lit, no front lighting, but imo it makes the battery last longer and it just looks nicer. personally the least expensive one like the one I linked is just fine.

u/KnockMeYourLobes · 2 pointsr/AskWomen

I've had two NOOKS from Barnes and Noble, which I wouldn't recommend strictly because Barnes and Noble's customer service SUCKS. Also, if you purchase an E-book from Barnes and Noble, it isn't yours..they can and will snatch them right out of your library if they feel it's warranted. Also, their file type is proprietary and you can't download the file directly to your computer (or other device) to put onto another non-NOOK device like a tablet, etc. If you want to read your NOOK files on another device, you're forced to install their app, which I didn't really care for.

Right now I have a very basic Kindle E-reader that I really really like. I don't like that they display ads on the screen when it's in sleep mode, but other than that I think it's a great little e-reader and would highly recommend it.

u/bigbodylx · 2 pointsr/audible

No I am not. Kindle does indeed support audible.

I didn't knew amazon increased the price of the kindles so much. I personally woulnd't buy one at that price. Try to go to a local store that sells eletronic. You should be able to fine one for less than 50 .

Now for C Sharp yes it's possible. http://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/mac/how-learn-c-sharp-in-os-x-3640347/

Go with a Kindle. Not the tablet-like Fire, a traditional kindle like this one. The tablets are hard ont the eyes, but these ones aren't.

u/musicfan39 · 1 pointr/Entrepreneur

Here are some of the best deals I've found today, along with my own Cyber Monday deal!

  • Namecheap is offering new deals every hour. The best value IMO is their domains (.com/.net/.org/.co and more), which can all be found for under $1, but are usually gone within the first 15 minutes of each hour.

  • Amazon Kindle for $50

  • CardBuddy (my business!) is offering 30% off all products and free shipping to anywhere in the world with code CYBERSALE. The product is a thin wallet that sticks to the back of a phone or case. I started the business in college and I'm now running it full time after graduating last May.

This one has gone on sale for $49 several times in the last year. The last few times I've bought a new Kindle, I've picked up the PaperWhite for sale at $89.

u/Rhodin265 · 1 pointr/antiMLM

A Fire is a tablet. I mean a dedicated ebook reader.

u/DrCr4nK · 1 pointr/hardwareswap

The display is very good, and the battery is great. Not as thin as an ipad. Probably wouldn't use it as an e-reader, you won't get comparable battery life to something like a kindle. You could own a kindle for about as much, and it's great. What I read on. :D Surprise Amazon Kindle Link. In case you wanna compare.

u/Account_93 · 1 pointr/kindle

It's listed on the UK Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0186FESVC/

US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZV9PXP2/

The White version of the paperwhite is under the same listing as the black one.

Extra slowly, just for you:

> that the Kindle Paperwhite is not a Kindle

It's the official model name.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZV9PXP2/

"Kindle E-reader"

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OQVZDJM/

"Kindle Paperwhite E-reader"

> supports the assertion that the Kindle Paperwhite is backlit

Do you understand the difference between using reflected ambient light and an LED-lit device? Hint, it's the spectrum of the light your retina sees that matters.

Since apparently you have the memory of a goldfish, as well as a reading comprehension of an autist, look at OPs post. That's what we're discussing here.
