It might have cost you a whole lot less than Those other Kindles, but this entry-level model is still running the same OS. It’s got double the RAM of the old one too, so it feels a lot nippier when turning pages or opening menus.
A recent UI overhaul Means you get a home screen filled with the books you’re reading, plus the ones on your wishlist. You can quickly jump into Airplane mode and force a Wi-Fi sync now too – although I’ve never had a problem with my Kindles staying bang up to date.
Best sellers and recommendations show up at the bottom of the home page, and the unless you shell out an extra tenner on the Kindle without ‘Special Offers’, these’ll show up as screensavers too. You can pay to get them switched off after you’ve bought them, so do not feel you have to splash the cash right away.
Amazon really has set the benchmark for e-readers with the Kindle. All your books live in the cloud, so you can delete them from your device if you run out of space and download them again any time. The price you pay? We are limited to buying books from Amazon. Still, given the massive selection and rock bottom prices, this is hardly a chore.
Oh, and it’ll still last for weeks between battery charges too.
