With a light, sleek design, this kindle allows you to hold it comfortably with a single hand and is ideal for bringing everywhere. The adjustable front light is better for your eyes than traditional backlit screens, so you can read for hours on end in any lighting.

Prime members also get unlimited access to many magazines, books, and more.
Considerations
The all-new Kindle with built-in front light is an incredibly affordable Kindle that gets the job done. However, it may not be for everyone. While the 4GB storage allows for thousands of Kindle books, it definitely supports fewer audiobooks. Unlike the Kindle Paperwhite or Oasis, the all-new Kindle is not waterproof and has a significantly lower ppi (167 vs 300). It also lacks some of the bells and whistles of the other models like adjustable warm light and page turn buttons.
However, the 2019 all-new Kindle is a much more cost-friendly option that still performs well at its primary job. With the added front light capability, it has a much better display than the previous versions. It also comes with a convenient size and simple design. The simplicity of this kindle gives it a more book-like feel, and it still has acceptable storage and capabilities. With improved design and built-in front light, the 2019 all-new Kindle is a great choice for those who are looking for a convenient, affordable e-reader to take with them on the go.
