What do critics say about the Amazon Kindle (2024)?
TechRadar80
The reviewer finds the 2024 Kindle a snappier but barely changed entry-level e-reader, a fine option yet poor value next to rivals given the price increase.
Digital Trends80
A great basic e-reader in a fun Matcha color, with a brighter screen, faster page turns and long battery life.
Tom's Guide70
Essentially the same device as the 2022 model with a bit more brightness yet a higher price.
