Thinking of buying a Kindle? It's a good shout — they're some of the best e-readers around. I'm on my third, and I use it almost every day. And now's a good time to be planning your purchase, because we're currently in the middle of an Amazon Prime Day event, and because Kindle is an Amazon brand, almost the entire range is discounted in both the US and the UK.
Figuring out which Kindle will best suit your needs can be tricky. Below, I've rounded up all your options, and if you scroll down the page you'll see a table comparing the key specs for each one. I'd start by deciding if you need a color screen, in which case you'll want to look at the models with Colorsoft in their name (as opposed to the basic Kindle and the Paperwhite models, which are black-and-white only). This function is essential if you want to use your Kindle to read graphic novels, but might also be helpful for students, as it'll allow you to highlight text in different colors.
