The Kindle Paperwhite features a 6.8-inch display with much thinner borders than previous models, and a glare-free display that reads like real paper, even in bright sunlight. Reading is so intuitive with the Paperwhite that we think it’s the best e-reader for avid bookworms, which you can read all about in our Kindle Paperwhite review. It even features adjustable warm light temperatures that make reading easier on the eyes based on the amount of light in the room, as well as water resistance that can withstand a drop in the bathtub or a splash at the beach. The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite allows you to take millions of book titles with you wherever you go, and lasts weeks on a single battery charge. It’s a great Kindle option for people who read a lot, or who just want a comfortable and convenient digital reading experience.
The Kindle Oasis is the most advanced Kindle ever, and features the same display as the Paperwhite model, which comes in at 7 inches and 300ppi, and is able to utilize the latest e-ink technology. It also has warm light temperature adjustment control, creating a richer reading experience in any light. The Kindle Oasis and Kindle Paperwhite share the ability to take millions of book titles with you wherever you go, and the Oasis model does it with a unique and ergonomic design that feels more natural, like holding a book. Full control over text size and boldness is part of the Oasis interface, as is the ability to customize your screen with a reimagined user interface. The new Library experience helps you find your favorite books with ease, and a new Home experience helps you discover new books by genre and category.
A virtual private network (VPN) encrypts your internet traffic and routes it through a server run by the VPN provider. Websites see the VPN server’s IP address instead of yours, and you can get around geo-blocks, censorship, and ISP throttling. The best VPN services are paid, but there are still a handful of free options that do the job well.
Most free VPNs come with a hidden cost, because running servers isn’t cheap and a company that doesn’t charge you has to make its money somewhere else. Many do so by logging your browsing activity and selling it to advertisers, while others flood you with ads and track you across apps.
There's nothing quite like curling up with a good book on a cold evening. As much as I love the feel of a physical book, books take up a lot of space, and carrying more than one on a trip quickly becomes a chore. That's where e-readers come in, and the Amazon Kindle remains one of the best options.
Amazon just refreshed its Kindle lineup with thinner, lighter designs, a new flush-front display, and colors that wrap from front to back. Add the Kindle Scribe and the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft to the mix, and you have more choices than ever before.
A good Android app should earn its place on your phone. It might make an everyday task easier, handle something the built-in software can't, or let you change an experience that never quite worked for you.
