Book enthusiasts graduating this year might find the Kindle Paperwhite advantageous. Rated 8/10 by WIRED, it is highly recommended as a top Kindle choice. The latest version features a larger 7-inch display, improving from its previous 6.8 inches, and offers the highest contrast ratio on any Kindle, ensuring clear text and images. It boasts up to three months of battery life, one month more than its predecessor, and is the thinnest model available. Two versions are available: the standard version and the Signature Edition. The Signature Edition includes auto-adjust brightness, wireless charging, and 32 gigabytes of storage, double that of the standard version. While the standard model is generally sufficient, the Signature Edition is worth considering for those who frequently listen to audiobooks. Additional Kindle accessories, such as a clear case, stickers, or a cute sleeve, can be appealing additions.
For those who prefer taking notes, particularly while reading, the newer Kindle Scribe is an option to consider, also rated 8/10 by WIRED. Though more expensive, it functions as both an e-reader and a notepad, coming with a stylus. The Kobo Libra Colour, offering 8/10 in reviews, also supports note-taking and features an impressive color E Ink screen.
