Which Is The Best Kindle To Buy In India – 10th Gen, PaperWhite, Oasis

If you are a voracious reader, the best gift you can buy for yourself is a Kindle. In this post, we will find out which is the best Kindle to buy in India.

Let me share my experience with Kindle in the last four years and how it has helped me read several books and improve my reading habit. I have tested it thoroughly and know the pros and cons in depth.

Also, Kindle has some advantages over the traditional hard-bound books worth knowing about.

What is Kindle?

Kindle is designed by Amazon and looks like a tablet. But it is made only to serve a single purpose – Reading Books. You can buy, download, and read e-books, newspapers, and magazines using the Amazon Kindle Store.

Usually, the Kindle Edition of Books is cheaper when compared to the regular hard-bound versions.

Why only Kindle? Why not use a tablet or mobile?

Answer – Kindle comes with a glare-free display with LED backlighting, unlike smartphones or tablets. This gives you a natural book-like feel when reading on Kindle Vs. a smartphone or a tablet.

Smartphones/Tablets or even the iPad are distracting due to notifications, calls, messages, WhatsApp, social media, etc., and don’t allow concentrated reading.

On the other hand, the Kindle makes your environment distraction-free.

Kindle Vs. Books – Which Is Better?

There is nothing like the smell of a new book. The in-hand feel of the paper is an unmatched experience for me. I love physical books and still buy a lot of them.

However, Kindle has the following advantages:

1. You can store 1000s of books on Kindle and carry them without worry.
2. If you live in an apartment, you don’t have to worry about the storage space for your books with Kindle.
3. You can read Kindle at night without any lights and may not disturb your partner.
4. The battery usually works for 2-3 weeks and is very convenient to carry.
