Amazon just made its cheapest Kindle even better. The basic $80 e-reader, aka the one that most people buy, now has double the RAM, a “more rounded” design, and Bluetooth audio. Oh, and it also now comes in white.
It’s a welcome update to a Kindle that’s been mostly overlooked in favor of its fancier cousins, the Kindle Paperwhite and the shiny new Oasis. Still, I have to say I’m a little disappointed there’s no change in the screen, which is easily the most important part of an e-reader.
Amazon is singlehandedly responsible for the shift from paper books to eReaders and after all these years, the company’s Kindle lineup is still the best in the business. You get the perfect mix of comfort, performance, affordability and portability with any Kindle eBook reader, and this week Amazon is offering a $20 discount on its three most popular Kindle SKUs.

Amazon’s upcoming Kindle Oasis looks like a pretty big step forward for the eBook reader market, but $290 is a tall order for people who only use their eReaders on occasion. Yes, hardcore book readers will appreciate the fact that the Kindle Oasis pays for itself in no time by offering a best-in-class reading experience, but other on the hunt for a new eBook reader might be looking for something a tad less costly.
Well, you’re in luck. Amazon’s three best Kindle models that are currently available are all on sale right now for a limited time, which means you can score a brand new Kindle for as little as $60. More →
Last time Amazon tried to build something revolutionary instead of evolutionary, the device failed spectacularly. Of course, we all had a sneaking suspicion the company’s Fire phone would flop long before it was ever released thanks to BGR’s exclusive reporting on the device ahead of announcement. This time around, Amazon will apparently try to inject some innovation into its Kindle line of eReaders, and a huge leak may have just given us our first look at the new Kindle’s radical redesign.

It can get pretty dizzying to watch how fast the tide turns in the consumer electronics industry. One day you’ve got the best new gadget in the world and the next, it’s outdated and no longer trendy. But somehow, some way, Amazon’s line of Kindle eReaders has managed to remain best-in-class after all this time. And while it’s certainly open to debate, we would argue that among them, the Kindle Paperwhite is the single best dedicated eBook Reader that the world has ever known.
Don’t believe us? See for yourself. The Kindle Paperwhite 6″ eReader with Built-in Light, Wi-Fi (Includes Special Offers) is now on sale for $99.99 shipped, which is $20 off the device’s typical price. More →

It might seem crazy, but books are still a great way to stay entertained and informed, and there are a whole bunch of digital Kindle books available on Amazon right now at a deep discount. More →
As he is wont to do, author George R.R. Martin is taking his sweet time writing The Winds of Winter, the next epic in his A Song of Ice and Fire saga that HBO has been adapting into its hit series A Game of Thrones. Via Paste Magazine, Martin on Thursday gave fans something to quench their thirst for new material by posting a new chapter from The Winds of Winter that revolves around Sansa Stark, the Stark daughter that fans of the series hated at the beginning and have slowly grown to pity as her fortunes have gone from bad to worse.

There are times when I’m amazed at how easy it is to sucker people into giving you their money. Whether it’s zany weight-loss schemes, get-rich-quick programs or penis-enlargement devices, I find myself stunned that any of these products can make enough money to stay in business. Nothing, however, can separate fools from their money quite as efficiently as religion. More →
