Kindle eBook readers

Kindle eReaders bring your entire library to life in a lightweight, easy-to-carry device. They’re made for readers who crave books on the go, with features that make every page easy on the eyes.

With e-ink technology, you get a crisp, paper-like reading experience. Reduced blue light means less fatigue, allowing you to enjoy your favourite books for hours on end.

With adjustable text size and brightness, plus a battery that lasts for weeks, Kindle eReaders lets you enjoy reading your way. Check out JB’s range and find the one that fits your reading style!

JB’s got the latest Kindle eReaders, and they’re loaded with everything book lovers need. Choose from:

• Kindle Paperwhite 12th Gen: Thanks to its 25% higher contrast, this eReader’s 7-inch display is clearer than ever. You can adjust the warm light for day or night, and it’s waterproof, too. Battery life lasts up to 12 weeks, and page turns are 20% faster for a smoother read.

Upgrading your reading experience starts with picking a Kindle that ticks the right boxes. Here's a breakdown of the must-have features to look for:

• Screen: Opt for glare-free e-ink screens that offer a paper-like reading experience. Larger screens and high resolution (PPI) provide the best visuals.
• Lighting: Front lights and adjustable warm light ensure comfortable reading in any environment. Auto-adjusting backlights add convenience.
• Battery: Choose a Kindle with long battery life so you can read for weeks without charging.
• Durability: With select models offering water resistance (IPX8), you don’t have to worry about accidental splashes or a rainy day ruining your reading time.
• Navigation: Touchscreens are intuitive, while page-turn buttons offer a classic feel.
• Extras: Connectivity options (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth), wireless charging, stylus support for note-taking, USB-C ports, and be sure to compare overall specs.

Kindle eReaders primarily support Amazon's proprietary file formats like AZW and AZW3. However, they can also handle several other common eBook formats, including:

• MOBI: An older eBook format popular on Kindle devices
• TXT: Basic text files
• PDF: Portable Document Format for fixed-layout documents
• Some Image Formats: Like JPEG and PNG

If you have eBooks in the EPUB format (widely used by libraries and other retailers), you can still enjoy them on your Kindle. Free programs like Calibre can help you convert EPUB files to a Kindle-compatible format.
