Amazon's e-reader line is famous for two things: convenient, distraction-free reading and seemingly everlasting battery life. Because of their famous power-efficiency, Kindles really only need to be charged via USB-C once every few weeks (or months, depending on your model). It makes them the perfect low-maintenance travel companions.

Christmas is just two weeks away, and if you're looking for last-minute gift ideas, giving the gift of reading -- to yourself or someone else -- might be the perfect choice. Conveniently, Amazon has slashed the prices on its lineup of Kindle e-readers just in time for the holidays, and you can score some huge savings.

The middle of December looms right around the corner, which means peak gift-giving season is practically upon us. After that, it'll be time to ring in 2026. If reading more books is one of your (or a loved one's) New Year's resolutions, I can't recommend a device more than a Kindle.

If getting through the workday was a boulder on a hill, just call me Sisyphus. Luckily, my desk is in front of a lovely window and not in the depths of the Underworld, but still -- getting through the nine-to-five (and then some, if you're a freelancer like me) can get repetitively monotonous if you don't find a way to break up the day.

It's a big moment for the Kindle Scribe lineup. Amazon is wrapping up 2025 with three new Scribes: the third-gen Kindle Scribe and the first ever Kindle Scribe Colorsoft, with a more affordable third-gen Scribe without a front light shipping in early 2026. It's never been more exciting to tote around a digital notebook, and I'm prepared to walk into the New Year without any of my paper notebooks.

I like Amazon's lineup of Kindle e-readers, but one thing that frustrates me, and many others as well, is how locked down its software experience is compared to other e-readers on the market, like Kobo.

I've owned a Kindle e-reader since 2009. The E Ink display is timelessly familiar and has allowed me to take hundreds of books on planes, trains, and automobiles -- plus keep reading once I arrive at my destination. Well over a decade later, Amazon introduced the very first Kindle Scribe, which sought to replace the stack of notebooks sitting on the corner of my desk. To my surprise, it’s done exactly that.

The holiday season arrives with warmth, cheer, and lots of family time -- which means spending way too much time in your childhood bedroom sifting through boxes of trinkets and other long-forgotten bits of memory. Over Thanksgiving, I stumbled upon what felt like buried retro-tech treasure: the second-generation Kindle.

Amazon has released several notable Kindle updates this year. In June, it added new spacing options for characters, words, and paragraphs, and in August, it introduced the Assistive Reader feature, which turns books into audiobooks, along with a larger font option to improve readability. Although the year is coming to an end, Amazon isn't done making changes to its Kindle software for 2025.

Back in September, Amazon announced new Kindle Scribe models coming sometime before the end of the year: the third-generation Scribe and the very first Kindle Scribe Colorsoft. On Thursday, the e-reader authority (among many other things) finally revealed their December 10 launch date.
