The Best Kindles to Take Your Library Anywhere

We love Kindles here at WIRED. They’re simple, reliable, and perfect at what they do. If you’re looking for the best Kindle, you really can’t go wrong. These ebook readers can bring thousands of books anywhere and typically get a month of battery life per charge. You can subscribe to get unlimited books from Amazon or get free books from your local library (more on that below).
