You probably know that reading is better for your brain than social media. Healthline reports that reading can even prevent age-related cognitive decline. But most of us spend more time scrolling on our phones than reading.
It’s estimated that we spend an average of 118 hours a month with our smartphones on social media. In that time, you could have read a handful of novels. If you want to pick up a book but don’t know where you start, tap or click for a site that helps you find your next favorite read.
One of the best ways to read is through an e-reader like Amazon’s popular Kindle devices. They’re a great alternative to traditional book reading since they’re versatile, easier to hold and cause less strain on the eyes. Now is the best time to buy since Amazon just announced two new Kindle e-readers.
Three new models are refreshing Amazon’s e-reader line:
They all have larger displays than previous models. Older versions were 6-inches, while these have 6.8-inch screens. They also have longer battery lives as well as built-in IPX8 water resistance.

You can even adjust the shade of your e-reader’s display. So if you’re sick of the white light, you can give your words an amber glow. You can even schedule when the light changes.
If you want to give your eyes a break, you can adjust the size and boldness of your text. The Kindle Paperwhite comes with 8GB of storage. If you want an e-reader that packs a bigger punch, you probably want the Paperwhite Signature Edition, which has 32GB.

The page-turning animations on these gadgets are 20% quicker than previous models. You’ll get the same pixel density on the screens at 300 PPI. In addition to adjustable color temperatures, which range from amber to cool white, the displays are 10% brighter.
If your e-reader dies after two days, or if you want to finally grab one, good news: The Kindle Scribe bundle is at the lowest price it’s ever been. You get a 16GB Kindle, leather cover, pen and power adapter for under $275 (normally $439.97!).

📚 Keep reading without your Kindle: You can install the Kindle app on your phone (iOS or Android), and it’ll sync your progress automatically. Perfect for finishing that book when your e-reader isn’t around. Don’t have one? The newest Paperwhite model has weeks of battery life.
