All-New Amazon Kindle (2022) Review | Best eReader on a Budget!

Reviewing Amazon's All-New Kindle 2022, the budget-friendly eReader costing under £100 in the UK. This 6-inch model is more compact vs the Paperwhite and Oasis, and the best option if you want a highly portable reader. But the All-New Kindle 2022 is also missing many of the frills of those more expensive models.

Amazon has still packed in most of the regular tools, including dictionary shenanigans, front-lighting and a dark mode. You'll have to manually tweak the Kindle 2022's brightness, but that's a small price to pay for that lower cost. Just remember to spaff out an extra tenner if you don't want ads on yours.

The Amazon Kindle 2022 is smaller than the Paperwhite and Oasis and yet still boasts decent battery life. I got almost 20 hours of reading time, with the lighting constantly active. When it's time to recharge, this all-new eReader can be powered up via Type-C USB.

So the Kindle 2022 is certainly one of the best budget options if you want a reader to take on the road. Check out my coverage of the other Amazon options, Paperwhite and Oasis, if you want to see how they stack up.

6 inches is plenty, in fact it's huge. The bigger ones are just hard to handle, not fun. 6 is perfect, it probably has a great personality too.

I bought just for the size, I’m sure people don’t come around and watch this anymore but I love the small form factor/size of old paperwhites it’s perfect for taking every where!

Came for the review, stayed for the clever blend of humor and tech detail! Nice work Chris!

There ads on the roads, there are ads in your hotel room, there are ads on the beach, there are ads in the elevator, there are ads on your personal phone UI, there ads on social media, there ads in your dreams, now there are ads on Kindle too. I foresee a day when publishers will find a way to put ads in paper books as well.

This is perfect. I have one from 2007 and I am so glad to see that this one is pretty close. I love my 2007 but they won’t download to it anymore 😢. Great and perfect review!

I wondered if you'd mention your own books, and so glad you did. I've been loving reading them.

Thank you very much for this review. I bought a paperwhite kindle in 2017 and the 2022 basic kindle looks exactly like it. The only differences seem to be charging time (I swear I could spend months and months without charging my kindle the first 5 years) and the raised edges are a bit larger on the sides and at the top, and smaller at the bottom. And the micro usb of course. My kindle really is my prized possession.

I bought a paperwhite in 2018 and is time to replace it. This model is perfect for my needs with better screen and same size with the old one. Thanks for review!

[hedleytoni]

So funny! Buying this now! Thanks for the review

To all Amazon Kindle Lovers. Happy New Year 2023. Am buying this kindle.

If 'enjoyment of use', was what matters to me the most at the moment, when picking an ideal e-book reader, I'd blindly pick what you adviced me to pick... just an opinion of a stoned man seing your channel for the first time. You're doing your s#!t perfect sir! Peace!
