So the Onyx Boox Nova Air C is a much more capable device even though it sports an E Ink screen, but it also comes in at a much higher price, whereas the All-new Kindle is only $100, and the Onyx Boox Nova Air C is $420. Q: How does the All-new Kindle compare to the Onyx Boox Nova Air C?įirst and foremost, the All-new Kindle is a black-and-white device with no color, whereas the Onyx Boox Nova Air C offers a bleeding-edge color E INk screen, and it even runs Android, which means it runs all of your apps. So if you're patient, you can actually snag a Paperwhite for the same price as the All-new Kindle, and in this case, the Paperwhite is still the stronger device. The good news is that the Kindle Paperwhite has already seen a comparable sale, so more should be coming sooner rather than later. The All-new Kindle is the budget option compared to the excellent mid-range Kindle Paperwhite, but since the All-new Kindle is the most recently updated device in the E Ink Kindle line, it actually offers more than a few comparable features to the Paperwhite, which means the All-new Kindle is the cheaper option unless you can grab the Paperwhite on sale for a similar price. FAQ Q: How does the All-new Kindle compare to Kindle Paperwhite? This has already resulted in a few sales on the Paperwhite, so if you can find one for a comparable $100, go for that, but if you're impatient, the better buy is the All-new Kindle. You even get 16GB storage with the All-new Kindle, and you have to pay extra for that with the Paperwhite.Īll around, Amazon has basically priced the Paperwhite out of the market with the All-new Kindle, making the All-new Kindle one of the best e-readers on the market. Sure, the All-new Kindle might not look as flashy as the Paperwhite and its flush screen, but actually, you get better readability with the All-new Kindle thanks to one less layer between you and the screen. Regarding text contrast, the All-new Kindle's recessed screen offers a little more than the current Paperwhite or Oasis. Since the Voyage, many Kindle screens have looked washed out with dim text thanks to this flush layer. To get screens flush, like with the Paperwhite, there's an extra layer of material between you and the actual E Ink screen, which affects contrast. But I'd like to make an argument for this type of screen. The recessed screen the base Kindle is known for is still here, which can collect dust easily in the corners if you don't keep the Kindle in a case with a cover. It's even more pocketable and easier to carry around. So as a lover of all tiny electronics, I dig the new size of the All-new Kindle. It's not as wide while sporting a similar 6-inch screen, and the power button has moved closer to the charging port, making it easier to find. Both models look identical, but once you get your hands on the All-new Kindle, it's immediately apparent that it's smaller. Not a lot has changed with the All-new Kindle compared to the 2019 base Kindle as far as the general design language goes. Call me a skeptic, but I'm unimpressed with this public display of virtue from companies that pump out e-waste daily. Instead, it's all we hear about anymore with every announcement. Sure, the All-new Kindle is built with plenty of recycled materials, which is commendable, but I can't help but feel this green agenda is more for appearances and brownie points than anything else.ĭo you know what would be super green? Not bragging about doing green things and just doing them because they should be done. While Amazon has been at the forefront of sustainable packaging for some time, it's hard not to feel like all this sustainable talk in recent years is used as a shield for gigantic corporations pumping out e-waste. Of course, if you don't have extra bricks, you will have to buy one, which is an added cost and inconvenience.

Seeing that I have hundreds of charging bricks, not getting one in the box isn't a big deal. Not only does the Kindle ship in a recyclable box, but it's fairly small, so it doesn't actually contain much beyond the All-new Kindle and USB-C charging cord. Amazon is pushing hard on sustainability this year.
