However, the front light cannot be adjusted for temperature, meaning you're stuck with white/blue light at all times, so people sensitive to blue light may find the Kindle (2022) less appealing for bedtime reading. The screen has an adjustable front light for reading in the dark, and the Dark Mode option makes it more comfortable to read in low-light conditions. As an e-ink screen, it feels comfortable to read on, though we ended up making the text smaller to fit more of a page onto the 6-inch screen. It’s now got a 300ppi (pixels per inch) high resolution screen that is crisp and sharp on the 6-inch display. The screen itself has had a lot of attention lavished on it. The new blue color is a nice change from the standard black or white designs of other ereaders and, thanks to an update that happened in April 2021, you can set the cover of book you're currently reading to display on the sleep screen instead of cycling through a few wallpapers that were available on Kindles by default. The USB-C is a new addition, and means you can quickly charge the Kindle (2022) – and you can use any USB charger to do so. Most of the controls for the Kindle are done via the 6-inch E Ink Carta 1200 touchscreen. The design is minimalist, with a single power button and a USB-C port for charging. Quite the opposite, in fact, as despite its budget price, the Kindle (2022) feels like a well-put-together device. That’s not to say the build quality is lacking, however. There are Kindle cases on sale that can mitigate this, but without one, the Kindle (2022) can feel a little too slight for some people. It doesn’t feel as secure to hold as some of the larger, and more expensive, ebook readers out there, and the lack of a textured rear panel can make it feel a little hard to grip onto. However, some people may not enjoy holding and reading on such a small device. For short-haul flights where you’re limited to the amount of luggage you can bring on board, this could again be a great feature, as it takes up less space than even a rather slim book. The Kindle (2022) can easily slip into a bag, or even a pocket, and you’d hardly notice it’s there. This makes it an excellent choice for travellers who want to take something to read while they globetrot. It’s now smaller and lighter than ever before, and weighs just 158g, with measurements of 6.2-inches x 4.3-inches x 0.32-inches (157.8 x 108.6 x 8.0 mm). The Kindle (2022) comes with a new design, and some changes are very welcome… and some less so. (Image credit: TechRadar) Kindle (2022) review: Design and display If you’re a regular user of Amazon's different services, though, then the Kindle’s integration with the huge retailer will likely appeal. It remains more affordable than its chief competitor, the Kobo Clara 2E, although the rival offers a few more features that the 2022 Kindle misses out on. While this makes the Kindle (2022) the cheapest current model, it does represent a price increase over the previous model, which sold for £69.99 / $89.99 / AU$139. The new Kindle (2022) is Amazon’s most affordable ereader, and costs $99.99 / £84.99 for the model with adverts on the lockscreen – there's no ad-supported version of the Kindle in Australia.
