Find the Cheapest Kindle

With so many Kindles offered, it's no surprise if you're asking "what's the cheapest Kindle?" Amazon currently offers several models, ranging from a simple e-reader to a full-color smart reader. Some Kindles even give you the choice between having ads displayed or not. It can be difficult to determine what the cheapest one is--and more importantly--what the cheapest one is for you.

With so many options, how do you choose? If you're looking for the cheapest Kindle (like I was), the choice is easy. I've given several of these as gifts (and gave it many times this past Christmas), so read on to learn what I choose as the best low-cost Kindle, hands-down.

Why was this important to me?

When I was searching for a Kindle, I was immediately overwhelmed at all the choices -- touchscreen or not? Color or not? Someone a relatively new invention had so much to choose from!

For me, I knew I wanted in inexpensive model that was primarily for reading. I use other options for web-surfing, email, etc. I strictly wanted to be able to read (I live in FL, too, so being able to read in direct sunlight was important to me) and not have it cost me an arm and a leg.

Read on for a sneak peek into my decision-making process!

This cheap option is your classic Kindle. This device doesn't display ads, so you'll be getting a traditional reading experience--no bells and whistles necessary.The difference between the $89 version and the $69 version is just that: no ads on this cheap Kindle. If you're looking for as close a experience to reading an actual book, this option is for you.

...and what I picked!

The only difference between these two Kindle Paperwhite with Ads--I love the ease of tapping to turn the pages which allows me to use either hand. This was important for me because I read in several different body positions. If I'm laying in bed, reclining on the beach or sitting on a plane, my hands shift. The tap feature doesn't require me to adjust my hands to read.
