The eBook Reader with the Darkest, Boldest Fonts is…

February 24, 2013 by Nathan Groezinger

The latest $69 basic Kindle. Surprising, eh? The cheapest ebook reader on the market is the one with the darkest and boldest fonts. It’s not even a close contest, either. It wins hands-down.

$69 Kindle

Overview Amazon’s $69 Kindle is the latest basic model and replaces the Kindle 4 from last year. I’m inclined to call it the Kindle 5, but some people refer to the Kindle Touch as the Kindle 5, so to make things less confusing I’m just going to call it the $69 Kindle from here on […]
