Which Kindle Is Right for Me?

With so many eReaders to choose from, you might be asking yourself the question, Which Kindle Is Right for Me? It may be difficult to determine which one will best suite your needs and lifestyle. So we here at Pixelscroll have come up with this side-by-side comparison to help take the guesswork out of your decision!
There are two categories of Kindles, both of which will be compared in this article:

Kindle eReader Family

The Kindle eReader Family are smaller in size, weigh less, and have a unique glare-free screen that is perfect for reading outdoors or in brightly lit areas. Some of the newer models also have a special built-in “glow” that allows you to transition to night-time reading without having to purchase a separate reading light. Separate reading lights often cause a glare or focus too much light in a single spot, which makes reading difficult. The Kindle eReaders are great for folks on the go. They fit nicely into a purse or other carrying case and are very lightweight, making taking them anywhere a breeze!

Kindle Fire Family

The Kindle Fire Family has grown, too! With prices ranging from as little as $159 for the base model up to the blinged-out macdaddy model at $599, the Kindle Fire delivers the most media bang for the buck. If checking email, or connecting with friends on Facebook and other social media sites is important to you, or you simply want your MP3 collection, extensive Kindle book library and all your favorite movies with you at all times, then one of the Kindle Fires is right up your alley!
