Amazon's most basic Kindle still squeaks in at under $100, with some compromises.

, which means that, at least for now, screen lighting temperature adjustments aren’t a feature you’re going to find on a sub-$100 e-reader. And while the new Kindle starts at $100, that’s for the lockscreen ad-supported option, if you don’t want ads, the price is $120 instead. Both options are $10 pricier than their predecessors

, but for a limited time, Amazon is throwing in a four-month subscription to Kindle Unlimited—which is twice as long as the usual trial period.Alongside the updated Kindle, Amazon is also releasing a new version of the Kindle Kids, which brings with it all of the same hardware upgrades, including USB-C charging, better battery life, extra storage space, and a 300 ppi E Ink screen.

Unlike the standard Kindle, the Kindle Kids also gives parents access to a dashboard where they can set up reading schedules and limit access to content past bedtimes, plus allow kids to request content such as new ebooks without them being able to outright buy it themselves: a welcome limitation in a time of rampant micro-transactions.The Kindle Kids e-reader is only available in a single $120 version without any lock screen ads.
