Alternative readers
If you want to read a digital book from Amazon's vast and inexpensive Kindle library, you don't have to own a Kindle device to do it. You can download them directly to your iPhone or iPad using Amazon's Kindle app. It's got everything you need to read digital books, and it's the most important thing you need to get ready for all those Kindle books.
Of course, when it comes to reading e-books, you don't strictly have to use your iPhone. These are our picks for digital devices that are also perfect for reading Kindle e-books.
Kindle Paperwhite($130 at Amazon)
The Kindle Paperwhite is the perfect device for reading e-books. You'll still need your iPhone because it's only an e-reader, but the crisp matte pages are easy on the eyes, and it works great outdoors.
Fire 7 Tablet($50 on Amazon)
If the iPhone is still a bit too small for you, and you'd like a tablet that's more than just an e-reader, the Amazon 7' Kindle Fire is an inexpensive option. It's about the size of your average book, but can be used for a lot more than just reading.
What books to buy?
If you're not sure what books to start with, navigate to the Amazon Charts to see the top 20 most sold & most read books of the week. Or, if you simply want to sample and read as many books as possible, check out Kindle Unlimited to download every book imaginable.
