Apple's AI-enhanced Siri is probably coming in the spring of 2026, a new report claims.
This is according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who claims that this is an "internal release target" within Apple for the "delayed upgrade" of Siri.
In terms of iOS releases, Apple is targeting the iOS 26.4 software update to bring this new Siri into the world. For reference, Apple released the first iOS 26 beta to developers earlier this week, following a launch during Apple’s 2025 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) keynote.
SEE ALSO: iOS 26 adds 'Emoji Game' for Apple News+ subscribersAnd while the iOS 26 release did come with a number of new Apple Intelligence features, Siri was mostly left the same as before.
Some of the features that are coming were announced more than a year ago, at Apple's WWDC 2024, which took place last June. This includes Siri being aware of what's happening on your iPhone's screen and providing personalized answers. Officially, this is coming with a future software update; according to Apple's senior vice president of software engineering Craig Federighi, that software update will be ready sometime next year.
In an interview at this year's WWDC, Federighi said that the problems arose when the company tried to consolidate two different Siri architectures, one dependable but without the new features, and the other far more advanced but ultimately not stable enough for a wide release yet.
According to Bloomberg's report, if all goes well, Apple might preview some of the new features when it launches the new iPhone this fall, but the timeline could shift and nothing is set in stone just yet.

Taylor Tomlinson's After Midnight, the late night comedy show that took over James Corden's old slot in 2023, has come to an end.
In the clip above Tomlinson, who is leaving to continue her standup career, expresses her gratitude for the opportunity, thanks her team, and expresses some regret that After Midnight won't continue after she's gone.
"As you can imagine it's a very emotional night," she says. "It's gonna be an amazing show, but you know, there's a lot happening internally for me, at least. I'm so grateful that I got a chance to do this. I am. I never thought that I would be able to host a late night show. This was never something that was on my vision board at all because I just didn't think that it was possible for me. I'm a touring standup and I feel very grateful to have that career, I really do, and this opportunity came along at a time in my life when I could take advantage of it, and while unfortunately I couldn't keep doing the show – it just wasn't sustainable for me – I can't believe that I got to do it as long as I did.
"It was my dream that I would finish off this season and get to hand it off to a new host. I really wanted CBS to replace me because I just think there are so many amazing comedians who would have done a great job with this show. And the reason I feel that way is, honestly I can't really express, how special this team of people is that I got to work with on this show."
After Midnight's time slot will now be replaced with episodes of Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen, per Deadline.
Tesla's updated Model S and Model X are here, but you have to look very closely to see the differences.
Tesla's own list of highlights for the new Model S and X starts with a new color option, Frost Blue, which tells you that this is just a retouch of the company's premium models.
Other highlights include:
quieter cabins, with less wind and road noise and more effective Active Noise Cancellation
new wheel designs with improved aerodynamics
improved front fascia camera with better visibility
dynamic ambient lighting, with "unique animations along the dash & doors upon entry"
improved suspension design for a smoother ride
adaptive driving beams
That's for both the Model S and the Model X, but there are a couple of specific improvements for each model, respectively.
The 21-inch Velarium wheels are a $4,500 option. Credit: TeslaFor the Model S:
The Model S Long Range now has up to 410 miles of range, making it the longest-range Tesla in the company's lineup
Model S Plaid has new exterior styling, which the company says is optimized for high-speed stability
For the Model X:
there's now more space for 3rd row occupants and for cargo
In terms of exterior styling, the cars are very similar to what they were before; the Frost Blue color, which is a $2,500 option for both the Model S and Model X, as well as new wheels, will make the biggest difference.
The wheel options now include the 20-inch Perihelix and the 22-inch Machina wheels for the Model X, and the 19-inch Magnetite, and the 21-inch Velarium wheels for the Model S.
The headlights are now adaptive. The new, 22-inch Machina are an optional, $5,500 upgrade. Credit: TeslaInside, the new, customizable ambient lighting is the thing that'll make the biggest difference, though that's merely catching up to the new Model 3 and Model Y, which got the ambient lighting as part of their most recent upgrade.
Woohoo, ambient lighting is here! Credit: TeslaAs for the Model X's improved third-row space, that could be a big deal for people who often haul more than five passengers, but Tesla didn't share any details and it's hard to judge the differences based on official photos alone.
SEE ALSO: Tesla’s Optimus humanoid robot program loses its headPotential customers won't like the fact that both the Model S and Model X now cost $5,000 more than before. The starting price for the Model S is now $84,990, while the Model X now starts at $89,990. That's for the All-Wheel Drive variants; if you want the Plaid versions, they start at $99,990, and $104,990, respectively.

Summer's here, and to celebrate, we're diving into shark-infested horror!
This week on Say More, Mashable Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko and Senior Creative Producer Mark Stetson welcomed Jai Courtney to the couch to talk Dangerous Animals.
The Australian actor has flexed his leading-man muscle in a series of blockbuster franchise action movies, from A Good Day to Die Hard to Divergent. But in Dangerous Animals, he takes a bite of a juicy character actor role, playing the villainous Tucker, a boat captain who takes on shark-cage dives, and sometimes feeds those tourists to the sharks for his own pleasure.
SEE ALSO: 'Dangerous Animals' review: Jai Courtney goes sublimely savage as a shark-centric serial killerAussie horror auteur Sean Byrne directs Dangerous Animals, making this freaky film a follow-up to such critically heralded offerings as the grisly The Loved Ones and the deliciously demonic The Devil's Candy.
On the Say More couch, Puchko and Courtney dug into what appealed to him about playing Tucker, how the role marks a shift in his career that began with Captain Boomerang in Suicide Squad, and how he made movie magic with an intense dance number in Dangerous Animals.
The captivating performer also muses on the path of his career, challenging the idea that such a thing is something an actor can really plan. Take a listen, and then plunge into the twisted pleasures of Dangerous Animals, which is now playing in theaters.

Updated on Thursday, June 13 at 5 a.m. ET — We have good news and bad news. The good news? Walmart has the Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle in stock. The bad news? It looks like the consoles are being sold by third-party sellers — and with jacked-up prices. The bundle normally retails at Walmart for $499, but it's currently listed for sale from seller "GAMES FOR US" for $749.
Here at Mashable, we do not recommend feeding trolls or price gougers, but Switch 2 restocks have been so rare, we wanted to provide this update. Unfortunately, it looks like price gougers have officially come for the Switch 2, and not just on eBay.
Opens in a new window Credit: Nintendo Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle $749 at WalmartThe Nintendo Switch 2 launch day has come and gone, and those lucky enough to get a console are already happily playing Mario Kart World and other launch titles.
Starting on June 5, gamers could finally purchase the Switch 2 console for $449.99 and the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle for $499.99 — if you could find it in stock. Costco had inventory available on June 5, and Target started selling its inventory online on June 6, but as of this writing, it's unavailable at all retailers. GameStop and Staples at least have tools that let you check available stock at nearby stores.
Opens in a new window Credit: Nintendo Buy the Switch 2 console at Target $449.99So, where can you buy the Switch 2 online? Check for Switch 2 stock at the My Nintendo Store and official Nintendo retailers and smash that refresh button like it's your first time playing Super Smash Bros.
Buy the Switch 2 at Walmart — Third-party sellers
Buy the Switch 2 at GameStop — Check stock in stores
Buy the Switch 2 at Best Buy — Check stock in stores
But the Switch 2 at Costco — Unavailable
Buy the Switch 2 at Target — Unavailable
Staples — Check stock in stores
To avoid hoarding and reselling, Nintendo and retailers are limiting orders per person. That means you'll need to make an account to successfully place an order. We also recommend reviewing our tips for tracking restocks, and in the meantime, try all the links below.
Place an order with NintendoYou can't simply go to the My Nintendo Store and buy the Switch 2. To order the Switch 2, you need to log in with an active, paid Nintendo Switch Online account. Once you do that, you can choose either a Switch 2 standalone console or the Mario Kart World bundle and then hit the confirm button to "register your interest" in ordering a Switch 2.
Now for the weird stuff. Only Switch Online members who have paid for at least 12 months of service and registered at least 50 hours of gameplay on their Switch consoles can purchase through Nintendo. In other words, you better be a true Switch gamer if you want to buy the Switch 2 this way. If you're eligible and follow these steps, watch your email for an invitation link.
Buy the Switch 2 at Nintendo: Nintendo Switch 2 console $449.99 Learn More Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle $499 Learn More How to order Switch 2 at WalmartUnlike Nintendo, purchasing the Switch 2 online at Walmart is pretty simple. Technically, Walmart shoppers have been able to preorder Switch 2 consoles on Walmart's website since midnight ET on April 24. In reality, the console has been sold out consistently. Our advice? Go to the Walmart Switch 2 listing a few times a day and smash that refresh button.
We'll update this article as soon as we find Switch 2 consoles in stock at Walmart (or anywhere). Walmart also sells a lot of Switch 2 launch titles and accessories.
Buy the Switch 2 at Walmart: Nintendo Switch 2 console $449 Shop Now Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle $499.99 Shop Now How to buy Switch 2 at TargetTarget stores opened as usual on launch day, and according to a press release, Switch 2 hopefuls were directed to a "designated queuing location" near the entrance. Target workers reportedly gave out reservation tickets to a lucky few. Buyers were whisked off to the electronics department, where they could finally purchase either the Switch 2 or a Switch 2 bundle.
Buy the Switch 2 at Target: Nintendo Switch 2 console $449.99 Shop Now Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle $499.99 Shop Now How to buy Switch 2 at GameStopGameStop is the one retailer of the four listed here that's doing things a little bit differently. If you were lucky enough to get a GameStop preorder, you could pick up your console at midnight on June 5. GameStop stores also hosted midnight launch events (though supplies were limited), and gamers can go to GameStop locations to participate in a "Transfer and Trade," where they trade in their original Switch and transfer data to the new console.
You can also try your luck online or sign up to get updates when new inventory becomes available. You can also buy Switch 2 games and accessories at GameStop, including those all-important MicroSD Express cards.
Buy the Switch 2 at GameStop: Nintendo Switch 2 console $449.99 Shop Now Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle $499.99 Shop Now How to buy Switch 2 consoles at Best BuyBest Buy joined GameStop in hosting Switch 2 midnight launch parties, but the tents and lawn chairs have been packed away by now. If you weren't one of the chosen ones who got a console at these events, you'll have to rely on the Best Buy website. So far, we haven't seen any inventory available, unfortunately.
As a “high-demand item,” Best Buy customers have to follow specific steps to buy a Switch 2 online:
Create a My Best Buy account and sign in
Confirm your location
Add the item to your cart
Follow the on-screen prompts and check for available inventory
If you get a Switch 2 console in your cart, you’ll have 10 minutes to complete the purchase
You'll notice there's one major retailer conspicuously missing so far — Amazon. That's because Amazon is not an official Nintendo retailer, so any Switch 2 consoles you find there are likely listed by resellers of dubious legitimacy. However, Amazon shoppers can preorder some Switch 2 titles ahead of the launch.
Opens in a new window Credit: Nintendo Daemon X Machina Titanic Scion Limited Edition $99.99 at AmazonAs we noted in our Switch 2 preorder guide, select Staples stores will sell the Switch 2 on a first-come, first-served basis starting June 5. Most Staples locations open at 8 a.m., but we recommend showing up bright and early. Staples will also be selling an unnamed Switch 2 game bundle, and we know it's not the standard Mario Kart World bundle. As with other retailers, Switch 2 consoles are currently listed as "Out of stock" at the Staples online store.
Opens in a new window Credit: Nintendo Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle $499.99 at StaplesAre you a Costco member? Then you may be able to secure your Switch 2 at the mega-retailer, which has been one of the few retailers with actual inventory available on June 5. Costco members can purchase the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle online starting June 5, though there's a limit of one console per membership (every seven days). As of this writing, the console and Mario Kart bundle are both sold out.
Opens in a new window Credit: Costco Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle $499.99 at CostcoSimply put, it's a matter of demand far outpacing supply, though tariffs definitely didn't help.
Since opening for preorder on April 24, the Switch 2 has been sold out pretty much everywhere, like the PS5 before it. In fact, so many gamers tried to place preorders on April 24 that they immediately crashed the GameStop, Target, and Walmart websites. That's left many Switch fans wondering how to buy the Switch 2 online. So, if you aren't buying a Switch 2 in person, keep checking this page for the latest stock updates on Switch 2 launch day and beyond.

We've published his day one review, and check back for a full review next week. To sum up his thoughts, while there are a couple of annoying setup quirks, the new console is a big step forward and just as much fun as you'd hoped. You can also read all about the Switch 2 launch titles we're most excited to play.
"I think it’s awesome," Perry wrote in his Switch 2 early review. "Most of the games I’ve played have been impressive in one way or another, and the hardware is a clear improvement over the first Switch. It’s not perfect, but nothing is."

The new wave of robot vacuums coming to the scene in 2025 has added some serious diversity to the pickings.
A few have been overhyped, like the robot vacuum with an arm. But a few have been impressive — I'm pretty confident that the Roborock Saros 10R will stay my favorite robot vacuum of the year, even if some stragglers come out in the second half. This isn't even touching on the eight new Roombas that casually showed up in the spring.
SEE ALSO: Roborock Saros 10 vs. 10R: I narrowly crowned a winner after head-to-head testing at homeDuring my in-apartment testing of all of these robot vacuums, though, one unique vacuum stood out as deserving of way more attention than it's getting: the Eufy E20 3-in-1 vacuum.
This genius design quite literally involves a robot vacuum that can transform into a cordless stick or handheld vacuum in seconds. Though an affordable convertible vacuum cleaner is probably something a ton of people wish existed, few know it's actually a thing. So let me put you on to the most underrated robot vacuum of 2025 so far.
The self-empty dock holds more than two months' worth of debris. Credit: Leah Stodart / MashableMost robot vacuum shoppers face the age-old question: "Should I get a robot vacuum or stick vacuum?" My ultimate piece of wisdom is to...well, buy both. Rather than spending a lump sum on a super advanced robot vacuum that does everything or on one of the expensive Dysons, you could strategically spend around half on a more budget-friendly version of each.
But what if you don't want to spend more than $500 on your vacuum situation? I can't believe something like the E20 didn't happen years ago, but Eufy deserves serious credit for finally filling that product gap. When I first heard about the E20's release during CES 2025, I expected it to cost near $1,000. Not only is the $649.99 MSRP already pretty feasible, but I've seen the Eufy E20 on sale for less than $400 several times since it came out in February 2025.
SEE ALSO: As a Dyson stan, I wouldn't tell anyone to buy the Dyson 360 Vis Nav robot vacuumThe Eufy E20 is just as much of a space-saving hack as it is a money-saving hack. If you're set on having both types of vacuums, it saves you from having to store a whole-ass upright vacuum in a closet somewhere. Then, the self-emptying dock itself is extremely compact, taking up around half the floor space that the robot vacuums that wash and dry their mopping pads do. It's easily one of the best robot vacuums you could get for a small space.
Unfortunately, you do have to find a spot for the loose stick vacuum wand. I wish the dock had the option to click it on for storage somewhere.
The most powerful suction mode is loud, but worth it. Credit: Leah Stodart / Mashable My cats are notorious for covering the windowsills in potted plant soil. Credit: Leah Stodart / MashableThe motor and onboard dust bin live in the body of the robot vacuum most of the time. To make the switch to handheld mode, there's a single red button to click to release the lightweight handheld part, which clicks right onto the extender wand or handheld brush and crevice attachments. That's it — that's all the hardware that's involved.
To my surprise, the Eufy E20 doesn't skimp on any cleaning modeNo offense, but I wouldn't have been surprised if an affordable robot vacuum promising this kind of versatility ended up having lackluster cleaning skills in at least one of the modes. But for a mid-range price point, the Eufy E20 is actually a solid sucker-upper in the robot vacuum, stick vacuum, and handheld vacuum departments. In robot form, the E20's 8,000 Pa of suction power is definitely in line with most $500 to $700 vacuums out there, including the Eufy X10 Pro Omni that I loved in 2024.
I live with two other people and two cats, so there's always a mix of pet hair, kitty litter, and food crumbs on our hardwood floors and rugs at any given time. The E20 thoroughly picked up between 85 to 90 percent of all the visible stuff, only really missing some corners and edges near plush rugs. I was similarly impressed with the accuracy of its smart mapping — the E20 always made it to the correct room or cleaning zone that I selected in the app, which is the most that I can ask from a "basic" LiDAR vacuum. (The Eufy E20 doesn't mop, so I wouldn't recommend it if you live in a high foot traffic home with lots of hard floors.)
SEE ALSO: I've tested 20+ robot vacuums. These are the only ones I'd tell you to buy in 2025.In cordless vacuum form, the suction power is bumped to 30,000 Pa (for reference, the most powerful robot vacuums of 2025 max out at 22,000 Pa). That cyclonic action can be adjusted through a button on the handle, and the max setting created oomph that I could feel tugging at my hand. If you have pets, I think the Eufy E20's stick vacuum power is more than enough to uproot shedding that a robot vacuum misses.
The best thing about a vacuum that automatically empties itself is that you can really visualize how much the vacuum is picking up during each cleaning session. The E20's dustbin isn't as transparent as Dysons or Sharks that I've tested, but you can still definitely see the tufts of dust that it found hiding somewhere.
But to me, handheld mode is the real gem here. I could never be a robot vacuum-only person is because I'd simply spiral if I had no way to tend to the areas where a robot vacuum or full-sized stick vacuum can't go, like my desk, windowsills, couch cushions, and car seats — all places where my cats shed or people eat snacks. That flexibility boosts the E20's value over a ton of other plain ol' robot vacuums in its price range.
Did it NEED to have exposed guts? Credit: Leah Stodart / MashableIs the Eufy E20 the chicest robot vacuum I've ever seen? Not exactly. The whole exposed motor look is a bit sci-fi-y, and I'd prefer something a little more refined and subtle if the robot vacuum were to be stored in a main room of my home. But at the end of the day, it feels unfair to put too much weight on the E20's curb appeal when it's such a bang for your buck otherwise.
Eufy E20 3-in-1 robot vacuum and cordless stick vacuum $379.99 at AmazonKindles are the It Girl of the e-reader market. Of course, they have the power of Amazon behind them, but it isn't unwarranted. Having tested my way through almost all the e-readers on the market, it's clear that Kindles simply are the best.
But which Kindle is the best? Because yes, there is more than one. There's the entry-level Kindle, Kindle Colorsoft, Kindle Paperwhite, Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, Kindle Scribe, plus several kid's models. Last year, the line-up got an update and we can safely say that the new Kindle Paperwhite is the best option.
The new Kindle Paperwhite remains as good as ever, even if it's missing some updates we were hoping for. It's quick, lightweight, and easy to use. Here's why the Kindle Paperwhite is the best e-reader of the moment.

Credit: Samantha Mangino / MashableThe 2024 Amazon Kindle Paperwhite costs $159.99 for the ad-supported device, while the model without lock screen ads costs $179.99.
In the past, Amazon has offered different storage options for each Kindle model, but 16GB is the new standard, and to upgrade to 32GB, you have to opt for the Signature Edition. Now, the only choice you have to make when purchasing the Kindle Paperwhite is whether to have ads or go ad-free.
No matter which version you go for, these are the specs for the 2024 Paperwhite.
7-inch display, up to 94 nits brightness and 300 ppi resolution (up from 6.8 inches on the 2021 model)
USB-C charging port with up to 12 weeks of battery life
16GB of storage
IPX8 waterproof rating can be fully submerged in water for up to one hour
Comes in black, raspberry, and jade
Before testing the 2024 Kindle Paperwhite, I thoroughly enjoyed the prior model, and I didn't think there was much to improve upon. It was already a quick-moving e-reader that made reading more convenient. However, the most significant upgrades come to the performance and screen.
The latest Kindle moves fast. The previous generation was already quick, so the 25 percent increase in speed isn't quite noticeable if you're moving from there, but it still improves the reading experience with far less loading in between page turns or stalling when opening and exiting books.
SEE ALSO: Kobo's first crack at a color e-reader should have Amazon worriedWhile the brightness and resolution specs haven't changed from the previous model, the screen on the 2024 model does look higher resolution, edging closer to the resolution of a tablet and away from the classic, dim e-reader. The Paperwhite's screen still sports a matte finish that is as easy to read outside on a sunny day as in a dark bedroom.
The battery life can't be beatI don't think there is another device in my house that can go months without charging. My smartphone, smartwatch, laptop, and tablet all require daily charging. My smart ring and headphones can sometimes last up to a week, but months?! That's unheard of.
Yet, the Kindle Paperwhite manages to do it. Having tested the previous model, the new Kindle Paperwhite offers a couple of extra weeks of battery life. On average, I need to charge my Kindle Paperwhite every two to three months, and that's with near daily use.
Building a library is cheap and convenient You can buy or borrow books to build your Kindle collection. Credit: Samantha ManginoYou might not believe me when I say buying a $160 device makes your reading habit cheaper, but trust me when I tell you it will. The cost of a Kindle Paperwhite is the same as about five to six hardcover books, but luckily, Kindle e-books are a lot cheaper. If you plan on buying books from the Kindle store, eventually, the Kindle will earn itself in savings. Plus your purchases earn you points through the Kindle Rewards system, where every 300 points is turned into $3 in Kindle book credits. But there are even more affordable ways to read.
Another affordable reading option is the Kindle Unlimited Program. The subscription program lets users borrow books for as long as they want for a monthly fee of $11.99. You don't need a Kindle to use the program, as long as you have the Kindle app you can subscribe. However, with the purchase of a Kindle, you gain access to a free three-month trial.
Amazon also has a First Reads program where Prime members get free early access to editor-selected e-books. During Prime Day months, members get to select two free books.
Plus you can read library books with Libby on the Kindle Paperwhite.
Is it the best e-reader for Libby?In my opinion, Libby is the best app to ever exist. It connects you with digital loans from your local libraries, bringing e-books to your phone, tablet, or e-reader.
You can use Libby across all Kindle devices as the integration is the same on all models. But is the Kindle Paperwhite the best e-reader for Libby? It's got some competition from Kobo's e-readers.
To get your Libby books on a Kindle Paperwhite, you have to use the Libby app on your phone to then send the books to your Kindle. In terms of ease, Kobo has the Kindle slightly beat, as Overdrive (Libby's parent company) is integrated directly into the e-readers.
However, the Kindle Paperwhite will be the best e-reader for Libby if you have multiple library cards. If you're borrowing on different accounts, it doesn't affect how you send your books to the Kindle. Unfortunately, the Kobo only supports one library account at a time, meaning you have to sign in and out of your account depending on where you're borrowing from.
The library interface is clunkyAs much as I love how easy it is to read library books on my Kindle, they can also make the Kindle library clunky. After you read a library book and the loan expires, you won't be able to read the book. However, the cover still appears in your Kindle library.
Just like I want my books tidy IRL, I want them organized on my e-reader, too. There's no filter to hide your library books on the Kindle. Instead, if you want to hide the expired titles, you need to make a collection in your Kindle library to separate your library books from those you own.
The Paperwhite is better than the Signature Edition for this one reasonI have spent weeks with both the Paperwhite and the Signature Edition, and despite the SE's extra features, I prefer the Paperwhite. The reason is the ad-free lock screen. Yes, ads are annoying. However, the lock screen with ads forces you to swipe past the screen when you turn it on. This is different from the SE's screen, which automatically pushes past the lock screen when you hit the power button.
On its face, that sounds super convenient, saving you a step. That is until you throw the Signature Edition in your bag and pull it out to discover you've lost your page in your book because it accidentally turned on. Meanwhile, this was never an issue with the Paperwhite, which stayed locked while I was on the go.
This issue will be on any ad-free Kindle, not just the Signature Edition. You can add a PIN as a workaround, but like many users, I'd rather just swipe.
All these updates, but there's still room for improvementFrom the previous model, the Kindle Paperwhite remains our favorite e-reader. However, it's missing a few upgrades that I was really hoping to see. Amazon should have moved the power button to the top of the Kindle rather than keeping it on the bottom. I hit the power button while holding the device constantly because of its placement. It could be fine if the Kindle had an internal gyroscope like the Kobo Libra Colour does, and the Kindle could rotate the page, but alas, another missing feature.
Another perk the Kobo Libra has over the Kindle is page-turning buttons. Amazon devastated users by discontinuing the Kindle Oasis in June 2024, taking away the only Kindle with page-turning buttons. I was hopeful that meant this new batch of Kindles would feature buttons, but they're noticeably absent. While the buttons aren't necessary — the Kindle's touchscreen is plenty responsive — having the buttons is just a better reading experience, which is why, in terms of ergonomics, the Kobo Libra is much better.
None of these missing features are dealbreakers, but they do remind us that the Kindle Paperwhite isn't perfect.
Is the Kindle Paperwhite worth it? Here are our final thoughts. You can't beat the displays on the Kindle Paperwhite. Credit: Samantha Mangino / MashableThe Kindle Paperwhite is not just the best Kindle but the best e-reader overall. It's compact and lightweight, just the right size for toting around. The screen strikes the balance of tech and paper, and the adjustable warmth makes reading in the evening better for your eyes. With the release of the 2024 model, it's the fastest Kindle yet, which is good news. When you turn the physical page, it never buffers, so digital readers deserve the same.
While Amazon still leaves some to be desired, it remains the best e-reader you can buy. It's $10 more expensive than the last model but is still a good value.
