Currently, there are four models of Kindle Canada: 

  • Kindle (basic model)
  • Kindle Paperwhite
  • Kindle Oasis 
  • Kindle Scribe

There are two versions of the new Kindle Paperwhite :

  • Kindle Paperwhite 16 GB
  • Kindle Paperwhite Signature

New Kindle Paperwhite  Signature comes with a digital storage capacity of 32 GB.


There are two versions of Kindle Oasis:

  • Kindle Oasis Wi-Fi + free cellular connectivity
  • Kindle Oasis Wi-Fi only

You can choose Kindle Oasis with a storage space of 8GB or 32GB. The latest Kindle Oasis was released in Canada in July 2019. 


Besides Kindle Canada e-readers, Amazon also offers a line of Fire tablets. Fire tablet is available in 7-inch, 8-inch and 10 inch sizes. 


Amazon initially introduced Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite to the Canadian market on January 23, 2013. 

Amazon is the number 1 name on the e-book market in Canada, thanks to the fact that they offer customers the largest selection of electronic books, audiobooks, newspapers, and comics in the world.


This content can be accessed with several electronic gadgets (with using a dedicated Kindle app), including smartphones, tablets, and computers. However, none of these gadgets are ideal for reading e-books. When comparing an ereader vs tablet, a tablet has a much shorter battery life, and its LCD glossy display makes it hard to read in direct sunlight.



Kindle Canada

Kindle Canada offers a few subscription-based services for users who enjoy reading books.


Those services are Prime Reading, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible.

A few years ago, many Canadians were wondering where to buy Kindle in Canada. At that time, the Kindle ereaders were available only on the American Amazon website. Not anymore – buying Kindle devices in Canada is much easier. Now, all Kindle models are available for Canadians in online stores and physical stores across Canada.


The best place to buy a Kindle reader in Canada is on the Canadian Amazon website (Amazon.ca).


Kindle reader is Amazon’s own product (designed and distributed by Amazon), so naturally, Amazon offers all models on its website, including the latest Kindle models as well as some refurbished Kindle readers from the previous generation at a discounted price. If you buy Kindle reader from Canadian Amazon, it comes with free delivery within Canada.


You can buy Kindle Canada in brick and mortar stores such as Best Buy and Staples, but currently, it is not as easy as it should be. The selection of Kindle readers varies from store to store, and most of the stores do not carry all models of Kindle reader, or they do not carry any model at all. Instead, most of the retail stores carry only the best-selling models, such as Kindle Paperwhite. Very often, they do not have it in stock in a shop near your place, but they have it in stock in different locations in the other part of the city.


Chapters, Indigo and The Source retail stores offer all models of Kobo e-readers, but they do not offer any model of Kindle Canada e-readers.

Kindle Ereader Canada

The key draw of the Kindle ereader Canada is the E-ink touch screen. Kindle readers use E-ink screen technology that makes very smooth and readable text. Reading books or magazines on the e-ink screen is like reading a real book. All three models of Kindle ereader Canada are now equipped with front light. 


The only Kindle without front light was Kindle basic model, but Amazon re-designed it in the spring of 2019. One of the new features was an addition of front light that consists of four LEDs (light-emitting diodes).

The front light on Kindles is always on, and it is a granularly adjustable system that consists of a few LEDs. Front light settings depending on the time of day and ambient light intensity. Turning the front light on Kindle e-reader up to its maximum level or down to its minimum level will allow you to read an e-book outside in the brightest sunlight or a bedroom in complete darkness without disturbing your partner and without eyestrain. The quality of lighting and the crispness of the text on the screen is a significant improvement over the previous versions of Kindle e-readers. 


Only on the top-end model, Kindle Oasis, front light automatically adjusts to perfect brightness. On the other Kindle models, users manually adjust brightness.


All new models of Kindle ereader Canada that are currently (in 2024) available in Canada possess built-in audio capabilities. Listening to audiobooks on the Kindle ereader Canada is completely wireless- there are no cables that connect headphones and the Kindle ereader.
