  "account": "In September 2026, we added the Boox Go 6 to the list of best e-readers, considering it the best alternative to Kindles. The Kindle Paperwhite remains the best e-reader for beach reading, while the Durobo Krono is the top choice for audiobook enthusiasts. Amazon increased the prices of both basic Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite in July 2026, raising their costs by $40 each. In July 2026, Boox announced the release of the Picco, a pocket-sized e-reader set to be released in November 2026, according to rumors. Xteink introduced the X4 Pro in July 2026, a small e-reader with a touchscreen. As of April 2026, the Durobo Krono and Xteink X4 e-reader were included in the guide. In May 2026, Amazon stopped supporting e-readers from 2012 or earlier, including the first generation Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite. Additionally, Kobo announced integration with Storygraph, syncing reading progress across devices.",
