Sarah Saril/Insider Amazon's Kindle lineup has led the e-reading space for years. In terms of design, performance, and convenience, they're nearly unrivaled by other brands. Right now, buyers can choose between four main Kindle models, and I put them all to the test to find the best Kindle for most readers. My top pick, the Kindle Paperwhite , presents the ideal balance between performance and price. It has a larger screen than the base Kindle and is one of the cheapest waterproof e-readers you can get. But if you're on a tight budget, the more affordable standard Kindle is also a great buy. It isn't waterproof but delivers the same core features that Kindles are known for without breaking the bank.  After dozens of hours of reading, page-flipping, and book browsing, here's how all the best Kindle model

Trump also promised to include a Libertarian in his cabinet if elected.

Antonio Villas-Boas/Business Insider Google's Pixel 8a is here to serve the pragmatics and those unwilling to spend over $500, and it's a phenomenal option for both. It's all the phone most people practically need, and it offers incredible value for its performance and camera quality. In Google's ecosystem, the Pixel 8a is essentially a more affordable version of the Pixel 8 that's missing a few features.
