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...

Ron Batzdorff/Peacock; Phillip Caruso/Peacock Peacock is NBC's streaming service , making it the best choice for fans of "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," "New Girl," and this year's Olympics.

It's the equivalent of about 81 miles per gallon, more than three times the US fuel economy average for model-year 2022 cars. It's also about 500 more miles of range than a hybrid 2023 Lexus ES, w...

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. Yet, apart from a couple of inconsequential attributes (display borders and charging speed), it's doubtful that you'd notice much of a difference between the Pixel 8a and the Pixel 8.  As such, the Pixel 8a cannibalizes the Pixel 8's need to exist, at least if you're looking at full price tags. No other phone can match the Pixel 8a's value pro...
