I got this Kindle as a gift for my mother-in-law, and she absolutely loves it! She’s been enjoying how lightweight and compact it is, making it easy to hold for longer reading sessions and convenient to take along wherever she goes. The screen is clear and easy to read, and the faster page turns make moving through books feel smooth and responsive. The 16 GB of storage also provides plenty of room for building a nice digital library without constantly having to manage space. Overall, I think this makes a wonderful gift for anyone who loves to read. My mother-in-law was thrilled with it, and seeing how much she enjoys using it makes me very happy with the purchase.

I love this Kindle! It's lightweight, compact, and easy to carry anywhere. The screen is clear with great contrast, and the faster page turns make reading feel smooth and effortless. The 16 GB storage is more than enough for a large library, and the matcha color is a cute bonus. Great for anyone who loves to read!

Absolutely love this device I chose the basic over the paperwhite for a couple reasons 1. I dont need it waterproof I dont read around water 2. The extra light effects the paperwhite has I didnt need since I like to read in black and white mode anyway. 3. I like the smaller model because it fits better in my hands and its so light. I actually thought it was going to be smaller, so im happy with what I received. 4. I dont need the extra like 6 weeks of battery life. This thing already has 6 weeks of battery life itself. I received it last month haven't charged it once and its at 40% and I read for 1-2 hrs a night. 4. The price is way better than the paperwhite. My review, if you read by water, have messy kids, read in the bath, want to pay extra then get the paperwhite. But if you want just a nice relaxing read at night with no fuss and just relaxation get this one.

I absolutely love this Kindle, it’s the perfect size not too big and not too small, I love home compact it is! I love how easy the setting is to navigate and how easy it is to adjust to my liking! My only complaint and thing i was disappointed with was the kindle is very slow, its takes a while for things to load! Other than that it’s awesome, I can download many different books to read over the span of time. The battery life last for quite a while when you are just reading, but if you are browsing so dealing with settings I noticed it tended to die a bit quicker. On a positive note it’s really easy to hold on to and easy bring along with everywhere!

This new version is the best! I was surprised at how small it is, but it’s so lightweight and compact. it’s a pleasure to read with it. Page turning is much faster. The matcha color is beautiful. The one complaint I have is sometimes I have to press really hard on the screen to return to Home or the Library. Also, sometime tapping the screen to turn the page flips ahead several pages. The price is great, and my purchase came with 3 months of fee Kindle Unlimited. I’ma very happy reader! highly recommend this product.

I needed to upgrade my kindle because mine was so old it was going to be out of service life. I got this one and it's so much lighter and smaller than my last one and I love it. It's easy to read books, I love the texture of the screen, and I absolutely love being able to read in bed without worrying that it's going to fall on my face lol

So I've been a Kindle reader for more than two decades -- solidly in love with these little creatures. Most recently I TOTALLY FILLED my 2011 Kindle Touch, and its battery was no longer holding a charge like it used to, so I decided it was time to buy my third Kindle. I've had it about a month now, and the learning curve was real. The set-up, etc. is different from my (very old) Kindle; this is not good or bad -- just saying, I wouldn't get this new Kindle and expect to be "up and running" immediately. I strongly recommend you pick up a sticker from Decal Girl to give your Kindle a personality and a name. My third Kindle's called Button. I spent significant time researching what I personally really wanted /needed, and I decided that -- in addition to basic Kindle services -- I wanted small size, large storage and a lighted background. I don't need color or waterproofing. It came down to this Kindle or the Paperwhite. I'm not sure I chose right. First, the things I love: First, the things I've loved about all my Kindles: I can hold over 2500 books in my hand -- no need to own /dust bookshelves. I can take ALL my books on vacation (or just to the dealership while my car's being serviced). And my books do not turn yellow with age. The lighted background is fantastic -- it's something I've wanted for a long time, and it does not disappoint -- on our last vacation, my bedside light was poorly placed /made reading hard -- that's not a problem anymore. And I can read while my husband watches football /he doesn't complain that my light makes a glare on the TV. The light is adjustable. Yes, the backlit Kindle is WONDERFUL! I use the touch-dictionary pretty often, and I love that this Kindle "saves up" the words I've checked, and I can quiz myself with flashcards through the Vocabulary Builder feature. I like the option to use black pages /white lettering or to change the font. Things I don't love: The biggest thing is that the "sidebars" are too narrow -- and I have small hands -- I hold mine by its sides, and I often accidentally touch the screen without meaning to, prompting the machine forward or back accidentally. I'm thinking of adding a PopSocket to the back -- maybe that'll help. I think the slightly-larger PaperWhite might be better in this regard. It's also incredibly thin -- it feels insubstantial in my hands. It's slower to turn on than my old Kindle -- I must push the button at the bottom, and for a few seconds it says "Waking up", then I have to swipe to open it. True, we're talking about a few seconds, but I don't love that. The battery does not last as long as my old Kindle Touch -- but I feel sure that's about the lighting, and I'm very willing to plug in more often for that. Overall, I'm very pleased with my Kindle, but I do wonder if I would've been happier with the slightly-larger Paper White.

After spending months researching different e-readers, the Kindle Basic was my top choice. It’s portable— not as small as my phone and not so big that it’s like I’m carrying an iPad around. It is lightweight so it fits in my pockets or purse easily for on-the-go reading. I have enjoyed every moment of reading I have spent on this kindle in the past 4 months. The screen has a very clean and crisp look to it and is comfortable to read on without straining your eyes. The brightness setting is helpful for reading in darker places and I love how you can even read in the daylight without a screen glare! The reaction time is very quick when you scroll or flip a page and I have had no problems with it. After flipping too many pages too fast I have noticed a faint bit of “ghosting” where I can see the letters from the previous page faintly over the new page but it goes away and does not make it unreadable or uncomfortable to look at. The battery life is long and plentiful; I have gone weeks without charging it although I only read for 15-30 minutes at a time every day or so. It has gone to coffee shops and to church camp, on road trips and in the backyard for sunny reading. I got the Kindle Magnetic Flip Case separately and paired together my kindle has been very durable! Very happy with my purchase 🎉🥳
