Amazon Kindle 16 GB (newest model) - Lightest and most compact Kindle, now with faster page turns, and higher contrast ratio, for an enhanced reading experience - Without Lockscreen Ads - Black + 3 Months of Kindle Unlimited (with auto-renewal)

It’s very light weight and convenient to carry around. It’s small enough to carry in your pocket or purse but not too small so you still get the feel of a book. I was used to physical books for years but after getting this kindle, I rarely buy physical books anymore. It’s perfect and you can read many more books conveniently especially longer books which I like. It would be nice of the book titles were in color instead of blacks and white but that’s a minor issue.

So far I LOVE it. The color is GORGEOUS and true to the pictures, the screen, when the brightness is turned down looks just like paper. I paid to have no ads and it is soo worth it, navigating through the device is super easy. Sometimes it takes a while to respond if it looking up a book in the kindle shop but other than that is responds super well. I've read some manga on it and the pages turn super quick and super easy to read on. It's small enough that u can take it anywhere I popped it into the rose kindle case as soon as I got it but this thing is pretty sturdy. There's no buttons which is kind of sad but the touch screen is textured and doesn't feel like an iPad or phone while ur kindle is off it'll display your book cover on the screen but u can disable if u want. Overall the experience is a 10/10 and I couldn't recommend it enough

I've been trying to read books again for the last couple of years without much success. In 2025 (and probably 2024), I never finished a single book that I started. That includes self-help, college textbooks, and friend's books! Fumbling with books, turning pages, trying to remember to carry it with me, all of that made it difficult for a working adult with a family to sit down and read, even for a few minutes. Not to mention my arthritis, needing to wear reading glasses, needing a light just bright enough to make out the words, and more. I ordered this Kindle on New Years Day and fully expected to get bored of it in a week and want to get my money back. I downloaded my first book (Included in KindleUnlimited), by an author I never heard of (even though she's critically acclaimed and has had books turned into movies) and started reading. I was INCREDIBLY SURPRISED how easy it was to read on this thing. It's MUCH better than a physical book, by leaps and bounds. I started reading the book on Monday and finished it by Thursday. I can't wait to start my next book! The book was good... and that kept me interested, however... a few things about the kindle made it easy to finish the book so quickly... 1) Mainly, it was how easy on the eyes and the size of the text. I didn't need my reading glasses at all and the text was clearer than any book I've opened in the last few years. 2) It's lightweight and fits in my pocket! I like to (try to) read books of all different shapes and sizes; from large hard back to small and thin paperbacks. It doesn't matter the author's preferred format, this kindle puts them all in my pocket with ease! Plus, one-hand reading is easy, I don't have to "hold back" the other pages while fumbling from page to page. 3) The feel of the screen is smooth and it's easy to turn pages with the same hand I'm holding it in, but even better with a quick swipe of my other hand. 4) It's just the right amount of brightness with the backlight. I can read it without the backlight sometimes, but I prefer the backlight already and my eyes don't strain. It does drain the battery much faster, but I believe I could finish an entire book without having to charge it at all. Overall, this thing is amazing and I look forward to expanding my mind and READING on my spare time instead of playing mind-numbing games on my phone. I do love my card and board games, but they might have to take a backseat. Both my phone and this kindle fit in my pocket easily so if I want to take a break from reading spades and backgammon are always available...

This is great little Kindle Reader; I bought the Match green one & the color is perfect! It's lightweight, easy to handle, and fits perfectly in a purse. It's black & white screen is easy to read, and like the bigger readers, the font can be changed by font style and size to fit your needs. You can order books with this reader, but not Amazon's wide range) products. . The advertisements state that you can go up to 6weeks on a charge, but I don't believe that. I read a lot and I have charge it every day or two. All in all, I think this a great reader. I also bought the case and it's a great item also.

This is my first Kindle. Reasons for the purchase. works to read e-book outside, and audio books, blue tooth only, size is good to carry with you for travel diversions. If actively using it, battery maybe last 10 hours. For me that means daily recharge before the end of day. Charges fully in a couple hours via 45 watt power charger. opposite of expected, the Kindle needs brighter screen in the dark than in the light. I guess that means more power usage at night. I think it will work well traveling, although I may run out of power on the long flights so looking into need to recharge in flight. Interface leaves a lot to be desired. Below are the reason why I have gone back to audio on my fire for normal home usage. I have used a Fire tablet for reading and listening, but I did not want to travel with the Fire. The software interface with the Fire is leaps and bounds better than the Kindle. Kindle interface is cumbersome, particularly with the audio. Pauses of more then a few seconds, turn the kindle off such that the kindle needs to be physically handled to be turned on again. Audio, chapter numbering is different from my Fire, same book. When it fails to sync properly, it starts at the beginning. I loose my place and no way that I can see to find it again except to re-listen to parts to hunt out what seems familiar. It only says where you are in the chapter, and % of book, not how much is remaining of the whole book. Since the chapters don't match this makes it more difficult to fix the sync mishap. Despite the Fire and Kindle being Amazon products, it is hard find a list of my library of audio books without first searching by name for what I know ought to be there.

It's much smaller than I was used to, but I found I like the sleek style of it and it is easier to hold in one hand, especially in the car or on the bus. The size is a bit small to see the book icons, and there is no way to resize those. So just be aware of that. I often use more than one device so for me, this is mainly for lightness and compact-on-the-go. The matcha color is dreamy!!! So pretty and cute. I am glad I upgraded to a newer model and was happy they had this model available still. The speed is so much faster than my old model.

This Kindle is small enough to hold with one hand it’s pretty light. The screen quality is really good. Feels like I’m reading a book not a computer screen and I like how they added dyslexia font to all kinds so now I can read a lot better and I like how you can borrow library books, and put it on the Kindle. and the battery life is wonderful for long trips and this kindle is good for taking anywhere, it’s easy to use and the price is not that bad for an E reader perfect for people who don’t want to spend a lot of money for a Kindle. This was my first Kindle until I upgrade it to the colorsoft Kindle. but if you’re not reading comic books or graphic novels, this Kindle is a good one for any one who wants to try Kindle. The only thing I do not like with the Kindle program is the trade-in value sucks. so I just end up keeping the Kindle I’ve already bought. But that’s my only complaint about the Kindle. I get better trade-in for my Apple iPad from Apple but Amazon does not give you a good trade and value towards a new one which is why I hardly ever upgrade, but the book selection is wonderful. You can use it with your local library using Libby Goodreads is connected to it. Amazon needs to look into another program because Goodreads sucks. I like how Kendall gives you encouragement to read every day and it will ask you how many books you want to read in a year and tell you your progress and I really like that and I like how people with dyslexia can now read more comfortably if you just want to read books this is a great starter Kindle

The Amazon Kindle 16 GB (newest model) turned out to be an amazing purchase and a perfect Christmas gift. My wife was unsure about switching from paperbacks to a Kindle, but after a little setup, she was completely hooked. She ended up reading two books in just three days and even says it feels like she reads faster on it. The size is just right—lightweight, easy to hold, and comfortable for long reading sessions. The screen is easy on the eyes and truly feels like reading a book, not a tablet. Overall, she absolutely loves it, and it completely won her over as a reader-friendly, convenient alternative to paperbacks.
