New Amazon Kindle (16 GB) - Lightest and most compact Kindle, with glare-free display, faster page turns, adjustable front light, and long battery life- Without Lockscreen Ads - Black + 3 Months of Kindle Unlimited (with auto-renewal)

Moving up from reading on my cell phone Kindle app I decided to go with this device, since it is the smallest and lightest. I don't have any desire to move to the larger Kindles since this one is light, compact and portable. It fits in some pockets. Non-reading functions are not so good: slow processor, clunky and sluggish navigation through menus and library. Battery performance is adequate -- device needs charging every few days. Page turning is fast, but sometimes if you don't pay attention and double tap you can jump ahead and without frequent bookmarks you can lose your place. The screen is much easier on the eyes than my cell phone. It is black and white, with no "blue-light reduction," but it is easy to adjust the brightness for different locations. It takes a little while to learn how to navigate the menu items. Conclusion: as a reading device it is 5 stars, though for browsing for new book selections you are better off using the quick cell phone app or the Amazon site on a PC.. Non-reading functions are 2 stars. But you buy it to read, so I Recommend It with a 5-star rating. Some users might prefer the larger models, but if you want a compact one, this is the one. Great free trial of Kindle unlimited, and I suggest the ad-free version even if it costs a bit more.

I bought my new Kindle two days ago after deciding I needed to consolidate my book collection into a device that would be more comfortable to read after my husband goes to sleep (I love the dark mode!!). It was delivered same day which was super convenient. I immediately took advantage of the Unlimited free trial and blew through a 400 page book in 2 days-- partially attribution to the ease of using this the Kindle. The Kindle is super light and really small, so I was really surprised when the font was super easy to read. It was so comfortable to hold in bed while I laid on my side too, as I do most of my reading before bed. The color is super cute as well-- the only drawback is that I couldn't afford a higher end version that I Imagine would be in color and a bit most seamless in scrolling. Sometimes it takes a minute to load the settings and other pages, but when I'm actually reading a book, it swipes through pages super quickly.

Wow! I started with the 5-button Kindle in 2011 and acquired various tablets from Amazon and others along the way. The post 2011 devices had the same problems: they didn't work well in sunlight and were too bright for my nighttime reading. Phones and tablets interrupted reading with e-mails, texts, calls, updates, etc. Other than the 5-button Kindle, they were "heavy."The new green kindle works outside in Texas sunlight, inside on the couch, and in bed. This Kindle weights less than my 5-button Kindle and easily fits in my shoulder bag or gym shorts.My charging station charges the new Kindle in minutes.My audible books play via Bluetooth to a Bluetooth speaker when needed. Said another way, if you wish, you can listen to books or leave the speaker at home or in the trunk of your car - no weight and no wires.I still use and love the 5-button Kindle, but the green Kindle is a wow.Finally - set up. There is no setup. Amazon configures it in advance. You turn it on and start reading. Because of my experience with Kindles from 2011, there was no learning or need for a manual. However, I wanted to find the answer to a question and went to Amazon's FAQ and "Help" webpage.This is the best Kindle I've owned (still love my 5-button Kindle).

I am with Amazon since around 2000, and I started with Kindle keyboard. I switched to Fire for multitasking and better screen. I am still actively using HD6 for size and portability, but glare was always a problem. So I decided to give a try to this smallish 6 inch kindle with slim cover, and it is fantastic.I am a reader, and I read few hours a day every day. I can use my phone for web and email, and occasional youtube. For long reading time both outdoors and indoors, at home and traveling, this simple kindle model is terrific.It is bright enough, has enough fonts and other settings, no glare, and reasonably long time on a single charge. A screen is responsive enough. WiFi is working well, books are downloading fast enough.A full price is all right with free three months of unlimited, and I'll be waiting for a sale to get a backup. I am addicted to reading, you see, so I got to have a backup for a peace of mind. This 6 inch reader even in a cover is slimmer than fire HD6 and fits into any normal pocket. Very portable.For readers like me who don't need any experimentation with features and settings, it is a truly fantastic option. No bells and whistles, just reading. I am extremely pleased.

A Matcha-Made-in-Heaven KindleI’m in love with my new Kindle Basic in matcha green—it’s compact, cute, and crazy convenient. I received a Kindle Colorsoft as a gift from my husband earlier this year (which I do love), and originally thought I’d make my Oasis my go-to for travel. But truthfully, it was just too big and awkward to toss into my sling bag or carry comfortably on the go.Enter my sweet little Kindle Basic—what I now fondly call my baby azz Kindle. It’s light as a feather, zips into any bag without fuss, and gets the job done without the bulk. I did have a brief moment of seller’s remorse for my Oasis, but that vanished the second I started using the new Matcha out and about.The only reason this isn’t a full 5 stars? I really wish it had the warm light feature—my eyes definitely miss that cozy glow during nighttime reading. But even so, this Kindle is basically perfect for everything else. If you’re on the fence, just get it. Your shoulder, your bag, and your inner minimalist will thank you. Bonus points for looking adorable in matcha green and pairing perfectly with a pink case. She’s a whole vibe.
