  • A device with a single purpose: reading
Color: Black Option: Without Kindle Unlimited Offer Type: Lockscreen Ad-Supported
Everyone has a smartphone these days, so at this point the Kindle is for one very particular audience: people who want to read a lot of books, and read them with a minimum of distractions. With this version, Amazon has refined the Kindle to the point where it's just about ideal for this purpose. I've owned several previous Kindles, including an early Paperwhite, and currently own a couple of iPads, an iPhone, and a MacBook. For the purposes of long, immersive reading sessions, this Kindle is my best option. The battery life is long enough so that even with constant reading you only have to recharge once or twice a week (you can extend that by turning off wireless). The Kindle also has by far the best screen for immersive reading: it's sharp and clear, with many options for different lighting conditions ranging from bright sunlight (Kindles leave tablets in the dust as far as bright-sun reading is concerned) to pitch black (the dark mode format is ideal for this). You can choose whether to read with a vertical orientation or a horizontal one -- and this option of a horizontal orientation allows you (among other things) to read poetry on a Kindle without imposing premature line breaks. This Kindle is also extremely light and easy to hold for hours on end (my iPad mini is too heavy for that). And as with all Kindles, you can adjust the type size and font so that reading is comfortable for you - I love paper books, I really do, but I need bigger type. In a way, though, what's best about this Kindle is what it doesn't have. You can't read your email. You can't go on social media. Amazon's Kindle browser is perpetually "experimental" -- good! I pick up the Kindle when I want to read books, not when I want to lose my afternoon down an internet rabbit hole. That said, you do get just enough of the internet to assist in your reading. From within any book you can look up unfamiliar names/places on Wikipedia, and there's a great built-in dictionary too. (You can download dictionaries for any language you read, and set them as your default in settings). But apart from those features, the internet might as well be on Mars. Fine by me. If I want to look at videos of puppies or lose my temper about politics, I have my phone (and several other machines, unfortunately). When I look at my Kindle, I can feel my blood pressure go down. More to the point, I can hide my phone under a cat and read books for hours and hours. That might not be your idea of an ideal afternoon. If it is, and you know who you are, this Kindle is pretty inexpensive and much lighter and easier to carry than tablets or physical books. It allows you to carry thousands of books around with you and then sit and read them without distractions. It's limited in its other functions - and that's exactly what makes it ideal. As you can probably tell from the above review, I have the patience of a gnat when it comes to content I don't want to see, and for that reason I opted for the ad-free version. This allows me to have the lock screen be the cover of the current book I'm reading, which is extremely endearing. That said, the version with ads does not insert ads into your books; they're not obtrusive in that way. So you can definitely save a few bucks by getting the version with ads - it won't mess with your reading experience. ... show more

  • The Perfect Gift for Book Lovers
Color: Black Option: Without Kindle Unlimited Offer Type: Lockscreen Ad-Supported
I recently gifted the Kindle, the lightest and most compact version, with a 6-inch display, to my wife, and it has become an absolute game-changer in her reading experience. The compact design of this Kindle makes it incredibly portable, allowing my wife to carry her entire library wherever she goes. The 6-inch display is just the right size – large enough for comfortable reading, yet small and lightweight for extended use. It fits perfectly in her hand, and the anti-glare screen ensures a pleasant reading experience even in bright sunlight. The e-ink technology is a standout feature, closely resembling the look of real paper. This not only reduces eye strain during prolonged reading sessions but also gives the feeling of reading an actual book. The adjustable font size and built-in light make it versatile for any lighting condition, from bright daylight to cozy bedtime reading. The battery life on this Kindle is nothing short of impressive. It lasts for weeks on a single charge, making it a reliable companion for avid readers who don't want to worry about constantly charging their device. Setting up the Kindle was a breeze, and my wife appreciates the seamless integration with her Amazon account. The ability to sync progress across devices ensures she can pick up right where she left off, whether reading on the Kindle itself or the Kindle app on her smartphone. As a gift, the Kindle has been a resounding success. It combines functionality, practicality, and thoughtful design. If you're looking for the perfect present for a book lover, the Kindle with a 6-inch display is an excellent choice. It's a five-star product that has brought a new level of convenience and joy to my wife's reading habits. Highly recommended! ... show more

  • Compact and Easy to Use
Color: Denim Option: Without Kindle Unlimited Offer Type: Without Lockscreen Ads
I love this new Kindle. After many years of service, my previous Kindle died, so I happened upon this version. It is lighter and easier to use. The battery life is soooo much better. The price is right as well. I highly recommend this version. It fits in my purse with hardly adding any weight to an already weighty bag! It is compact but very readable. The only thing I would like to see in the future is the name of the book on each 'page' as I often forget the title. Apparently I am not the only one who would like that feature, all of my friends who own a Kindle would like that as well---hint-hint! ... show more
