  • Hold A Thousand Books in Your Hand
Color: Black Option: Without Kindle Unlimited Offer Type: Ad-supported
Imagine holding a thousand books in your hand. Imagine wearing your jammies while getting that next book in your series, and starting into it a minute later. Imagine reading at night in bed without needing a lamp because your book is backlit (and the light doesn’t hurt your eyes). Imagine having your kindle read to you (even if you don’t have audiobooks) with text to speech while you drive or fold laundry. The 12th edition of the Kindle Paperwhite is a fabulous device and well-worth considering if you read a lot. It’s not too big, not heavy, waterproof, and easy to carry in your purse or backpack. Note that if you get a cover with it (highly recommended), when you open the cover the Kindle turns on automatically to the last page you were reading. With the cover open it feels like you’re holding a thin book -- or fold back the cover if you prefer. The Kindle E-reader is not a computer. It’s not a tablet or a phone. It is a gizmo that acts like a book with a black-and-white flat e-ink screen showing typed sentences and paragraphs. You turn pages one at a time, just like a book. There is no movement on the page and no distraction or advertisement*. It is just text, plus any images that the author has included to illustrate his book. *NOTE: The advertisements on the Kindle are on the main page not the individual book pages and just show books you might like. They are unobtrusive. The backlighting, unlike a computer, tablet, or phone, is gentle because the Kindle’s light is directed onto the screen, not into your eyes. You can change lighting level and add warmth (yellow lighting), decide on dark screen or light screen, and change the size of the print to make your reading experience “just the way you like it.” It’s super-simple to access your own ebooks or to find new ones either on your computer or directly on the Kindle. They load in less than a minute onto the Kindle, ready for reading. Keep in mind if you are a reader that ebooks tend to be half or less the price of the same books in print. You can even find FREE ebooks and audiobooks on Amazon and/or use the Libby app (libbyapp.com) to borrow LOCAL LIBRARY books. You may want to consider subscribing to Kindle Unlimited for $12/month so you can download an even wider selection of free ebooks, audiobooks, and magazines from Amazon to keep as long as you want. Can you tell I love my Kindle? I am wowed by having so many books so easily accessible — not like the time I took that 5-hour flight with one crummy poorly written book and nothing else to do. This 12th generation Kindle is fantastic. The battery lasts a long time. The screen is plenty sensitive for page turns and navigation. I go through one or two books a week easy with this little device. Ebooks have revolutionized the publishing industry, and if you are a reader, the Kindle may be exactly what you’re looking for. If you read many ebooks on your phone or a tablet, consider being kind to your eyes with a Kindle. If you are resisting because you aren’t sure you’ll like ebooks as well as print books, I say what the heck, the Kindle may be worth a try. It’s like driving a racing car rather than a horse and buggy. You might decide you love it. * NOTE: To enable TTS (text to speech) so that your kindle can read to you without audiobooks, turn on your wireless headphones or speaker. Then on your Kindle, tap the top of the screen, then hit the three dots on the right. Go to Settings. Hit Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, then Bluetooth Devices. Select your device so your Kindle will recognize it. Next, close the window and go back to Settings. Hit Accessibility, then turn on Voiceview screen reader. The Kindle should start talking to you. If it’s glitchy, just turn off your bluetooth device then turn it on again. Remember that you have to give double taps not single taps on the Kindle to navigate actions. If you want to change the volume or reading speed (I like 1.25x) just double tap on Voiceview screen to show and customize your settings. ... show more

  • The quality, ease of use, and comfort make it a joy to read on every day.
Color: Black Option: With 3 months of Kindle Unlimited Offer Type: Ad-supported
I absolutely love my new Kindle. My old one is about 10 years old and still works, which already says a lot about the quality, so I felt confident upgrading—and I’m so glad I did. The setup was very easy, and it wasn’t much different from my older Kindle, so the switch over was smooth and not intimidating at all. What really amazed me is how fast this one is compared to my old device. Everything loads quickly, page turns are smooth, and navigating through books and menus is effortless. It’s also very lightweight, which makes a huge difference. I can hold it for long reading sessions without my arm getting tired or sore. The screen is bright and clear, making it easy to read for long periods without straining my eyes. I also really appreciate the built-in dictionary feature—it’s so convenient to look up words instantly without interrupting the flow of my reading. Overall, this Kindle feels like a perfect upgrade while still keeping everything I loved about the older version. The quality, ease of use, and comfort make it a joy to read on every day. ... show more

  • Infinite library that fits my hands
Color: Black Option: Without Kindle Unlimited Offer Type: Ad-supported
I needed something non digital to occupy my time before bed, as you see I am focused on improving my sleep. I need to calm my mind. I took up reading but physical books take up space and require light, which is fine until it was closer to bedtime or I woke up in the middle of the night (it’s not good to lay there thinking). The kindle is perfect. The low display brightness, light weight, and unlimited library size it checked all the boxes. The e-ink display is non digital (like an iPad that is bright, full of notifications, colorful, rewarding, etc.), very comfortable on the eyes, and dimmable. I find it incredibly easy to read and comfortable to hold in my hands. I now have access to all the books I could want covering any subject. Instead of computer games, watching TV, or eating; I myself reaching for my kindle to read, learn, and grow. I’m not using this time to increase the depth of my knowledge, improve my thinking, and develop richer communication skills. Experiencing how others express their ideas in words helps clarify the frameworks I use to think, write, and speak. ... show more

  • Most amazing E-Reader my kids have ever used. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Color: Black Option: Without Kindle Unlimited Offer Type: Ad-supported
Amazing E-Reader bought 2 of my 3 sons one for Christmas and they are obsessed with it. One is an avid reader and the other reads on it frequently. The fit in cases is perfect and on stands is amazing. The adjustable brightness, blue shade adjustability, and the way you can change the mode between light and dark is amazing. The touch screen is super well designed and very responsive. It looks super sleek, and the readability is phenomenal. Overall will recommend to anyone who likes to read. (Side note. not all books are on kindle unlimited) My eldest son’s kindle had an hardware issue and Amazon sent a replacement but do ask customer service if you think something is wrong with it. (The hardware issue was a strange white line going across the screen). Some people think that 16 gigabytes of storage isn’t a lot but that can store about 8 MILLION books. ... show more
