I had regular kindles more than 10 years ago but got the fire and didn't bother with them. I didn't want to read on my phone. I wanted this but somehow got the Kindle White. I found it heavy with the case so for the first time, I sent it back. I got this. I'm so happy with it. It's very light (lighter than my phone in the case) and you can hold with one hand. Also, the reason I got the white was so I could read at night. It turns out you can read at night with this easily. It has light so you can adjust the brightness. The screen size is adequate and I've read a lot more since getting it. The battery life is decent. I'll add that I had the a Kindle Fire from January 2015 that was still working and charging and I traded that in. I hope this is a good quality also.

I bought this for my husband after how much he like my Kindle Paperwhite and I was pleasantly surprised to find I liked the Basic just as much if not more in some ways. Being slight smaller than the Paperwhite makes it feel noticably lighter and that makes it much easier to hold. The text is crisp and clear and the adjustable sizing makes it easy to read whether you're holding it or propping it up. The adjustable lighting makes it very gentle on the eyes for nighttime reading. It's a pretty sturdy little device and it does everything you could possibly want a portable library to do.

I never wanted a Kindle because I like the feeling of having a physical book in my hands, but I finally broke down and got one. I heard how great Kindle Unlimited was. This Kindle gets the job done. It's not fancy but it's lightweight and is small enough I can put it in my pocket if I need to.

Oooooooh I am hooked badddddd lol. Picked this up during prime day sale and wow. Totally in love. This is my first e-reader ever and it does NOT disappoint. This genuinely offers everything I’d want and need. The size is perfect. The color is amazing and the kindle itself works flawlessly. The only feature I feel it is lacking is a warm light mode.. I know the paperwhite offers that, but I wasn’t interested in paying so much more considering that was the only feature that enticed me of that model. I also prefer the recessed screen of the basic kindle. The paperwhite feels a little too similar to a tablet/iPad to me. I understand the warm light mode is probably reserved for the more premium model to incentivize upgrading, but if they ever add warm light to the basic I will be buying it day one! Literally other than that every thing else is genuinely perfect and has well exceeded my expectations. I can’t wait to read everything!!!

This new kindle is smaller than the older one Amazon no longer supported, but the screen size is almost the same. It is lightweight which is nice. It's great in the daylight at the beach. I don't like the light, for night time. I much prefer the old kindle without light. I turned the light off, but the effect, or the way it looks on the screen isn't the same. However one other thing to note, definitely get the kindle with ads. It's literally only on the screen until you turn it on and start reading. After kindle is open you don't see the ad again. It just replaces the old picture of pencils. I promise you won't regret the ads. I took a picture of one of the ads.

As is said - best thing since sliced bread! Could never understand my previous Kindle, but this is so easy to set up and to use. It's easy to put in a handbag or whatever one carries. It will accelerate your wish to read as it's handy, holds just about any book on earth you wish to borrow or purchase. I am so in love with it - now to find a case.......

This Kindle is so loved that I have actually repurchased it multiple times to gift to my sister and again for a friend. The 16 GB capacity provides more than enough storage to keep an entire massive library of books right at your fingertips. The screen is incredibly crisp and easy on the eyes, mimicking real paper beautifully even when you are reading outside under bright sunlight. The battery life is legendary, easily lasting for weeks on a single charge so you never have to worry about packing a charger for a short trip. It is exceptionally lightweight and comfortable to hold with just one hand, making it a perfect daily companion.
