Absolutely love it! I bring it in my purse everywhere I go. It’s the best size for reading, I don’t get lost in words like I normally do with a physical book. It’s amazing to read in the run because there’s no glare on the screen. It’s a reasonable price for an e-reader. 10/10

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.

I have been a Kindle user for years, I've been buying less and less physical books and more ebooks because of the space physical books take. I got this one recently to replace a paperwhite from about 10 years ago, it has all the premium features that the base models did not have 10 years ago. Clear 300 ppi display, good contrast, backlight, touchscreen, and a good size display. Buying books is super convenient, you can also get free classics from Project Gutenberg or borrow from your local library through the Libby app. My only gripe is that, for some reason, Amazon refuses to bring back the old progress bar, which a lot of people are asking for, but not a deal breaker. Also, If you like having multiple books going at the same time, there's no more convenient way. You'll read a lot of hogwash online about how this thing is limited but, newsflash: it's an ereader, designed to read books, it's not a tablet or a computer or a phone, ok? There are plenty of customization options like font size, dark theme, brightness, as well as tons of convenient features, my favorite is being able to touch a word and instantly get the dictionary definition without leaving the book. If you read regularly, want portability, convenience, comfort, and want to buy books from the comfort of your home and start reading within minutes, you'll love this thing. Recommended without reservations. P.S. Amazon, please listen to the users and bring back the old progress bar.

Love this 6 inch Kindle. It is light, print is crisp, but not small. Press lightly and pages turn quickly. It is compact, so it is easy to take it in your purse or pocket. I can go anywhere with phone in one pocket and kindle in other. Battery came about 50% charged, and i have read about 1 1/2 books already m. Still around 30% charged. I suggest you get the bundle with the kindle. The cover is awesome. My only request is that I would LOVE this kindle in color. I am a painter and live in color!

I absolutely LOVEEEE this kindle!! It has been my favorite purchase of the year, by far! I ordered the match green color and it’s perfect! I do have a case on it in the picture so that’s what the black is around the trim! The storage is amazing, battery life is insane, and I love the dark mode reading feature! Very durable and I love how fast it responds when you flip the page. Totally would recommend, it’s been a game changer for this book girlie!

What *should* an e-reader be? In my opinion, very different from a phone or tablet. Using an e-reader should evoke cozy feelings. No distractions, no “hostile” materials that make phones and tablets arguably feel more “premium”, nothing to get between you and your books. This is the fourth Kindle device I’ve owned. Prior to this, I was a not-so-proud owner of a 2nd generation Kindle Oasis from 2017. I was really impressed by the 1st gen model. It was a perfect e-reader. Impossibly thin and light, detachable from the included case that came with extra battery. I avoided buying it, then blindly jumped on its successor. Unfortunately, it was terribly designed and got me reading less over the years. It may have *felt* premium to the designers, but it felt like the opposite of a book. It used IMO hostile materials like cold metal on the back, with sharp edges that left indentations in my fingers after reading for a while. I liked the hardware buttons, but they weren’t enough. Most importantly, the Oasis gen 2 was a tad too heavy to hold up when reading in bed, at almost 200 grams. And it was intentionally shaped to be held one-handed. Although it was designed with the asymmetrical weight balance to make it feel lighter, it still felt too cumbersome to me. Anyway, enough reviewing my last Kindle. For a while, on and off, I looked for a worthy successor, but the Paperwhite models of subsequent years were just as heavy or even heavier. I decided that there wasn’t a Kindle model that was really made for me. Then I got THIS one, and it changed everything. I’ve had it for a few weeks now. I had never truly considered the base model as an option because they didn’t have the front-lit screens years ago. THE GOOD - Truly lightweight at 158 grams. Thank you for designing an e-reader that’s not a chore to pick up and read for long periods of time, even one-handed. - Great materials. Light plastic, doesn’t get too cold to the touch. The matte finish almost makes the front *and* back feel like paper. - Power button is nice and clicky, easy to press, and I’ve never pressed it accidentally. - Comes in a not-boring color (matcha). I’m not *really* into the color, but I’m definitely not into the ubiquitous black electronics aesthetic. I wish there was a white version, but the matcha is fun. - Very performant. Just browsing around the OS is leaps and bounds ahead of the 2017 model. Page flips are so quick, a couple of times I’ve missed the flip transition while simply moving my eyes from the bottom right corner to the top left. As long as future updates don’t make it slower, this will never get old. - Kindle branding is subtle and classy. In some lighting conditions, you can barely see it head-on. - USB-C is a great upgrade from the 2017 model. - Lower price is a bonus. I didn’t buy it for the low price. I got it for the weight. So it’s a win-win. THE NOT SO GOOD - No warm lighting. I get why this is. They want to keep some features exclusive to the higher-end models. But I don’t consider this a low-end model. It’s the compact, lightweight Kindle. I wish there was a small Kindle with premium features. This base model was so close, but not quite there. Even today, while I love this thing, there isn’t a Kindle truly made for me. - BEWARE: The back plastic is very easy to scratch. If you don’t put it in a sleeve or case, the lightest hits and knocks against other hard material will immediately scratch it. Scratches are hard to see in the matcha color, but they’re there if the light catches them right. It’s annoying, but I still like the matte feel. - No hardware buttons. Not a dealbreaker for me, but hardware buttons have a side benefit that I really miss from the Oasis - the ability to turn the touchscreen off while reading. I like putting my hands all over the screen for easier holding. The Oasis would allow this, and to re-enable, you’d have to put it to sleep and re-awaken. Obviously, you can’t do that on this model. Can only hold it by the bezels, OR by sliding your finger up or down and holding it there (vs left or right for page flip). - No way to flip landscape mode upside down. There’s no tilt detection in this model, so you’re stuck with defaults. Want to hold this Kindle in landscape with the thicker bezel in your right hand? Nope, no way to achieve that. It’s on the left side. I hope they improve this with an update one day. I love this *only* for the weight and size. This is how all e-readers should feel. I wish there was a premium small and light Kindle with all the bells and whistles, and that would be the truly ideal one for me.

I bought this to replace my Kindle Fire HD tablet, which I was only using to read books. I did not realize how much I needed this Kindle until I bought it. The battery life is really nearly 6 weeks. It is very light weight and easy to hold. It fits in my pants pocket so I can easily carry it with me no matter where I go. Very easy to read in all kinds of lighting. I can still enter notes and highlight as I read. The dictionary is easily accessible if needed. What I like most is that it is reliable. When I turn it on, it is ready to go. Great purchase and highly recommend it.

It’s a cute kindle! I love the color and it works well! On airplane mode the battery lasts a few weeks and it’s smooth functioning. It’s also quite small which I like. I can hold it with one hand.
