    • Kindle basic vs onyx Boox Palma 1
Color: Matcha Option: Without Kindle Unlimited Offer Type: Lockscreen Ad-Supported
Kindle vs Boox Palma Love this thing! The 2024 Kindle Basic is probably the best e-reader you can get *at this price*. but to be honest, if I bought it again, I'd probably spend an extra $45 for the Kindle paperwhite. The battery life is incredible—I easily get 50 days between charges, which blows my mind. It’s lightweight, easy to read on, and does the job well if you just want a simple, reliable reading device. That said, I do wish it had a blue light filter for nighttime reading, and after using my Boox Palma 1, I realize how limited the Kindle is in terms of customization. I use the Boox way more because of how flexible it is. If you’re just looking for the basics and unbeatable battery life and reliability, this is the one. But if you want more control over your reading experience, definitely look into Boox Palma 1 or the Kindle Paperwhite for the blue light filter. ... show more

    • Easy to use
Color: Matcha Option: Without Kindle Unlimited Offer Type: Lockscreen Ad-Supported
I have only had this for about a week. It is fairly close to the simplicity of my old kindle keyboard. I just wanted a device I could load books on to read and not need a computer science degree to use it. I take grandson's to college credit classes and spend a lot of time waiting since they don't yet drive. This little kindle is a perfect size to slip in my purse or in my computer bag. It has two choices for the lighting of the screen. I really like the dark setting as I can read at night and don't need to turn on a light. You can see the screen and read easily but it is not bright enough to wake up my husband. Since I was getting a kindle but didn't know which one my daughter waited and then ordered a screen protector and a carrying case for my Mother's Day gift which I would highly recommend for it. Even with the case it is very light weight. ... show more

I have to admit I was not sure I would be OK with a small screen. My husband reads his Kindle books on his phone and I just can’t. So I thought this was getting very close and had trepidation. However given the price point, I really wanted to give this newest Kindle a try for two reasons. Arthritis in my hands and travel. I use a mini iPad for most all of my Kindle reading, primarily because I love the page turning feature and like the option of being able to jump to other options—messaging or the Amazon app etc. if I just quickly want to, while reading. Also because I love full color for home page and certain art books and other selected books. However, while small, it is a bit heavy. This new Kindle is just right and light. I love it. I can put this in my purse and it’s not going to weigh it down. Something very important to me as well. It’s so slender too. I would get that clear cover though, that helps with the grip, and does not add to the thickness. The screen is so crisp. I am a 67 year old who has had cataract surgery but still have floaters. So the screen, brightness, crispness and the ability to comfortably hold the device is important to me. Knocked all of those out of the park as well. I can hold this thing for hours and even with arthritic hands not feel pain. I don’t need to rest it on anything while reading and that’s a game changer. I am of course aware I can change the font, but I didn’t want a screen so small I’d have to make the font so large I’d get only a paragraph per page. I find that this size is like a better, brighter paperback book where I can slightly tweak the font to perfection giving me that book experience which also is important to me. Page turning is instant. Perfect. Battery is a workhorse. Best yet. Hours later still at 90% which I have NEVER had on any device using it even with moderate use. The photo shows the size of my mini iPad on the left. So while the size difference isn’t that much, the weight is. I own other much older Kindles. A Kindle Fire. An IPad. And various other electronics including other digital readers I really like. For travel. For going to a Dr.’s appointment, for just taking this with, hands down, this is the best. I LOVE it and didn’t think I would so much! I love it so much I’m using it more and more around the house even though I prefer full-color on my home page and the page animation! ... show more

    • Tiny, mighty! Perfect for those who get distracted easily!

It’s honestly been a good two years since I’ve sat down and genuinely read a book… I know…Too long! When I saw this kindle in the shop (the matcha green one) - I was a little hesitant at first. Like why do I need and ebook if I can just order hard paperbacks? But this thing is tiny and mighty! I’ve probably charged it once a month, and I get to read before bed by using the black light option. It’s perfectly tiny where I can just hold it in one hand - and read even laying on my side! Perfect for falling asleep to a good story! The matcha green color is also super cute and not distracting! ... show more
