I was so hesitant to buy myself a Kindle. I haven’t been in the habit of reading often, so I wasn’t sure if it would be worth it. Let me tell you, this thing has made a change in my life! Now, I use it every single night before I sleep, replacing my habit of phone games or scrolling social media. The screen truly does make such a big difference from reading on a phone. Even with the “proper” settings, my phone feels much harsher on my eyes and to my brain. The Kindle screen is wonderful for nighttime reading, and has adjustability in the display. The quality is phenomenal, I couldn’t believe how vivid the picture looked with the type of screen it has. Even the screensaver looks so dimensional it’s shocking! My boyfriend asked “how’d you do that?” and I had to explain that’s just what it does! Although I love the idea of collecting hard-copy books, this device is way more convenient and makes reading what it should be - easy and peaceful. I don’t have to worry about a light or holding the pages or moving the book or my body around to feel comfortable in my hands. I also love the size and how lightweight it is, it’s so portable and even fits in my small crossbody bag or my nursing scrub pocket! I can bring this thing anywhere with me! My only complaint is that it’s a bit slow in reaction to touch. I’m also still getting used to tapping in the right spots to designate whether I flip forward or back a page, but that’s just a small learning curve on my part. Overall, this has been beyond worth the investment and giving all that it does, I’m amazed at the price I paid for it.

It was a big toss-up between the Kindle White and the Kindle Basic (this one). I haven't read books in years and the last kindle was about four years ago. I read from my iPhone or iPad, but never felt it was good for my eyes. I wanted something easy on the eyes, and something I can pick up in the middle of the night, or wherever and read. Just read. A lightweight, pocketable device that I can pick up, turn on and get right to the page I left off. When I saw that Amazon had released new devices for 2024 - across the board, I wanted to get one so I can start my habit of reading going again. I have over 500 books in my library and it's time I start moving off of social media scrolling and use most of that time reading. I saw an interview with Panos Panay, who was brought on to head the Kindle division and really like what he had to say and the journey he took for the year to make improvements. He helped to bring the color kindle to life, though there are some display issues at time of release, I'm sure those will get addressed. I definitely would love to have one of those, but for now, my needs are more of the smaller and lightweight size. It was a hard choice - between the basic and the paper white. A lot of reviewers say they bought the Paper White and then bought the 2024 basic because the portability was important to them. After using it for a week, I have to agree. It is smaller, lightweight, and easy to hold in one hand. Once you are in the book, the experience of page flipping is fast and getting to the settings is easy and the speed is adequate. Working with the library is more difficult. You can manage the device better via Amazon's website. I was able to download the current few books I was reading. I did put the library in list view and that seemed to help. When I first got the device, it went through the battery pretty quickly. After a couple of days of use it is better, but I had to turn down the display a little bit. I am going on an international trip, which is one of the reasons for getting the Kindle basic. The battery life is a concern, but I feel like the long multi-stop trip will be enough for one charge with enough to spare. I would rather have this lighter version rather than more battery having something that won't fit in my jeans pocket. The important thing is that this Kindle Basic is with me a lot of the times and I enjoy picking it up and reading. Yes, I will get the color version at some point - maybe in a couple of years. For now, the Basic surprisingly will be my go-to. I would recommend they clean up the library view for the Amazon Basic and they upgrade the processor to be even more power efficient while being faster. However, if they made performance improvements I would not upgrade - I would continue to use the Amazon Basic that I have.

My Oasis is now inconsistent in holding a charge. It's okay for use at home but unreliable when traveling since I don't know if the battery will last 3 days or 1 hour. I'm used to the Oasis' warm light and 7" screen, so I thought the new Paperwhite Signature would be a comparable purchase. Unfortunately, the product launch was less than a success and I didn't want to risk getting a unit that needed to be returned. I decided on a stop-gap measure to tide me over until the kinks have been worked out of the Signature, hence this 6" Kindle. Surprise! This little unit is so delightful that I'm no longer in a hurry to upgrade. I thought I would hate the 6" screen because I ramp my print (Bookerly) to size 9 and the smaller screen real estate would necessitate more frequent page turns. True; but the small size and reduced weight make it so easy to hold and thumb the pages that I'm not even consciously turning them. And the warm light? I don't miss it. This screen is so evenly lit and the print so crisp that it is even easier to read than my warm Oasis, which is saying something. Now the cons: If you have trouble reading the menu, dictionary entries, or page numbers on the 7" screen, good luck with this 6" because they are proportionately smaller. I need a magnifying glass to read how many minutes I have left in the chapter or to find my way around the dictionary. I'm not docking stars on this unit because it is the basic after all, but it is a gripe of mine with the premium models that they don't have a way to enlarge pertinent information that isn't book font. Many of us own Kindles BECAUSE we have eyesight issues. I would pay more for the ability to find my way around my Kindle library or homepage without outside aid. Anyway, beware, the 6" is even more difficult in this regard. The outside case is crazy slippery, like wet-soap slippery. It's not a big deal if you use a cover but I like to keep mine uncovered and I've had to add a strap to the back so that it doesn't slip from my hands. One weird pro: Matcha. I chose this on a whim as I honestly didn't care about the color. Surprisingly, this subtle framing of the screen is easier on my eyes than the black or darker colors of my previous Kindles. It's something to consider if you are trying to decide between colors. Overall, I'm happy I made this purchase. The only reason I might consider a 7" in the near future would be to gain the SLIGHTLY larger page numbers, etc. If Amazon made their menus size adjustable, I'd be pressing that buy-button in a heartbeat.
