Amazon Kindle (newest gen) – Lightest and most compact Kindle with glare-free display, faster page turns, adjustable front light and long battery life – 16 GB – With Ads – Black

I've loved using Kindles, ever since I bought the 4th Gen Kindle, over a decade ago. I recently bought another 4th Gen, a few months ago, to have as a backup. I've been using a 10th Gen, White, Basic for a few years and loved it, because it (unlike all of the black models, I've ever seen) didn't show fingerprints, which, tbh, annoy the heck out of me! However, recently, as it's always been in a case, so I can't understand why, it's developed a small "crack" in the frame, to the right of the screen, so I decided that maybe it was time to upgrade. Looking at the colours of the 11th Gen 2022 Models, I liked the "Denim," but was worried that, it too, would be plastered with fingerprints in no time. So, I was pleased when they brought out the Green/Matcha coloured model for 2024, (although I would've preferred a white option) in the hope that it wouldn't show fingerprints as much as the black option. I decided to wait for the Black Friday offers and was disappointed to find, that when they were listed on Thursday, at first, that only the black option was reduced on the Amazon Site (I later found that the Matcha also went down in price, later in the day) But the Matcha was on offer in a High Street Store, so I immediately ordered it and picked it up on the same day. I have to say, that the Set Up process was a breeze. I used the Kindle App on my phone and within minutes, it was all set up. I am particularly pleased, having spent hours, in the past, having organized my Library into "Collections," that all of my collections were transferred to the new device, which was something that I was worried about, but no issues. As to the device itself. It's a delight. I didn't think I'd like the "green" colour, but I absolutely love it. It's very compact and lightweight and a pleasure to hold "naked," and/or in a case. NO fingerprints. The front "bezels" on the device are made of some sort of matt "coarse," almost "roughly" textured plastic, which resists fingerprints and which makes it very secure to hold "naked." The screen is clearer and sharper than previous Kindles. The page turning process is very snappy and the screen, very responsive in all actions. One thing I am particularly pleased with, is that I have never been a fan of the "progress in book" option, which I couldn't disable/turn off (permanently) on my 10th Gen Kindle and whenever I did, I was constantly "reactivating it," accidentally, which I found very annoying. However, although the options are still available and I have it set to "page/percentage" I haven't once managed to "change," the status of the progress by accidentally touching the screen, at the bottom. In fact, I have tried to deliberately change the progress, to find that it takes several taps to do so, which is something I'm not at all unhappy about, so I'm happy to leave it on "page/percentage," rather than trying to turn it off completely. I have also purchased the OEM case for the device, which, although very pricey, fits beautifully, is comfortable to hold and doesn't feel "bulky" unlike the OEM case, I briefly tried on the 10th Gen Kindle. I did try a cheaper case, but, sadly, in spite of being advertised for the 11th Gen 2024 Model was too large for it and had to be returned. There don't seem to be that many options, thus far, for this particular model of KIndle. All in all, I would say that it's my favourite Kindle yet. If you're looking for a good basic e-reader for a reasonable (especially at the moment) price, then I would say, look no further. I can thoroughly recommend this device! 😉📚

Can’t believe how small and light it is. Charge lasts for about a week. Easy to turn on. The adverts aren’t annoying at all. Has lots of features I am coming across as time goes by. Good level of sensitivity. Not over or under.

I had one of the older kindles about to be discontinued so decided to take the offer and purchase a new one, very pleased with purchase. This new kindle is very light and easy to hold in one hand, the touch screen is way better than I expected and so much easier to use than my old button version. Set up was so simple, all my books simply transferred over. The back light is fantastic as I can now read in bed without the light on and it is still easy to read in bright sunlight. Anyone thinking of upgrading I would definitely recommend. Also got credit to buy new books so I am all set for a great summer reading. Ads are no problem at all. The matcha green colour is very pretty. I use daily and battery lasting around a month.

Review written 3 weeks after purchase to allow for real-world usage before posting. Books on this Kindle, which are it's main intention, are great. The screen is clear and easy to read in a variety of light settings, the device itself is lightweight and comfortable to read from for decent lengths of time, and the customization options for the layout of text on the screen are easy to use and modify. The Audible settings, however, are less than spectacular. I am getting frequent (every 60-90 seconds) connection drop across 2 different sets of compatible Bluetooth headphones/earphones and Audible also refuses to sync between the Kindle and the App on my Android device. Both updated as far as possible, both logged out and back in again, whispersync turned on on both devices correctly. The app is approx. 2 hours behind the Kindle and will not update by any means unless I do it physically. I appreciate the majority of people will be buying this to read Kindle books on and for that this device works well. I picked this up specifically to use both the Kindle and Audible settings, and I have to say I'm disappointed on that front.

Bought this because my first gen kindle was going to be no longer supported. The screen size is the same as my old one but the device as a whole is smaller and lighter and much easier to hold. I was impressed that as soon as I switched it on it connected itself to my wifi and downloaded my kindle account and library instantly. It was so easy to follow the on screen instructions to link everything and it even opened my current book where I left it.

Absolutely brilliant, jailbreaked mine and got rid of amazon on it and it works so well now. Nearly 1k books all for free. It is really cheap for what you get and it comes with USB C which is perfect for nearly everyone. Its quite small at around a hands size. Buy this if you want to read on a beach or anywhere else without worrying too much about it being broken. Its incredibly light compared to my old 3rd gen kindle and even my kobo. It comes with wifi and bluetooth and can do some basic web browsing and looking at news.

Great kindle. Brought on special offer as my old kindle was no longer being supported. Kindle is slim, light, nice colour and I'm very pleased with it

What can I say, clear, easy to read , paperwhite is genius. Still love physical books but kindles are perfect spice savers for holidays . Easily syncs with my other devices so I can jump around without losing my place. Battery charges quickly and I have no issues with battery life .

I’ve been using this Kindle daily for a few weeks now, mainly for reading novels and non‑fiction, and it’s exactly what I was looking for. It’s extremely light and comfortable to hold for long sessions, even with one hand. The glare‑free screen works very well both indoors and outdoors, and the adjustable front light makes night reading easy on the eyes. Page turns are noticeably faster than older models, and the battery easily lasts several weeks with daily use. The 16 GB storage is more than enough for a large library. Ads are present, but they are not intrusive and disappear while reading. ✅ Pros: very lightweight, sharp screen, excellent battery life ❌ Cons: still not waterproof Overall, a great choice for anyone who wants a simple, reliable e‑reader without unnecessary features.

The Amazon Kindle is one of the best purchases I have made for reading. The display is very clear and comfortable for the eyes, even after reading for long hours. The lightweight design makes it easy to carry anywhere, whether traveling, studying, or relaxing at home. I especially love the long battery life, which lasts for weeks without needing frequent charging. The screen feels almost like real paper, and the adjustable brightness makes reading comfortable both during the day and at night. Downloading books is quick and simple, and the storage capacity is more than enough for thousands of books. It is perfect for students, book lovers, and anyone who enjoys reading regularly. The overall performance is smooth, reliable, and easy to use. I highly recommend the Amazon Kindle to anyone looking for a convenient, modern, and enjoyable reading experience.

Con un peso piuma (circa 158 grammi) e dimensioni così ridotte da sparire nella tasca di una giacca o in una piccola borsa, questo Kindle ridefinisce il concetto di "leggere ovunque". La sua ergonomia è impeccabile: puoi tenerlo in mano per ore senza affaticare il polso, dimenticandoti quasi di avere tra le mani un dispositivo elettronico. Nonostante l'estrema leggerezza, il dispositivo trasmette una sensazione di grande solidità. La scocca è costruita con plastiche riciclate di alta qualità che resistono bene ai piccoli urti quotidiani e ai graffi. È un oggetto pensato per essere vissuto, lanciato nello zaino e portato in spiaggia o in montagna senza troppi complimenti, offrendo una durevolezza che spesso manca ai tablet più costosi. Il vero miracolo tecnologico risiede nell'efficienza energetica. Grazie al display a inchiostro elettronico da 6 pollici (ora più luminoso e con un contrasto migliorato a 300 ppi), la durata della batteria non si misura in ore, ma in settimane. Autonomia reale: Con una singola ricarica tramite USB-C, puoi dimenticarti del caricabatterie per oltre 6 settimane (con un uso medio di mezz'ora al giorno). Viaggi senza pensieri: È il dispositivo perfetto per i viaggi lunghi o i weekend fuori porta, dove la preoccupazione di ricaricare il device semplicemente non esiste. Lo schermo antiriflesso permette di leggere sotto la luce diretta del sole come se fosse carta stampata, mentre la modalità scura e la luce frontale regolabile garantiscono il massimo comfort anche di notte, proteggendo la vista dall'affaticamento tipico degli schermi retroilluminati di smartphone e tablet.

Sono davvero soddisfatto di questo Kindle. Lo schermo è nitido e molto piacevole per la lettura, anche dopo diverse ore non affatica gli occhi. La luce integrata è uniforme e permette di leggere comodamente sia di giorno che di sera. La batteria dura tantissimo e il dispositivo è leggero e pratico da portare ovunque. La memoria è più che sufficiente per avere sempre con sé centinaia di libri.

Ultra légère, l’écran est très doux pour les yeux (même en lisant plusieurs heures), et l’autonomie est bonne Le stockage est largement suffisant, le tactile réactif, et pouvoir emporter des centaines de livres dans un si petit format change vraiment la vie. Parfait pour les transports, les vacances ou le soir au lit. Franchement, si vous aimez lire, c’est un investissement que vous ne regretterez pas. Je l’adore !
