  Perfect gift

  I couldn't be happier with the Kindle Basic. It is incredibly lightweight and compact, making it the perfect device to toss into a backpack or carry around for daily reading. The 300 ppi glare-free screen looks exactly like real paper, even under direct sunlight, and the built-in adjustable front light makes reading at night extremely comfortable for the eyes. The battery life is phenomenal—it lasts for weeks on a single charge. It’s a distraction-free device that does exactly what it promises: provides a flawless, portable reading experience. If you love books, this is worth every single penny.Ver másVer menos

  Def worth it

  Perfect size & is very lightweight. I absolutely love physical books, but I don’t have enough space for more in my home (plus packing all those books up for moving is a chore & very heavy). I purchased mine in the green color along with the matching fabric case & recommended charger (added up to around $175). It came about a month or so ago, & I haven’t been able to put it down since. The battery is incredibly reliable; the charge lasts FOREVER (realistically—about 5-7 days with daily use). I take it everywhere with me as it fits easily in my bag & the charge holds so well.As far as cost, I save so much money on physical books, primarily because of the kindle unlimited subscription which is roughly $12/month after the trial. I can read as many books as my heart desires for that price alone. *Mwah* Chef’s kiss.The setup was a breeze, but the ‘controls’ were a little difficult to figure out at first, especially on the swipe to get back to the home screen. But everything else is pretty easy. The brightness, text size & other settings can all be changed easily.If you’re going back & forth on the ads vs. no ads feature like I did: CHOOSE ADS. It’s more or less just book suggestions. They only occur on the screensaver, plus the advertised cover art is usually pretty awesome & you get to explore new reads if you want!Long story short: Well worth your dollar if you purchase (or want to purchase more) books & read often. Easy to learn how to use, holds a charge fabulously, & I can’t stress enough—it is the perfect size for reading on the go.Ver másVer menos

  I READ A BOOK IN 4 DAYS! I haven't read a complete book in years until I bought this Kindle!

  I've been trying to read books again for the last couple of years without much success. In 2025 (and probably 2024), I never finished a single book that I started. That includes self-help, college textbooks, and friend's books! Fumbling with books, turning pages, trying to remember to carry it with me, all of that made it difficult for a working adult with a family to sit down and read, even for a few minutes. Not to mention my arthritis, needing to wear reading glasses, needing a light just bright enough to make out the words, and more.I ordered this Kindle on New Years Day and fully expected to get bored of it in a week and want to get my money back. I downloaded my first book (Included in KindleUnlimited), by an author I never heard of (even though she's critically acclaimed and has had books turned into movies) and started reading. I was INCREDIBLY SURPRISED how easy it was to read on this thing. It's MUCH better than a physical book, by leaps and bounds. I started reading the book on Monday and finished it by Thursday. I can't wait to start my next book! The book was good... and that kept me interested, however... a few things about the kindle made it easy to finish the book so quickly...1) Mainly, it was how easy on the eyes and the size of the text. I didn't need my reading glasses at all and the text was clearer than any book I've opened in the last few years.2) It's lightweight and fits in my pocket! I like to (try to) read books of all different shapes and sizes; from large hard back to small and thin paperbacks. It doesn't matter the author's preferred format, this kindle puts them all in my pocket with ease! Plus, one-hand reading is easy, I don't have to "hold back" the other pages while fumbling from page to page.3) The feel of the screen is smooth and it's easy to turn pages with the same hand I'm holding it in, but even better with a quick swipe of my other hand.4) It's just the right amount of brightness with the backlight. I can read it without the backlight sometimes, but I prefer the backlight already and my eyes don't strain. It does drain the battery much faster, but I believe I could finish an entire book without having to charge it at all.Overall, this thing is amazing and I look forward to expanding my mind and READING on my spare time instead of playing mind-numbing games on my phone. I do love my card and board games, but they might have to take a backseat. Both my phone and this kindle fit in my pocket easily so if I want to take a break from reading spades and backgammon are always available...

  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Lightest Kindle Really Feels Like It Disappears in Your Hands

  I upgraded to this Kindle mainly because I wanted something I could actually carry everywhere without thinking about it and this thing absolutely nails that idea.First impression:It’s shockingly light. Like, “did I actually put it in my bag?” light. The 6-inch glare-free screen is crisp, easy on the eyes, and perfect for reading in bed, at practice, or while waiting around with the kids.This newest basic Kindle is widely recognized as the lightest and most compact Kindle in Amazon’s lineup, designed specifically for distraction-free reading and portability.What stood out:* Extremely lightweight and easy to hold one-handed* Sharp text with improved contrast and fast page turns* Battery life that lasts weeks, not daysReal-life use:This has basically replaced physical books for me on the go. It fits in a jacket pocket or small bag, and I’ve used it in every “waiting situation” imaginable: kids’ activities, travel, even just winding down at night.Pros:* Lightest Kindle available (true carry-anywhere device)* Very readable screen with no glare* Long battery life (charge it and forget it)Cons:* No warm light or waterproofing like the Paperwhite* Smaller screen than premium modelsBottom line:If you want the most portable Kindle possible and don’t need extra bells and whistles, this is the one. It disappears in your routine in the best way. 📚Ver másVer menos

  Best e reader yet

  I am thoroughly enjoying this Kindle, it is lightweight and so easy to read that I find myself reading even more than I used to. Being able to adjust the screen so easy makes it easy on my eyes, and the easy to access dictionary helps with the readability of any book I choose. Page turns are very fast, as are uploads. Battery life is very good, lasts for over a week and I am on the Kindle every day. It is an excellent purchase and I am planning to buy another as a gift.Ver másVer menos

  Very compact

  I like this little Kindle, and it IS small! It’s not much bigger than my phone and weighs less. I just wanted it to read books at night so it’s easy to hold when I’m laying in bed. The only thing I didn’t know was that it’s not in color so everything‘s black and white. ( like book covers). The more expensive Kindles have color.I also have a Bible on my Kindle and it’s hard to navigate through your Bible. You can find a book, but you can’t find the chapters.(at least I haven’t figured out how to do that yet).It comes with a charging cord, but not a plug so you can charge it if you have a desktop computer. Or you can purchase the plug separately if you don’t already have one.I did not purchase the $32 case by Kindle that folds up, but I did purchase a silicone cover for much less. If you travel a lot and take your Kindle, you might want to invest in the case. It’s very nice. I just needed something to help me grip the Kindle better because it is slick. The screen is nice and it goes into dark mode if you want to read at night and have less light in the room. It’s easy to read during the day. There’s no glare on the screen.I would’ve given five stars if it was a little easier to navigate through books.Ver másVer menos
