The lightest and most compact Kindle - Now with a brighter front light at max setting, higher contrast ratio, and faster page turns for an enhanced reading experience. This is an ad supported device that displays sponsored screensavers on the devices lockscreen.
Q: Is it possible to buy the ad-free version at Best Buy?
A: Best Buy does not sell this model without ads (Amazon calls ads "Special Offers") but you can go to your Amazon account on your phone or tablet and go to Device tab and have them removed for a $20 fee.
Q: How much does Amazon charge to get books onto my Kindle (I have Prime)
A: It charges the individual Kindle book prices listed on amazon. You could look into Kindle Unlimited (11.99 per month). Kindle unlimited gives you access to a huge library of books and magazines. I think there are great books to choose from to read. Kindle unlimited is not included with prime, unfortunately.
Q: What is the difference between the Kindle paper white and the Kindle?
A: Hello DZ, The Kindle Paperwhite is the upgraded version of the Kindle. It features a 7 inch screen compared to the Kindle's 6 inch screen. The Paperwhite also offers the ability to adjust the backlighting on the Kindle creating a warmer, easier on the eyes screen. The Kindle Paperwhite is also Waterproof, where the Kindle is not. The Paperwhite is rated IPX8, which means that it's waterproof in up to 2 Meters of submersion. The Screens are a slightly different design as well, the Paperwhite screen is a flush screen with no borders, where the Kindle screen is inset slightly. I hope this answers your question!
Q: Does this come with a charger or do I have to buy one separate ? Ty
A: Hello! The Kindle comes with a USB-C to USB-A charging cable. You can use a standard USB-A power adapter block with this cable for charging. I hope this information helps. Have a great day.
Q: Can you change the text size on this kindle?
A: You can! You can also change the brightness, highlight, bookmark, and most everything else you’d wanna do with your books. It also has Bluetooth if you’d like to invest in audible and listen to books also. The first picture is normal size font and the second one I added is the large size and is the biggest on the kindle. Hope this helps!
Q: IS this generation Kindle compatible with a Mac-Apple products?
A: Hello Peach, Yes, If you were to plug the Kindle in to an Mac Device, the Mac device would recognize it as a storage device and would also charge the Kindle. The Kindle app is also available on the Mac OS so you would be able to download the Kindle app on any of your Apple devices and it would sync across all platforms. For example, if you were reading a book on a Macbook or Ipad and switched over to Kindle, you would not lose your place or any of your books between devices. I hope this helps!
Q: Does this kindle have dark mode?
A: Hello Eve, Thank you for your question. Yes the Kindle has "dark mode" where the screen reverses, so the background is black and the text is white. Hope this helps, have a nice day!
Q: What are the dimensions of the device itself, not the screen?
A: These are not exact measurements but it is approximately 6 inch height x 4 1/4 inch width by 1/4 inch thickness.

I love my Kindle. I was worried that because it’s an electronic device I wouldn’t enjoy it as much as reading a physical book, but I actually read even more now. It’s easy on the eyes, even after a long day of work. I love having multiple books with me in one place. It’s super lightweight and comfortable to use. The font size can be adjusted, which makes it comfortable for any age. I loved it so much that I immediately bought one for my mom, and she loves it too, especially the larger font option.

The Kindle delivers a highly polished and distraction-free reading experience. The screen quality is excellent for long reading sessions, with crisp text and comfortable lighting. Performance is smooth, storage is more than sufficient for an extensive library, and battery life meets expectations for daily use. Overall, it is a reliable and well-executed device that fully delivers on its core purpose.

Great e reader, it's a perfect pocket size, doesn't hurt my hand to hold it while lying down. I've never used any other e reader than kindles and this one is my favorite of the few I've had. Definitely recommend for anyone who gets hand cramps or with arthritis, you can change font size super easily and this one seems to be speedier than my last kindle with great battery life.
