This Kindle model is fantastic for anyone who just wants a reliable e-reader. Even with the lower storage size, it still holds thousands of books, which is more than enough for most readers. The screen quality is identical to the higher-end version, with the only real difference being that it’s not flush with the bezel. The battery life is also impressive—I haven’t had to charge mine yet, and it truly lasts a week or more. Unless you’re after a sleeker look or plan to read color-heavy books and comics, this Kindle is the perfect choice—lightweight, easy to use, and excellent for everyday reading.

I’ve been using this Kindle for a few weeks and really enjoy how lightweight and comfortable it is to hold. The 300 ppi display makes text crisp and easy on my eyes, and the front-light works great indoors or in sunlight. I love having 16 GB of storage so I can carry a huge library without worry. The Matcha color is a nice aesthetic touch. My main complaint: it lacks waterproofing and warm-light filter that higher models have — so I’m a little cautious reading in the bath or late at night. Overall, a solid pick for everyday reading at a good value.

Just to preface, this is my first kindle. I have an iPad Mini but always stuggled to focus on reading on the tablet and it would always overheat while reading outdoors. I did alot of research on both the basic and ppw. I ended up getting the basic and am very happy with my choice. The e-ink is very easy on the eyes and it also has dark mode. The matcha green is a very pretty color. The interface is easy to use. It is lightweight and the size is perfect to fit in my handbag for on the go reading. Only feature missing is a waterproof version! In the box: kindle, USB C charging cable and quick start guide THINGS TO NOTE: this is a ad supported device. On the lockscreen it shows recommended books. It can be removed by amazon for a one time fee. However it doesnt really bother me. To sum it up, i would highly recommend this kindle to anyone who wants something lightweight, portable and distracted free reading! I included some pics of the kindle alongside a Moto G 5G for size comparsion, lowest brightness, medium and highest.. with dark mode and what the quick settings look like :)
