Perfect for on the go reading

I’ve wanted a kindle for a while now and after borrowing a coworker’s I fell in love! I can carry my books in one little device. In the past I went the tablet route and I would find myself on other apps ( adhd iykyk) . I haven’t decorated it yet but I am enjoying it. Also I might add that it doesn’t do the obvious glitch thing that previous models do, it’s more like a quick blink . If you’re on the fence about getting one I’d say get it.

Missed the Mark

The dark mode has light bleeding. There is light leakage all around the device and Amazon has acknowledged it but is going with “this is just because of the design” don’t know if they plan on fixing it or not but I most likely will return this. Also screen is more warm which is good but also less bright. Also for the price tag this should be waterproof. Another swing and a miss for Amazon Kindle.

Hi Courtney,
Thank you for the detailed and honest feedback — we're sorry this Kindle hasn't lived up to your expectations. We hear your concerns about the light bleed in dark mode, the screen brightness, and the lack of waterproofing at this price point, and we've shared these notes with our team.
If the light leakage seems beyond what you'd expect, it's worth having us take a look — units can vary, and we'd want to make sure yours is performing as intended. Please reach out to Amazon Device Support at amazon.com/contact-us, and if you do decide to return it, they can help make that process smooth as well.
We genuinely appreciate you taking the time to share this — feedback like yours is exactly what helps us improve future devices.

My wife said that she really love her new Kindle. Period it's better than her last one. More sleek, more efficient and purple is her favorite color.
