![BOOK ONE: The First Navigator of Europe
Cook was a captain of the Admiralty
When sea-captains were more like warlocks
...[and] drove their ships
By their own blood, no laws of schoolbook steam,
Till yards were sprung, and masts went overboard-
Daemons in periwigs, doling magic out,
Who read fair alphabets in stars
Where humbler men found but a mess of sparks -
KENNETH SLESSOR, "FIVE VISIONS OF CAPTAIN COOK"

Q: QuestionDoes this device come with the 3 months free kindle unlimited subscription?(1 answer)
A: AnswerConfusing - I received 4 different answers, so I called Amazon. Amazon states that if you buy the Kindle from them, you get 3 free months of Kindle Unlimited. I then called Best Buy & With Best Buy you can get 2 trial months at $4.99 for each month, then you can upgrade to $11.99 per month for books by subscribing.to Kindle Unlimited. There is no free Kindle Unlimited from Bestbuy but it might be worth having the fantastic Geek Sauad in case you have an issue with your Kindle at some point.Answered by RickyB

Great eReader on the go!
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 :)
