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.

I recently upgraded to the Kindle Gen 11, and it has transformed my reading experience in the best ways possible. One of the standout features is the ability to set the book cover of my current read as the screensaver. This personalized touch constantly reminds me of the adventure waiting to unfold with each chapter. The Kindle Gen 11 also provides an immersive reading experience, often giving me a euphoric "reader's high" as I get lost in the story. The sleek and lightweight design makes it easy to carry around, allowing me to read comfortably anywhere. Its responsiveness and fast navigation make for a seamless reading experience, while the exceptional battery life means I can enjoy uninterrupted reading for weeks. The customizable settings, including adjustable font sizes and styles, make reading effortless and tailored to my preferences. The brightness settings, especially the ability to read in the dark, have been a game-changer, allowing me to read anytime, anywhere without straining my eyes. Additionally, having access to a vast library through the Kindle Unlimited Store ensures I always have something new and exciting to read. The add-ons I've added, like the stylish cover and protective screen, not only enhance the appearance but also offer great protection. Overall, the Kindle Gen 11 has exceeded my expectations, blending technology and literature to offer a perfect reading companion. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to elevate their reading journey.

I bought this as a gift for my fiancee. She said for her first time with an e-reader she’s obsessed. She loves that it is light weight and fits in almost every purse she owns even small hand bags. She loves that the light doesn’t hurt her eyes when reading and hasn't had any issues using it. The only thing she cam across was that she had to google how to leave the book and go back to library which was a simple tap to the top of the screen. She said she rates it 5 stars and is obsessed with it. The battery life last like a whole week. Im thinking about getting myself one! I didn't know it came with 3 months on kindle unlimited which was a big added perk. Overall it great gif and gave me big brownie points with my fiancee so its a win in my book!

The product it good, light weight and screen is just amazing. I was not sure if I should buy the product or not but now that I have used it I think it is totally worth it. The next version of the product have a night shift(warmth) which I feel is missing in this version. Otherwise, I think the product is just Amazinggggg, specially the screen. The X-ray feature for characters in the book is one of the most useful one.

Perfect little reader for distraction-free reading

I bought the Amazon Kindle (16 GB, 2024, Black) and I’m pleased with it so far. I love being able to read without any distractions—no notifications, no apps, just books. The screen is easy on the eyes, even after longer reading sessions, and the adjustable lighting makes it comfortable to use in both bright rooms and at night.
The size is a big plus for me. It’s small and light enough to hold comfortably in one hand, whether I’m on the couch or lying in bed. Despite its compact size, the device still retains a substantial number of books with its 16 GB storage, so I don’t feel like I’m constantly having to delete things.
Why I liked buying it at Best Buy:
Best Buy made the whole process really smooth. I appreciated being able to see the device in person before committing, and the in-store pickup was quick and convenient. It’s also reassuring to know that if there were any issues, I could walk into a store and speak with someone face-to-face, rather than dealing with a lengthy online return process. Between the rewards, occasional promos, and reliable customer service, Best Buy felt like the safest place to pick up a new device like this.
Overall, if you want a simple, distraction-free way to read and a device that’s comfortable to hold for long stretches, this Kindle is a great choice.

Amazon Kindle 16gb.
Pros:
incredibly lightweight
Fantastic screen, including brightness
Battery life
Ease of setup and operation
Cons:
Can be a bit laggy at times.
Overall, this kindle is an excellent product especially at the price point. It is very easy to read at any brightness and the setup took 5 minutes. Being able to download books and separate them into your own categories makes choosing your next book a breeze. The only downside I have found is that sometimes going back to your library or going onto the store can be a bit laggy. Nothing crazy but you can see the screen struggle at times. That is the only reason this isn’t a 5 star product.

Great product! Monthly subscription beats paying for books an only reading them once. And yes I love actual books but this is a great way to save! Sturdy and stays charged for almost a month. Nice size so I take it everywhere.

I did not think I was going to be a kindle girl but I absolutely love my kindle! It is compact and fits in my lululemon crossover. I literally take it anywhere and my husband makes fun of me. There is no warm light feature which is the only downside but I personally don’t mind. You can change the font size too?
