I bought the Amazon Kindle (16 GB) 2024. I had one of the original Kindle Fire HD 7 from 2013. It was wonderful. I needed to buy a new one because I could'nt replace the battery. The new kindle is nothing like my old one. Everything is so different and there was no instruction manual. 238 pages to go thru in the kindle. I have problems going to the next book. I am pushing all over the screen just to get back to home. Also all my books did not transfer correctly.

Hi Petrina,
Thank you for sharing your feedback about the Kindle (16 GB). I understand you're having difficulty finding your library listing, and I can see how frustrating that must be when you're used to the convenience of the Kindle app on your phone.
Here are some tips to help you navigate your library on your Kindle:
From the home screen, tap "Library" at the bottom of the screen to see all your books You can filter your library by tapping "All" at the top and selecting options like "Downloaded," "Books," "Collections," etc. Tap the three dots (menu icon) in the top right corner for additional sorting options like "Recent," "Title," or "Author" If you're looking for a specific book, use the search icon (magnifying glass) at the top of the screen
If you're still having trouble:
Try restarting your Kindle by going to Settings > Device Options > Restart Make sure your Kindle is connected to Wi-Fi and synced with your Amazon account (Settings > Your Account > Sync) Ensure your device has the latest software update (Settings > Device Options > Check for Software Updates)
I understand the Kindle app interface can feel more intuitive since you're familiar with it. The e-reader interface is designed to be distraction-free for reading, but it does take a little getting used to. If you continue to have difficulty after trying these steps, our support team can walk you through the navigation at 1-888-280-4331 or through your Amazon account under "Help & Customer Service."
We appreciate your patience as you get familiar with your new Kindle, and we're here to help make your reading experience better!

Hello WirelessMouse! Thank you so much for your review and feedback on your experience with your Kindle! We appreciate any and all feedback as we are constantly working to improve upon our products and services in order to better serve our customers! Just in case there is any confusion on what books are compatible with your Kindle and the different ways you can get access to them; I wanted to clarify a little. The book formats that are compatible with your Kindle are as follows: AZW, AZW3, MOBI, PDF, EPUB, DOC, and DOCX. You can access any of these through a variety of ways. For any books in this format that you own that are not part of Amazon's bookstore can be sideloaded to your device with a USB-C cord. You can also access a plethora of books through most local public libraries through smartphone apps like Libby. When borrowing books from these apps, there is an option to read it on your Kindle for the duration of your rental period. Lastly, Amazon does have a wide range of books for sale or included for free with a Kindle Unlimited subscription and you are able to use a Bluetooth headset and access audiobooks through Audible on this device as well. I hope this offers up some more choices to you and helps in improving your experience some with your Kindle. Thank you so much for your time and I hope you have an amazing day!

It’s fine, bought for my kid and it has been durable enough so far.
You HAVE to get your titles from Amazon, you can’t put any epubs or anything that you already have.

Hi user426780,
Thank you for sharing your feedback about the Kindle. I'm sorry to hear that when you turned on your device, someone else's account was already signed in—that's completely unacceptable for a product purchased as new and indicates you likely received a returned or refurbished device that wasn't properly reset.
This is a serious issue that shouldn't happen with a new purchase. Here's what I recommend:
Return to Best Buy immediately: Since you purchased this from Best Buy, take the device back to the store for a full refund or exchange. This is clearly not a new device as advertised, and you should not have to deal with someone else's account on your Kindle.
To sign out of the other account (if you decide to keep the device temporarily): Go to Settings > Your Account > Deregister This Device, then sign in with your own Amazon account. However, given the circumstances, I'd still recommend exchanging it for a properly new device.
Your feedback about receiving a pre-registered device is valuable and helps us identify where quality control processes need improvement. This should never happen with a new purchase.
