The product is user friendly very easy to use for first time buyers.
I love that the kindle gave me access to so many books and motivated to read a wide range of genres! It definitely has made me start my New Year’s resolution. I genuinely love this product and would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys reading. Did I also mentioned it’s the perfect size to hold and I also convinced my two best friends to purchase one.

Love this e-reader device. It is small but feels sturdy and is great to hold. The contrast is excellent and ready is a joy. This is my secpnd kindle as I already have the 11th gen paperwhite signature but needed something even more portable. This fits my needs and was a great purchase. Highly reccomended.

A Perfect Little Reading Companion

My Kindle Matcha has completely changed the way I read. From the moment I turned it on, it felt like my little reading space. The soft matcha color is so calming and makes picking it up feel special every time—it honestly puts me in the mood to read.
I love how easy it is on my eyes, especially during long reading sessions or late at night. I can get lost in a book without distractions, notifications, or eye strain. It’s lightweight, so I can hold it comfortably for a long time, whether I’m curled up in bed, on the couch, or reading on the go.
The battery life is incredible, which means I never have to think about charging—it’s just always ready when I want to read. Buying it from Best Buy was smooth and stress-free, and it arrived exactly as expected.
This Kindle has made reading feel more intentional and relaxing for me. It’s become part of my daily routine, and I genuinely look forward to using it. I couldn’t recommend it more to anyone who loves getting lost in books.

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.

My Lil Matcha

I had a Sony Reader which just stopped working after at least 10-15 years. This is my first kindle, and all the issues frustrating me are probably user error. But internet suggestions do not correspond to actual device options so I’m not loving this little matcha like I hoped.
I can change text size for settings screen but not reading book text. What!?! Only change margins. Pinching will zoom but then I can’t see to the edges of page. There MuST be a font setting option I’m missing. The writing is REALLY small. Or maybe if I was reading anything other than epub I’d have more text options. Will try that after I finish current epub book.
And when I follow instructions online to pay to remove “special offers” (unwanted ads), the option isn’t where it’s said to be. Sigh. This is aggravating. I want a chosen screen saver, which also doesn’t seem to be an option.
There was a definite learning curve to moving my purchased epub and app saved books to kindle thru individual apps like kobo etc (didnt realize I’d have to restart device) but really nice to have all books in a single location.
Tiny matcha is beautiful color, great size for my little hands (see pics for size references - thinner than a pen and a cm wider in reading area than a credit card), and the only kindle with a non-black front which was the main reason (with size seond) I bought it instead of a popular paperwhite. Turning pages is easy. I read through sunset and didn’t realize it. Reading in the dark was really easy on the eyes. My old Sony ereader required a separate reading light and my iphone strained my eyes causing headaches. To be fair, sometimes I’m reading for 12 hours straight.
I wish there was an audiobook sound option. I may go that direction on my next upgrade just to keep all books in one place rather than needing to use kindle app on phone. But that’s not a huge inconvenience. I love love love the interface in libby! Easy transfer to my matcha. Wish I could access libby from kindle app tho.
Green is adorably girlie which I love. Found a COBAK sage cover with holding strap, stand, and folding cover that initiates standby mode. Despite the different color name (there’s a matcha color choice which does NOT match), it’s a solid color match. Not exact but easily not noticable due to texture difference - and I am highly bothered by “near” matches usually.
I feel confident that I’m going to learn the settings on my lil matcha and fall in love. But it’s not love at first sight.

Brand response from Amazon Devices Customer Support

Dear ScubaStev3,
Thank you for such a detailed and thoughtful review of your "Lil Matcha" Kindle! Let's help address some of your concerns:
For text size: Try tapping the top of the screen while reading to access the 'Aa' menu - this should give you font size options, not just marginsins. This works for most file formats, though epub compatibility may vary.
Regarding "Special Offers": You can remove these through your Amazon account settings online, rather than on the device itself. We can guide you through this process.
Your observations about the physical attributes (size, color, readability) are particularly helpful for other customers. We especially appreciate your detailed size comparisons and the extended reading comfort you've experienced.
For future reference, if you're interested in audiobooks, the Paperwhite and Oasis models do support Audible integration. However, we understand that the matcha color and compact size were key factors in your choice.
Please contact our support team at 1 888-280-4331 for help with the text size settings - we want to ensure you fully fall in love with your device!

Perfect handheld reader. Great for keeping on myself in my purse or diaper bag so I almost always have it. Can go 2 weeks without charging. Books load very quickly and i love the green color.

I always thought I was a physical book gal… nope! Not anymore! I LOVE THIS THING!!! I will say that sometimes it is hard to remember the title of the book I’m reading because you don’t have to look at it every time you want to read it, but that doesn’t matter much. Anyway, totally worth it and highly recommended!

I am absolutely obsessed with this kindle! It is the perfect size and very light to bring anywhere. I bring mine to my work on overnights mostly and have had no issues with it at all. There are several different fonts and lighting settings as well, which is really nice. I highly recommend this to any readers!

I love it so much, I used this for school! Download all these files I have to study and into my kindle! I know I know I too have an iPad and iPhone but having a kindle is simple, easy to carry and it’s not distracting me where I end up on social media! Having the kindle or e reader makes me stay focused!

The best kindle for beginner readers. I’ve had mine for almost a year and I’ve read more than I have in the past couple of years. It’s portable, durable and you can read offline as well. You can adjust the fonts and everything! Such a pretty color as well!

I love my Kindle. I was worried that because it’s an electronic device I wouldn’t enjoy it as much as reading a physical book, but I actually read even more now. It’s easy on the eyes, even after a long day of work. I love having multiple books with me in one place. It’s super lightweight and comfortable to use. The font size can be adjusted, which makes it comfortable for any age. I loved it so much that I immediately bought one for my mom, and she loves it too, especially the larger font option.

I really enjoy how this is made for reading in the dark. The battery last a long while and its enough to use. I do wish for nearly $100 it had more gigabyte space and the user menu is a little slow but it’s workable.
