Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was kind of on the fence between getting this and the paperwhite but im so happy I decided to get this model. The battery last forever and the screen resolution is bright enough to comfortably read without any adjustments. I love that they’ve upgraded this model to have usb charging so i dont have to fumble with multiple charging cords. The number one reason i really like this kindle over the others is the size. I take it everywhere and its slim and convenient to store.

I got this for my husband for his second deployment after he gave me his original one from his first deployment because I read so much and he got annoyed with my book light at night. Well I couldn’t give him back his original because the next year he got me a new oasis which I love and I gifted the original paper white to a friend who then got herself a new one later on and then gifted the original to ANOTHER one of our friends so the original had become The Sisterhood of the Traveling Kindle while I got my husband this new one that he is now using during this second deployment which will inevitably end up being my purse kindle.

I got this kindle a month ago and i absolutely love it. so light, so compact and i bring it to school everyday. it’s super convinenient for reading and i have only charged it one time and it’s still on.

It’s small lightweight & easy too read. Zoom in & out feature that allows you to change the size of the font. It’s easy to read even in the dark

A great price, suoer long battery life and easy portability make this purchase a win-win!

I’m really enjoying mi new kindle, I really like that is so easy to carry, light and convenient to take everywhere, the battery last for a whole week or more depending on use, I’m very happy with my purchase

My wife absolutely loves it. She downsized from the Paperwhite and couldn't be happier. Just small enough to be convenient for travel or in her purse to the coffee shop but still easy to ready. She's a little lady with little hands, so if you can relate, you'll love this too!

I wanted a reader without back lighting. This one fits the bill. Had my old Kindle for over 10 years. The new one has more features and a longer lasting battery. I also like to read outside and the grayscale display allows easy reading without glare. The price was great and I noticed it's a bit lighter than the earlier model. Very satisfied with this purchase. - P

This kindle is great! Light weight and the battery lasts for days on end. I would highly recommend this to anyone that loves to read! It is also very durable and take a beating, i travel a lot so i have to stick it in carry on or my checked bags and it can sometimes get banged up but it can handle some roughness.

Small compact battery last for weeks I was ether getting this for the iPad mini I was starting to become overwhelm with books taking up so much space I really don’t mind not really owning the books anyways since I would probably not pick up the same book in years one of my greatest investments and I normally take it with me while traveling for long flights

She is quite a bookworm but can only take so much with her to her dorm. This cuts out all the paperbacks so she has more room for..well everything else. Easy to read, holds a charge, and has plenty of space.

I absolutely love my Kindle & highly recommend it! It is very portable and great to use while in bed! I prefer this size over the larger paperwhite as it is more portable and fits in any purse.

This is the perfect ebook reader. Light easy to hold. It is a basic reader that allows me to find and add titles easily without being bogged down with things I don’t need or want.

The device is so easy to use. The software can upload your files onto the device, just need an Amazon account to connect. The battery lasts such a long time, i had it sitting idle for nearly 2 weeks with a 16% drain. Learning the where to tap on the screen is the hardest part, other than that, easy to use and comfortable with one hand.

Wife absolutely loves this thing! Works perfect, holds a charge for days and fits in her bag without taking up much space. Highly recommend for anyone who likes to read at home or on the go!

eReader is small, compact lightweight. Easy to read in the dark and in daylight.

It's hard to say a bad thing about this device. It's simple and straight forward to use. You buy ebooks off of Amazon and it'll automatically be added to your Kindle library. You can also add documents by either sending files to your Kindle library from your computer or add it directly to your via USB. A 6 inch display may be a deal breaker for some. Depending on what book you're reading you can resize the text so that it is more legible. Despite what I said, you can't go wrong with buying a Paperwhite instead.

This kindle was the perfect gift for my wife. She uses it every day. The battery life on it is amazing as she reads all day and has to charge it once per week. The size is very convenient as it fits in her small back she carries everywhere

I had a paperwhite that I loved but I lost so I was in the market for a new kindle but didnt want to spend a ton of money, this was the cheapest option and I have no complaints! It's super compact and lightweight, the battery lasts a really long time, I use it almost every day and probably only charge it once a week

Does exactly what i needed it too. I wish the software wasn't glitchy in terms of it looks like it's pixelated as it changes. At first I thought it was broke until I looked up a Youtube video and saw thats how it's suppose to be. I bought this item in store but mine as well have bought it online because they didn't even have this model available to look out I wanted to compare the size of the larger kindle to this one. I did set up after to not have the ads at first I thought it was fine until I got annoyed being advertised on a device I own its crazy but I guess its how amazon makes up the money it loses using KU and selling books for cheaper then retai.
