    Holds more but harder to read when selecting a book. The whole picture is difficult to read. Just listing author and title instead of showing a picture of the dust jacket would be faster and more efficient.

    A little hard to set up when not tech savvy. Don’t like that my old case which looks like new doesn’t fit and need a new one.

    Step up from the last couple of kindles I have had, but ended up exchanging it for the newest 2021 version because it has the “warm” light feature.

    It's very comfortable to hold and the non-reflective surface is great - no glare. I was able to buy it on sale.
