Kindle
Absolutely love it! I bring it in my purse everywhere I go. It’s the best size for reading, I don’t get lost in words like I normally do with a physical book. It’s amazing to read in the run because there’s no glare on the screen. It’s a reasonable price for an e-reader. 10/10

The absolute perfect gift that everyone in my life completely loves
This Kindle is so loved that I have actually repurchased it multiple times to gift to my sister and again for a friend. The 16 GB capacity provides more than enough storage to keep an entire massive library of books right at your fingertips. The screen is incredibly crisp and easy on the eyes, mimicking real paper beautifully even when you are reading outside under bright sunlight. The battery life is legendary, easily lasting for weeks on a single charge so you never have to worry about packing a charger for a short trip. It is exceptionally lightweight and comfortable to hold with just one hand, making it a perfect daily companion.

The #1 in the market for a reason
I have been a Kindle user for years, I've been buying less and less physical books and more ebooks because of the space physical books take. I got this one recently to replace a paperwhite from about 10 years ago, it has all the premium features that the base models did not have 10 years ago. Clear 300 ppi display, good contrast, backlight, touchscreen, and a good size display. Buying books is super convenient, you can also get free classics from Project Gutenberg or borrow from your local library through the Libby app. My only gripe is that, for some reason, Amazon refuses to bring back the old progress bar, which a lot of people are asking for, but not a deal breaker. Also, If you like having multiple books going at the same time, there's no more convenient way. You'll read a lot of hogwash online about how this thing is limited but, newsflash: it's an ereader, designed to read books, it's not a tablet or a computer or a phone, ok? There are plenty of customization options like font size, dark theme, brightness, as well as tons of convenient features, my favorite is being able to touch a word and instantly get the dictionary definition without leaving the book. If you read regularly, want portability, convenience, comfort, and want to buy books from the comfort of your home and start reading within minutes, you'll love this thing. Recommended without reservations. P.S. Amazon, please listen to the users and bring back the old progress bar.

I really need color!
Love this 6 inch Kindle. It is light, print is crisp, but not small. Press lightly and pages turn quickly. It is compact, so it is easy to take it in your purse or pocket. I can go anywhere with phone in one pocket and kindle in other. Battery came about 50% charged, and i have read about 1 1/2 books already m. Still around 30% charged. I suggest you get the bundle with the kindle. The cover is awesome. My only request is that I would LOVE this kindle in color. I am a painter and live in color!

Love! Super handy.
It’s a cute kindle! I love the color and it works well! On airplane mode the battery lasts a few weeks and it’s smooth functioning. It’s also quite small which I like. I can hold it with one hand.

Size and screen are great 👍 No option for page turn buttons 👎
If this had been available with the integrated page turn buttons? - it’d have earned a 9.5 star rating from me. The 1/2 star short of 10 is due to a glitch I mention later in this review. I’ve owned so many different Kindle models. The fact that I’ve been a dedicated Kindle user for so many years speaks to how much I love them. I’m pretty fixated on having page turn buttons, though. It’s something I think Amazon’s made a mistake in eliminating from their Kindle options line-up. My 1st Kindle, the K2 (which STILL works) had the keyboard, with page turn buttons on both sides. I guess that spoiled me, as any Kindle I’ve tried since, with a touch screen? - I’ve pretty much loathed. Sure.. this one doesn’t have page turn buttons - but there’re clip-on gadgets for that purpose now. They DON’T work as well as the integrated page turn buttons do, but they’re still better than the touch screens, IMO. This one’s nice - small and lightweight, similar in overall size to my Oasis 8th Gen. It has a slightly bigger screen size and not quite as heavy - though neither is REALLY what I’d consider to be heavy. My Oasis 8th Gen model has page turn buttons and a charging cover with a battery - IMO, the BEST Kindle version they’ve ever offered. The screen on this has been better than the most recent Oasis models’ was. That Oasis screen had HORRIBLE problems with image shadowing - it’d carry over residual shadows from the images on the previous screens - eventually over-lapping so much, they’d create solid black bars. I tried that model 3 times - every replacement had the same problem. I finally gave up on it. The screen on this one is similar to the Paperwhites or older Oasis models. I HAVE been having problems with this “sticking” at the end of book chapters, which is rather odd, as it’s not sticking anywhere else throughout a book. Tap the screen over and over - 4,5,6,7 times. It’ll eventually advance, but when it does, it advances the number of times I tapped it while trying to get it “unstuck”. If I only tap it once?, I’ll wait and wait and wait - it won’t move. At first, I blamed it on the page turn gadget I was using, so I disconnected it and tried just using the touchscreen - and the problem continues. I’ve tried adjusting the settings = page refresh, bluetooth, WiFi, airport mode, done a restart, checked for updates, etc - nothing’s fixed it. It’s gotten so annoying, I’m back to using my 8th Gen Oasis. If I can’t figure it out myself, I’ll contact support - after my frustration level goes down a bit…

Love Love Love!!
I absolutely LOVEEEE this kindle!! It has been my favorite purchase of the year, by far! I ordered the match green color and it’s perfect! I do have a case on it in the picture so that’s what the black is around the trim! The storage is amazing, battery life is insane, and I love the dark mode reading feature! Very durable and I love how fast it responds when you flip the page. Totally would recommend, it’s been a game changer for this book girlie!

My love
I'm married to this thing now. I love the design, the color, the portability, the layout of the software, and the battery lasts weeks for me. It also has day and night settings for the screen so you can have the perfect brightness for your habits. I like to read in bed, so the size is very comfortable for me.
