Kindle 16 GB (newest model) - Lightest and most compact Kindle, now with faster page turns, and higher contrast ratio, for an enhanced reading experience - Black

I've been trying to read books again for the last couple of years without much success. In 2025 (and probably 2024), I never finished a single book that I started. That includes self-help, college textbooks, and friend's books! Fumbling with books, turning pages, trying to remember to carry it with me, all of that made it difficult for a working adult with a family to sit down and read, even for a few minutes. Not to mention my arthritis, needing to wear reading glasses, needing a light just bright enough to make out the words, and more. I ordered this Kindle on New Years Day and fully expected to get bored of it in a week and want to get my money back. I downloaded my first book (Included in KindleUnlimited), by an author I never heard of (even though she's critically acclaimed and has had books turned into movies) and started reading. I was INCREDIBLY SURPRISED how easy it was to read on this thing. It's MUCH better than a physical book, by leaps and bounds. I started reading the book on Monday and finished it by Thursday. I can't wait to start my next book! The book was good... and that kept me interested, however... a few things about the kindle made it easy to finish the book so quickly... 1) Mainly, it was how easy on the eyes and the size of the text. I didn't need my reading glasses at all and the text was clearer than any book I've opened in the last few years. 2) It's lightweight and fits in my pocket! I like to (try to) read books of all different shapes and sizes; from large hard back to small and thin paperbacks. It doesn't matter the author's preferred format, this kindle puts them all in my pocket with ease! Plus, one-hand reading is easy, I don't have to "hold back" the other pages while fumbling from page to page. 3) The feel of the screen is smooth and it's easy to turn pages with the same hand I'm holding it in, but even better with a quick swipe of my other hand. 4) It's just the right amount of brightness with the backlight. I can read it without the backlight sometimes, but I prefer the backlight already and my eyes don't strain. It does drain the battery much faster, but I believe I could finish an entire book without having to charge it at all. Overall, this thing is amazing and I look forward to expanding my mind and READING on my spare time instead of playing mind-numbing games on my phone. I do love my card and board games, but they might have to take a backseat. Both my phone and this kindle fit in my pocket easily so if I want to take a break from reading spades and backgammon are always available...

I love the size and color of this Kindle. It’s my first Kindle. The battery has a good charge to it. I can read for longer periods and only need to charge it a couple times a week. I love the screen quality and the feel of the screen. I have it in a case and it just floats around in my purse, so it’s pretty durable. I love that I can store all the books I can buy in one place and it always stays the same weight, I know that’s stupid. But books weigh a lot and take up quite a bit of room. You can rent books with your library apps. The light for reading in dark environments is great. I love the color. A little pop of color is an easy to make me smile. You will love this Kindle though all your reading adventures. There is also a reading rewards program where you can get $3 off your next purchase. Great recommendations. Don’t hesitate, you will love this device.

I love it! Good size while being small enough to take everywhere and comfy to hold and big enough to read easily on it. The ability to change brightness and switch between dark and light mode is great for night vs day reading. Its ease enough to use and worth the cost I paid. It is super sturdy. I say this after having it for a while and knowing my toddlers have messed with it and dropped it a few times.

You can’t tell me nothing—I absolutely love my little Kindle 😍 It’s so cute, and I’ve completely decked it out from head to toe. The size is absolutely perfect. I take it everywhere with me, it fits right in my purse, and it’s so lightweight that I barely notice it’s there. Functionality-wise, this Kindle delivers. The screen is clear and easy on the eyes, the adjustable light makes reading comfortable in any setting, and the page turns are fast and smooth. I love having a completely distraction-free reading experience—no notifications, no scrolling, just books. The battery life is impressive too. I can read for weeks without worrying about charging, and the storage holds more books than I could ever read at once. For such a compact device, it does everything I need and more. Great quality, amazing portability, and absolutely worth the investment. If you want a travel-friendly Kindle you can take anywhere, this is the one. 💕📚

I love KINDLE. I have purchased 2 now from Amazon. This one was a gift for a friend. I use mine daily, and think the monthly subscription is very affordable. The readability is great. The brightness is adjustable with the benefit of day or night features. The feel is light weight, and the speed is great. It’s easy to connect to wireless, and other apps like Goodreads to track your reading goals, books read etc. I love my kindle!

I love this kindle, i love to read and this is the way to go. I love how there are thousands of books the read. It is very compact and easy to use, amazing for on the go, road trips and vacations. It is rechargeable! The download speed is very quick. It feels very comfortable on the hand like if it was a small book. And it's type c which is a plus. Some features: It has adjustable brightness which is perfect for any time of day. You can connect it to wifi. Aswell as you can connect your Bluetooth headphones to it, if you like audiobooks. I love how it has a dark mode feature. It has adjustable settings l, aswell as you can sync it. And it is very durable for how small and compact it is. The only things I don't like is that it only has 16 gb, I wish it had more, and the other thing is that I don't like how the screen still shows words and a couple books when the screen is off. Other than that I love this I recommend it if you like reading and going to trips etc
