  • My first kindle and LOVE IT!
Color: Black Option: Without Kindle Unlimited Offer Type: Lockscreen Ad-Supported
I finally got on the bandwagon and got my first kindle...and LOVE IT!! I wanted to go with something smaller so it was easy to travel with. I am able to keep it in my purse and use throughout the day. The battery life is amazing and rarely charge it for the amount of time I spend on it. It does take some time to learn how to use it as it is not app based like the bigger kindles, once you get the hang of it...it is easy to use. Just make sure you cancel the audible and unlimited kindle prior to the trial period ending or you will be charged. I am able to find books through my local library for no cost which is a nice benefit and a saved trip to the library! I definitely read more now than I have in the last several years as it is compact, easy to use, and long lasting battery. Worth the price! ... show more

  • So much better than print
Color: Denim Option: Without Kindle Unlimited Offer Type: Lockscreen Ad-Supported
If you’re considering this, and reading this review, you’re probably considering your first foray into Kindle reading. Good choice. A few things to note about this. The ads are not pop ups. I know some dead tree fans would have you believe, right in the middle of a tense scene, an ad will interrupt the page. That’s not how this works. What happens is, when you put the device in sleep mode, rather than say the cover or the portrait of a famous author, you see an ad. If you use the physical cover to turn on and off the device, you won’t see much if any of the ads. And yes, you can dog ear a page. I have no idea why memes keep popping up to say you can’t. Actually, the things you can do with a print book that you can’t with a Kindle book are: Donate them to the library if the library starts taking books again, give used copies to a friend, sell used copies, have a bookmark accidentally fall out, and use them for, well, kindling. Kindle can do everything else. Things you can do on a Kindle and not a print book are: read in the dark, search for text, carry dozens of books in your pocket, create notes of virtually unlimited size (you run out of room in the margin of a print book), pick up a new book nearly anywhere, anytime, and instantly convert your entire library to large print. Most library systems can send any borrowed e-book directly to your Kindle. And your place and notes are stored in case you borrow the book again or buy a copy. You don’t get that with print. Amazon recently improved their send to Kindle features with a drag and drop web page that makes moving your own documents to the device extremely simple. This comes with a USB-C cable, but not a charger (aka wall wort) so if you don’t have one lying around (I think the expectation is most of us do) you will need to pick one up. 16 gig might not sound like a lot, but most books fall under 2K. I’ve seen public libraries (I’m looking at you, Florida) with fewer books than this can hold. Audible eats the memory a bit more, but I find this to be more than enough. You don’t get cellular connectivity with this, but that’s only with the premium Oasis line now. Scribe even missed out on that. I find it convenient, but I understand wifi is ubiquitous enough these days it’s not a big deal for most users. I have an annoying habit of finishing a book on the crosstown bus, then needing the next in the series. Yes, the cell phone tether works. No, that’s not as convenient as built-in cellular. It has fewer LEDs than most, but that’s not a big deal. Four lets you read in the dark. The scribe has 35. Guys, it’s an e-reader, not a disco, no one needs that many separate lights on that small a device. The absence of a warm light and auto adjusting lights are a bigger issue here. The warm light makes a big difference when you’re reading before bed. It doesn’t have the waterproofing, which I thought was a bigger deal when that first came out, but in all the time since I’ve yet to (knock wood) get a Kindle wet. It’s a nice to have, not a have to have. The size can throw people at first. The screen approximates two things – an index card turned portrait and a mass market paperback page. The occasional “ghosting” mirrors the see-through element of the cheaper mass market paperbacks, except on the device it refreshes quickly, and the ghosting goes away. There were some studies done that suggest memory is improved from reading from print rather than e-book. I want to point out a few issues and cite my own experience. First, all the studies I could find cite pop ups and other distractions as the primary issue. That is, the test is on a general-purpose tablet, not a single purpose e-reader. When they either do a study on an actual e-reader or compare with pop ups on the tablet vs someone coming over just as often and tossing brochures on their print book I’ll believe it. Unless all factors are equal, the study is inherently flawed. To my experience, my ability to absorb and either use the information (if it’s non-fiction) or retain it over time (if it’s fiction) is nearly identical in both, with the slight advantage of the e-book being able to search back in the text for prior information. It drives me nuts when a quote resurfaces in a print book, and I can’t find the prior mention again. Or when I need to find a code snippet in a shelf full of computer books rather than just search on device and have it in seconds. So, if you’re comfortable with the mass market paperback format, the size, the quality, then this is a huge step up. If you want to lay your hands on information quickly, then this is a huge step up. If you want portability, then this is a huge step up. I just had to help an elderly woman move into assisted living and the loss of space cost her nearly all of her much-loved library. I find it comforting that nearly all of mine fits in my purse. No more culling the library for space, then finding you need to buy a new copy. If you delete an e-book from your Kindle, you can download it again for free. I remember, in the dark days before the Kindle was invented, being stuck on a flight from Arizona to New York with nothing to read but the most misogynistic, worst written mystery novel I’d ever encountered. If I had a Kindle, I’d have had at least a dozen better choices at hand, not to mention rereads. The downside here is twofold. First, Dune and The Great Gatsby look the same size on the reader, so it’s hard to eyeball that one is a super-fast read and the other a meaty novel. It’s also a little too easy to build up a massive TBR pile, given it takes no physical space, the device memory is ample, and Amazon keeps offering free books to Prime members every month, sometimes more than one, and a crazy number of deeply discounted books Prime or not. If you are concerned about the environment, then this is a matter of economics of scale. On the last study I checked, the magic number was 20. At 20 books the manufacture and transport impact of the e-reader ties the impact of manufacturing and transporting print books. At 21 and beyond, the e-reader has almost no further impact as compared to the printing and transporting of physical books. E-readers have boasted substantial improvements in reducing their carbon footprint since that study, but I can find no more recent information. Even at 20, the worst number, it’s clear that e-readers are a pure win for the environment. It’s a great device. If you want to go with this one as the entry level, you won’t be disappointed. ... show more

  • Revised review - My opinion of it is vastly improved
Color: Denim Option: Without Kindle Unlimited Offer Type: Lockscreen Ad-Supported
Now that I've had it for more than a month, I've come to like it much more. Here's why: The set up with Amazon was flawless and very fast and easy. My whole library showed up with no problems. It is super lightweight and I was able to purchase a really nice cover at a much cheaper price (<$10) than the cover for my previous Oasis. I like the Dark Mode for night time reading better than the nighttime screen on my previous Oasis. I find I don't miss the page turner button at all now. And now that I've gotten used to turning pages, there is no problem with multiple pages or skipping ahead. There are plenty of fonts to choose from. Unlike the battery life in my old Oasis, which I had to charge almost daily, this one really last for a week or more on a single charge and I read a lot every day. (I do keep the airplane mode on and the wifi off to preserve battery life, except when I'm downloading a new book.) In fact, I'll never purchase another Oasis for nearly $300 when this basic Kindle for a little over $100 is just as good. So I'm bumping my rating from a 3 to a 5. I do still think Amazon should make the battery accessible for replacement; not doing so makes their climate pledge hypocritical, and the fact that the battery on previous models was replaceable, but is not now, and they pretty much keep this a secret is typically nefarious. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ My original review after receiving it in Sept 2023 was "Pretty Good - meh" Rating: 3 1. The battery life is certainly much improved over previous models/generations. I read a lot and don't have to recharge for a week or two. With my previous Oasis 10th generation, had to charge daily. 2. All features are adequate. 3. When turning p ages, it sometimes turns more than one page; not always. 4. Amazon's "Climate Pledge Friendly Products with trusted sustainability certification" is a joke. All the Kindles currently available have been designed so that the back cannot be removed to replace the battery when the time comes that it can no longer hold a charge. Earlier versions had back designed to be removed and batteries were available from 3rd party vendors to extend the life of the device. But no more. Now that would have been climate friendly. But instead, Amazon has built in obsolescence by making battery replacement impossible. No, Amazon can't even replace them, nor can a repair shop. So since the max life expectancy of a battery is up to 3 years, I will be buying the cheapest kindle available; no more Oasis models for me. It seems awful greedy of Amazon to make this change wee we will all have to purchases a new Kindle every few years rather than just replace a battery. ... show more
