I cannot say enough great things about this Amazon Kindle! It’s lightweight, compact, and incredibly comfortable to hold for long reading sessions. The adjustable front light makes it perfect for reading in any lighting condition, whether I’m outside in the sun or reading in bed at night. The battery life is unbelievable—I go weeks without needing to charge it, even though I use it every single day. With 16GB of storage, I can carry my entire library with me wherever I go. No more lugging around heavy books! The screen is crisp and easy on the eyes, making it feel just like reading a real page. If you love reading, this Kindle is an absolute game-changer. It’s perfect for travel, commuting, or just relaxing at home. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an amazing e-reader! 📖✨ ... show more

    • Maybe my favorite Kindle yet! (And I’ve owned a bunch)
Color: Black Option: Without Kindle Unlimited Offer Type: Without Lockscreen Ads
I’ve been buying Kindles ever since the second model came out way back in 2009 or so. The Kindle is a marvelous invention that got me reading again and reading 3-4 times as much as I ever did with paper books. I have no romantic notions about paper and glue anymore. I’d go as far as saying the Kindle is arguably the most underrated invention of the early 21st century. But you’re here for the review, so… As for why I like THIS Kindle so much, well, I love the fact that all of the most important features have finally trickled down to the base model. I can afford to buy any Kindle I want and I usually buy one of the middle or high-end Kindles. This one was actually replacing an older Paperwhite, but I wanted to give the base model a try since it checked all the right boxes, aside from color temperature adjustment. The fact that all the best features are present on the base model now makes me feel better about Kindles and Amazon in general honestly. My first Kindle was $399, so I love the fact that this one is so affordable and within reach of a lot more people now. This Kindle also gets the fastest SoC (microprocessor) that the newest Kindles have. That means it’s as fast, or faster than any of the Kindle models. It’s finally got a generous amount of memory for anyone with anything but the biggest book collection. I’ll never fill it up I’m sure. It’s even got the higher dpi (resolution) Paperwhite screen now, so you’re no longer penalized with pixelated fonts or less contrast for buying the entry-level model and I LOVE that. One of my favorite features, though, is that it’s super small and light, which I really love. It’s the smallest, lightest, most pocketable Kindle there’s ever been. That’s a nice feature that makes you more likely to take it with you everywhere. The only things you’re really giving up versus a Paperwhite that I know of are the extra LEDs (I don’t miss them a bit, backlighting is more than enough) and the warmer color backlighting option (nice to have, but I can definitely live without it). This model also has a bit less battery life than the Paperwhite (maybe 15-20% less?) But it’s still a Kindle, which means it will last longer than any other device you own. I doubt the battery life will be a complaint from many. The final feature it’s missing is actually a PLUS to me. It’s the fact that the screen is recessed. I actually prefer that (I can’t be the only one). I like being able to tell by touch precisely where the screen begins. It makes it easier to avoid touching the screen accidentally and I just think it looks better to be honest. The only feature I WISH it had is PAGE TURN BUTTONS. I have no idea WHY Amazon has limited them to only the Oasis models. Other eInk book manufacturers like Kobo managed to find a way to include page turn buttons on nearly every model. Come on, Amazon. I had been planning on buying an Oasis for several years, specifically to get the page turn buttons. But I simply got tired of WAITING for Amazon to make an Oasis with USB-C charging already and update the hardware to match the newer models. I finally gave up on waiting for a USB-C Oasis after I read rave reviews of the new base model and Prime Day rolled around with a price drop on it. I’m super satisfied with it though. Lack of buttons aside, I think it’s my favorite Kindle yet due to the exceptional value, ultra-pocketable size and feature set. This model has everything I think most people really need and want in a Kindle at a very fair price (especially when you buy it during Prime Days like I did!). I also really appreciate the opportunity to buy a Kindle in a color other than black or white for a change. The Denim Blue is cool and different and that’s a feature you cannot get in ANY other Kindle model. Amazon should consider making a few more color choices here and there. I guarantee it would juice up sales. If they just added some sturdy page turn buttons to this, a physical switch to disable the touch screen, the “warm” backlighting option and gave it a bigger battery that’s designed to be easily replaced, it would be the PERFECT Kindle for me. That and I wish Amazon would give us greater control over our Home Screen. I just want a simple list of folders or my collections. I don’t want to see “suggestions” or any eye candy marketing fluff. Minor complaint though. All-in-all I think when you take price into consideration, this is the BEST KINDLE Amazon has ever made, hands down. ... show more

    • Surprisingly, this is the best kindle for me!!!
Color: Black Option: Without Kindle Unlimited Offer Type: Lockscreen Ad-Supported

Just when the trend is going to bigger screens like the kindle scribe, I find myself leaning towards portability. In short, being able to carry my library literally in my pocket. I’ve had several iterations of the e-ink kindles over the years, my least favorite being the popular paperwhite with which I’ve always encountered quality control issues and have always duly returned. My favorite e-ink device for years was the kindle touch 4rth generation which looked better than any of the paperwhites I’ve ever come across with a rich text that made it pleasant to read, even though it has only 167 ppi. The Voyage with increased ppi replaced this, and I must confess that this had the best and richest contrast of a screen I’ve experienced ever. The Voyage truly makes look the paperwhites and some of the Oasis’ (not all) look blurry in comparison. But with kindle basic, the richness of the text pops out from the screen and is a joy to hold, feeling even lighter and more portable than the Voyage. I hope amazon always keeps these nice smaller and lighter units, even if the device has to sacrifice the page turn buttons to do so. I chose the denim, and truly love it. This reader seems to capture the best features of my previous kindles in terms of screen quality and size and portability. I suspect that the rich screen contrast of this basic kindle is due in no small part to the lack of the waterproofing which adds another layer between the eye and the text (from what I have gathered in the forums). Also, there is less lighting on this kindle. Personally, I would not have minded if they had done away built in light altogether and made a lighted case like they did with kindle touch. I did a comparison of the kindle touch with lighted cover alongside this kindle and the oasis with the warm light, and the kindle touch beat them all with maintaining clarity and crispness of of text. I don’t use the light much on the kindle, as I never seem to get the setting where I enjoy the clarity of the text. Using a reading light, like the ones you clip on a book, are much better imo. Thus, I don’t miss the warm light of the Oasis. Suggestions to improve this kindle: Add the animated page turns, maybe a way to vertically scroll on the pages. I would also love a kindle home button like the kindle touch. But that’s it really. Sidenote: In regard to waterproofing. Over the years, I’ve taken my non waterproof Voyage everywhere from beaches to swimming pools, and never experienced trouble, so if waterproofing really takes away from the quality of the screen, let the Oasis or paperwhite keep that market. Additional sidenote: the kindle covers to this unit are reasonably priced and the blue cover matches the denim unit perfectly. This kindle as a basic has just about everything I could wish for, namely in size and portability and clarity and contrast of text. ... show more
