    • Surprisingly, this is the best kindle for me!!!

Review Image by Arthurian Tapestry Arthurian Tapestry
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

    • By far, my favorite version
Color: Denim Option: With 3 Months Free Kindle Unlimited Offer Type: Without Lockscreen Ads
Quality is excellent and battery lasts much longer. Easy to read outside on sunny days and at night in a dark room. Small and light weight, great for traveling - just place it in your purse. Settings are easy and simple to change and WIFI set up is fast.

    • A device with a single purpose: reading
Color: Black Option: Without Kindle Unlimited Offer Type: Lockscreen Ad-Supported
Everyone has a smartphone these days, so at this point the Kindle is for one very particular audience: people who want to read a lot of books, and read them with a minimum of distractions. With this version, Amazon has refined the Kindle to the point where it's just about ideal for this purpose. I've owned several previous Kindles, including an early Paperwhite, and currently own a couple of iPads, an iPhone, and a MacBook. For the purposes of long, immersive reading sessions, this Kindle is my best option. The battery life is long enough so that even with constant reading you only have to recharge once or twice a week (you can extend that by turning off wireless). The Kindle also has by far the best screen for immersive reading: it's sharp and clear, with many options for different lighting conditions ranging from bright sunlight (Kindles leave tablets in the dust as far as bright-sun reading is concerned) to pitch black (the dark mode format is ideal for this). You can choose whether to read with a vertical orientation or a horizontal one -- and this option of a horizontal orientation allows you (among other things) to read poetry on a Kindle without imposing premature line breaks. This Kindle is also extremely light and easy to hold for hours on end (my iPad mini is too heavy for that). And as with all Kindles, you can adjust the type size and font so that reading is comfortable for you - I love paper books, I really do, but I need bigger type. In a way, though, what's best about this Kindle is what it doesn't have. You can't read your email. You can't go on social media. Amazon's Kindle browser is perpetually "experimental" -- good! I pick up the Kindle when I want to read books, not when I want to lose my afternoon down an internet rabbit hole. That said, you do get just enough of the internet to assist in your reading. From within any book you can look up unfamiliar names/places on Wikipedia, and there's a great built-in dictionary too. (You can download dictionaries for any language you read, and set them as your default in settings). But apart from those features, the internet might as well be on Mars. Fine by me. If I want to look at videos of puppies or lose my temper about politics, I have my phone (and several other machines, unfortunately). When I look at my Kindle, I can feel my blood pressure go down. More to the point, I can hide my phone under a cat and read books for hours and hours. That might not be your idea of an ideal afternoon. If it is, and you know who you are, this Kindle is pretty inexpensive and much lighter and easier to carry than tablets or physical books. It allows you to carry thousands of books around with you and then sit and read them without distractions. It's limited in its other functions - and that's exactly what makes it ideal. As you can probably tell from the above review, I have the patience of a gnat when it comes to content I don't want to see, and for that reason I opted for the ad-free version. This allows me to have the lock screen be the cover of the current book I'm reading, which is extremely endearing. That said, the version with ads does not insert ads into your books; they're not obtrusive in that way. So you can definitely save a few bucks by getting the version with ads - it won't mess with your reading experience. ... show more
