Perfect for On-the-Go Reading
The Amazon Kindle is the ultimate e-reader for anyone who loves reading on the go. It’s incredibly lightweight and compact, making it easy to carry in my bag or even a large pocket. The glare-free display is perfect for reading outdoors in the sun, and the adjustable front light ensures I can read comfortably in any lighting, day or night.Page turns are fast and seamless, so thereâs no lag while flipping through pages. The 16 GB storage offers plenty of space for thousands of books, which is great if you like to keep a variety of reading material available. Battery life is exceptional tooâI’ve gone weeks without needing to charge it, even with frequent use.One small downside is that while the Kindle is great for reading e-books, it doesnât support other types of media, like PDFs or audiobooks, as well as some other devices do. But for pure reading, itâs perfect.Overall, this Kindle is an excellent choice for those who want a lightweight, portable, and user-friendly e-reader. Itâs perfect for anyone who reads a lot and wants a dedicated device for the best reading experience.

NO MORE SWIPE SCREEN TO OPEN!!! YEAð My 5th kindle and the best.
This is my 5th Kindle and I love it. I had the original scroll wheel Kindle, then the 1st gen Kindle Touch, the 1st gen Paperwhite, the10th gen Paperwhite, and now the 11th gen basic Kindle with no locked screen ads. I grew to hate the ads with their stupid blurbs. Never had an ad that appealed to me or led to a book purchase. Plus, I always considered swiping to open the Kindle to a stupid waste of time. It is there to keep the ad in your face a little longer. The Kindle Touch had ads on its locked screen, but there was no swipe to open, it went straight to where I had left off just like my new Kindle.Now this new Kindle with no ads opens instantly to the last page read in the book. When it is turned off the screen shows wonderful images: fountain pen caps, dip pen and ink bottle, pencil points, etc. Very artistic. The screen size is identical to my 11th gen Paperwhite., the body a lot thinner, a little narrower and a little taller. And lighter. This basic Kindle has a tiny bezel. I made touching mistakes with the totally flat Paperwhite bezel when a finger would wonder onto the screen. Almost the whole surface of the case has a lovely satin finish. The “Kindle” name on the front is shiny and the Amazon Arrow on the back is recessed and shiny. I made the mistake of ordering the fabric case after I had ordered the Kindle, and it came 5 days later. I did. not take it anywhere until the case came. I consider the case to be necessary to protect the Kindle when carrying around and it reduces the tendency to slide off surfaces. Also keeps the screen cleaner. Love this fabric case.My mistake with my first Kindle Paperwhite was buying a cheap case to save money. It was imitation leather and a good case until the cheap leatherette surface started flaking off. The cover also warped over time, though that was more cosmetic than a problem. By the time I wanted a new case, Amazon had none to fit it anymore. I learned my lesson and bought Amazon’s fabric case with my second Paperwhite and with this new Kindle. The first fabric case looks as good after 4 years of heavy use as it did new.While this Kindle is very lightweight, it has no “cheap” feeling at all. Thinner than all the others. Turning on, downloading. books, searching, opening the dictionary are all much faster than the 11th Paperwhite ever was (it seems to have gotten slower and very quirky this past year. A number of times when I opened the dictionary it froze requiring a restart. Other times it froze and had to be restarted).Not being waterproof is not a problem as I don’t read in the rain, near pools, nor the surf. The slight step up from the screen to the bezel does not prevent me from using my remote page turner. The new Kindle came with the battery charged to 50% and lasted most of a week before it dropped to 30%. I charged it to 73% some days ago and, after heavy use it is only down to 69%. I keep the backlight at level 1, which is sufficient for reading in the dark. I have never had any need to have the backlight higher than level 4 on my 2 Paperwhite Kindles used heavily over the past 12 years. Unlike my other Kindles I have kept this one connected to WiFi all the time.I recommend this Kindle for anyone who wants a conveniently portable Kindle that fits in coat pockets and takes up little room in a purse or bag. Buying it at the start of Amazon’s Black Friday sale saved me the price difference of not irritating lock screen ads. PLUS I DON’T HAVE TO SWIPE TO OPEN ANY MORE!! Thank you Amazon for having this Kindle eBook reader.

Most useful Kindle for all seasons…
I have owned Kindle’s since 2015… Three Paperwhites, and the “Basic” (in Matcha.) I balked on the Colorsoft, and I am glad I did given all the negative reviews. I had previously purchased a Kobo Clara Color, and found the screen dark and grainy. I like reading without front light, and color screens do not allow this, so I returned it (Color just isn’t there yet.) ANYWAY, with that said, I love the basic! It is my most used Kindle (I also own the new PaperWhite Signature, and only use it for bedtime reading.) This Matcha Basic is small & portable, and as such, I am reading far more than I ever had in the past. It is on my person at all times. This is not an “entry kindle” as many people say. This is THE Kindle. Good quality, simple and reliable. If you want to read more, this is your thing. The matcha color is a great addition. Love it.
