Amazon Kindle (16 GB) – Lightest and most compact Kindle with glare-free display, faster page turns, adjustable front light and long battery life – With Ads – Black

This Kindle is brilliant. The Matcha Green colour is divine, I love it, it’s beautiful. The quality and ease of use is second to none. I’ve had many different kindles and tablets (currently have a Fire Tablet which I use for reading the odd time, but mainly for watching TV in bed), but this Kindle has a quality I’ve not seen in the others before. The screen is clear, the page turning is fast, and storage is perfect: I have just shy of 3000 books on it and I’ve only used a little under 4GB of space. It is lightweight, so so light, honestly it’s like holding air and as always, perfect for sitting reading outdoors without the worry of the glare. Overall, amazing quality for such a great price. I was toggling between this and the Colorsoft, but to be honest I couldn’t justify the big jump in price just to see my book covers in colour (when I have that already on my Fire Tablet). If you just want a Kindle for reading - this is for you!

My old faithful 14 year old kindle had become outdated although I can still read books I had already downloaded but not any new ones . I was delighted that kindle had introduced new colours & the green shade is beautiful & not harsh to look at. Kindle has come a long way since my first purchase & are still the best e reader on the market. Love that it’s lighter in weight & more compact than my old one . Very pleased with my purchase & the different facilities this provides. It was also easy to set up & sync my existing library.

Wish I had purchased a kindle before today. Reading the kindle app on a phone or tablet would always strain my eyes which didn’t make reading enjoyable. Did lots of research, not always convinced with the reviews on Amazon and I didn’t want another abundant device. Finally purchased a cheaper model of the kindle range as still not 100% sure it would make my reading experience better. Wow am I pleased with my purchase, I am now enjoying reading again, no eye strain and able to read in subdued lighting, sunshine etc. I also love audiobooks, which the kindle can play but you need to have Bluetooth speakers to listen. I have paired my Apple AirPods, an echo dot, and JBL clip and all work well. The battery lasts along time only when you are not connected to WiFi, it does drain the battery quite quickly if you keep WiFi connected. So I only use the WiFi when I want to add new books. The books I have are downloaded onto the kindle so I am able to read offline. Perfect that I have a device that is solely for reading, one of my better purchases with no regrets, just wish I had bought one sooner.

I was hesitant to buy this because I'm used to reading physical books. But I decided to give it a try because I was reading ebooks on my phone from time to time as well and I recognised the practicality of not having to carry a physical copy around.This Kindle version is way better than I expected: the screen size is spot on for me, the screen itself kind of gives a feel of paper pages. It's compact and does the job. I can easily transfer my own already downloaded ebooks from my phone/laptop to my kindle, which was my main worry before purchasing it. I'm really happy that I don't have to purchase new copies from the kindle store.The only downside would be its speed - it takes a second to display the next page or to navigate to a different menu, but for a lightweight, battery saving device it's to be expected.The colour is lovely too, and the device and the screen are not fingerprint collectors at all. But I am a bit worried that it's going to get yellow stains from my hands with time, so I might invest in a case.

I got my first Kindle in 2012 when they were very "new". It lasted until now but unfortunately as it was no longer compatible with software updates, etc, I've had to buy a new one. I only use it for reading books, nothing else, so wanted the "simplest" one to operate and this was a very good price. I've downloaded books onto it very easily (the Kindle page talks you through it) and am very satisfied with the reading quality. The only drawback is that it comes with no instructions that a non-technical person can understand . . . however, Google was my friend and everything I needed to find (change font and type size, change orientation, list books in order, etc) was explained there. So for me, who only wants to read books, this is ideal.

My old Kindle must have come out of the Ark. it still worked but it no longer had the ability to download books from the Store as that had become obsolete. I’d been thinking about getting an upgraded model for months but kept putting it off as my original Kindle was still working.I bought the Matcha Green. Yes the Kndle is lightweight (in fact so lightweight you’d hardly know you’re holding it), it’s clear and operated by touch. I thought (mistakenly) that Amazon would have introduced colour to the updated Kindles as the world of technology is now in colour but alas it appears not. Considering the price of the basic Kindle, I do think that it’s a bit overpriced for a black and white piece of kit. Am I returning it - no. I do like it, I’m just a bit disappointed it isn’t in colour, so for that reason I’m only giving it 4⭐️

Brilliant. Light weight, excellent to take with you out and about.Nice to be able to personalise the text in size, text and spacing
