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

I've loved using Kindles, ever since I bought the 4th Gen Kindle, over a decade ago.I recently bought another 4th Gen, a few months ago, to have as a backup.I've been using a 10th Gen, White, Basic for a few years and loved it, because it (unlike all of the black models, I've ever seen) didn't show fingerprints, which, tbh, annoy the heck out of me!However, recently, as it's always been in a case, so I can't understand why, it's developed a small "crack" in the frame, to the right of the screen, so I decided that maybe it was time to upgrade.Looking at the colours of the 11th Gen 2022 Models, I liked the "Denim," but was worried that, it too, would be plastered with fingerprints in no time.So, I was pleased when they brought out the Green/Matcha coloured model for 2024, (although I would've preferred a white option) in the hope that it wouldn't show fingerprints as much as the black option.I decided to wait for the Black Friday offers and was disappointed to find, that when they were listed on Thursday, at first, that only the black option was reduced on the Amazon Site (I later found that the Matcha also went down in price, later in the day)But the Matcha was on offer in a High Street Store, so I immediately ordered it and picked it up on the same day.I have to say, that the Set Up process was a breeze.I used the Kindle App on my phone and within minutes, it was all set up.I am particularly pleased, having spent hours, in the past, having organized my Library into "Collections," that all of my collections were transferred to the new device, which was something that I was worried about, but no issues.As to the device itself. It's a delight. I didn't think I'd like the "green" colour, but I absolutely love it.It's very compact and lightweight and a pleasure to hold "naked," and/or in a case.NO fingerprints. The front "bezels" on the device are made of some sort of matt "coarse," almost "roughly" textured plastic, which resists fingerprints and which makes it very secure to hold "naked."The screen is clearer and sharper than previous Kindles.The page turning process is very snappy and the screen, very responsive in all actions.One thing I am particularly pleased with, is that I have never been a fan of the "progress in book" option, which I couldn't disable/turn off (permanently) on my 10th Gen Kindle and whenever I did, I was constantly "reactivating it," accidentally, which I found very annoying.However, although the options are still available and I have it set to "page/percentage" I haven't once managed to "change," the status of the progress by accidentally touching the screen, at the bottom.In fact, I have tried to deliberately change the progress, to find that it takes several taps to do so, which is something I'm not at all unhappy about, so I'm happy to leave it on "page/percentage," rather than trying to turn it off completely.I have also purchased the OEM case for the device, which, although very pricey, fits beautifully, is comfortable to hold and doesn't feel "bulky" unlike the OEM case, I briefly tried on the 10th Gen Kindle.I did try a cheaper case, but, sadly, in spite of being advertised for the 11th Gen 2024 Model was too large for it and had to be returned.There don't seem to be that many options, thus far, for this particular model of KIndle.All in all, I would say that it's my favourite Kindle yet.If you're looking for a good basic e-reader for a reasonable (especially at the moment) price, then I would say, look no further.I can thoroughly recommend this device!😉📚

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!

I was a bit wary of buying this Kindle after reading the poorer reviews, but so glad I went ahead. It synced with my Amazon account literally in seconds and all my books were transferred from my old Kindle onto my new one. It's a lovely colour green and is a lot lighter in weight than my old Kindle 6th generation Paper White. I bought a case for it that fits perfectly and gives it a more robust feeling. The battery holds well and also charges quickly which is a godsend. You will need a USB plug to charge it, though. The charging lead that comes with it is nice and long. It does everything the Kindle Paper White does, and has audible settings to use, but I haven't tried them yet. It is also compact enough to pop into a handbag.The display is clear and the anti glare fantastic even if reading in bright sunshine. All in all, a fabulous product, I'm so glad I bought it!

Why did you choose this product over others?:I LOVE THIS KINDLEIt’s perfect, so light and such a good size. The light and dark modes are great & the backlight works perfect. I have seen people mention the battery died quickly but I keep it on airplane mode at all times. This really saves the battery. I only take it off airplane mode if I need to update it, download or delete a book etc. The size is perfect, it fits in all my bags and even in most pockets. The price is great. This is my favourite kindle ♥️ I’ve actually purchased this as a gift for someone after having mine for a few months as I love it so much. The matcha colour is super pretty!

Got the green kindle and love it. It’s so small which is handy as it’s easily portable and fits in my handbag without talking up any extra space. It’s really easy to set up with the mobile app took me like 5 minutes to connect it up. The feel of the kindle is really great it’s got a matt finish which I absolutely love. Overall the kindle is great as it’s handy when trying to read on the go with the amount of books on it. I would highly recommend.

I bought this to replace a 12 year old kindle and it is a lovely size, weight and colour. I'm really enjoying reading it, and keeping picking it up instead of picking up my phone, which is ideal.I wish there was an option to have your books listed by title and or author rather than them being presented by book cover. Although you can adjust the font and size for the reading experience, there doesn't seem to be a way to adjust the library home screen, so I have to click on the actual books to work out what they are when they don't have a particularly clear book cover. That's not ideal for making it accessible to all. It is also a little slower to turn pages and load books than I expected, but the battery life is good, and it is a nice return to a good, clean ereader without too many gimmicks.
