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

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! 😉📚

Lovely little dinky thing. Small but very convenient for travelling. It works like any other Kindle. I got the Matcha colour for a change. Very happy with it. Battery life - you’d have to read only a little a day for it to last “months” unquote. It arrived with 56% battery but in 2 days I’ve got it down to 17%. Easy to set up, most already done on arrival if you already have a Kindle account. It comes with a charging cable. Very light to hold and the screen is of a reasonable size to negotiate. Really like it. Only comment is that there are far too many different sizes available and I find getting the correct case a bit of a nightmare. I am writing down the model, year and serial number elsewhere as you cannot read the back of it. But that doesn’t detract from it’s convenience.

Absolutely brilliant, jailbreaked mine and got rid of amazon on it and it works so well now. Nearly 1k books all for free. It is really cheap for what you get and it comes with USB C which is perfect for nearly everyone. Its quite small at around a hands size. Buy this if you want to read on a beach or anywhere else without worrying too much about it being broken. Its incredibly light compared to my old 3rd gen kindle and even my kobo. It comes with wifi and bluetooth and can do some basic web browsing and looking at news.

I was really hesitant if I wanted a Kindle or to carry on reading hardcopies however I have not looked back since buying it is so lightweight and am able to read anywhere on any time it is easy to hold but it’s smaller than I thought it would be however this isn’t an issue. The screen is of okay quality however sometimes I can’t see the page previous on the current page. I have to turn the Kindle off on standby mode and on again to rectify this issue having spoken to somebody who has the same Kindle as me. This seems to be a common issue so keep this in mind. One feature that I love about this Kindle is that you can read indirect sunlight and it does not affect the brightness or a shine on the screen. I cannot wait to read this outside in the summer or on holiday. I have the green Kindle and it is the most stunning colour. It is pretty durable. I have dropped the Kindle a couple of times and there is not a scratch or a dent on it. The only downside of the Kindle is that you have to pay to remove the ads which is a bit of a shame when you buy the Kindle at a quite expensive price and buy Kindle unlimited at £12 a month.

I've been using my new lightweight Amazon Kindle, 16GB (green) for three months. I like the size and slimness of this model. The weight in your hand while reading is very comfortable. As I read every day, all day, this feature is important to me. The photos attached show my old(white) Amazon Kindle, which was chunky & heavy to hold in comparison to the newer version. I like the quality & the lightweight feel of this new model. A clear, precise touchscreen screen with choice of light/dark screen. Also faster page turning & longer battery life. With a price of £94.99 with an option of paying over 5 months, interest free is exceptional is great value for month. This little gem of a Kindle ticks all the boxes for me and travels with me everywhere! I give 4 stars, as I have not having fully explored this new model. I would recommend this paperwhite kindle.

Kindle Basic. This kindle is brilliant, and a good size an very light in weight. Would highly recommen. I find a kindle easier for reading as you can change font size an have a backligh.

Brought this to upgrade from my 7th gen kindle I love the back light on the screen so I don’t have to leave my lamp on every night while I’m reading hold even more books than my last kindle totally worth every penny also love the dark mode as it’s so much easier for my eyes and for me to read. I love that I can adjust the brightness wherever I am. Can easily fit it in to the palm of my hand downloaded my books so quickly and so easy to use and set up already had it for 2 days and I’m loving my reading experience even more now

Love love love my kindle! Best thing I’ve bought for my holidays and going away. So easy to take anywhere! Battery life is great I barely need to charge it. Screen quality is great I love the night time setting too, really helps me sleep. Great product would recommend this to anyone who loves reading it’s so much neater than having loads of books.
