Frequently Asked Questions
1. How is the screen on a Kindle different from a tablet?
Our Kindle devices are designed so you can read comfortably for hours. Kindle has a unique black and white glare-free display that reads like paper even in bright sunlight and enables weeks of battery life. With the display’s distinctive nature, slight shadows of previous text or images can sometimes remain visible on the screen. The display quickly refreshes occasionally to remove these shadows and ensure a high-quality optical experience.
2. Do I need to be a Kindle Unlimited member to read on a Kindle?
No. You do not need a Kindle Unlimited membership to read on a Kindle. All Kindle devices come with instant access to the world’s best eBook store. Kindle Stores worldwide offer millions of titles, including the latest best sellers.
3. How do I setup this Kindle?
You have the option to set up Kindle on the device following its on-screen instructions or with your Kindle app on your phone. When setting up using the phone, just open the Kindle app and enable Simple Setup in settings before you power on your Kindle. If you opted in to link Kindle to your Amazon account for simplified setup at purchase, it will already be registered to you.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2025Color: MatchaOption: Without Kindle UnlimitedOffer Type: Lockscreen Ad-SupportedVerified PurchaseAs a Kindle girlie who can’t get enough of romance novels, I got this 16 GB newest-model Kindle as a second device, and it’s perfect. It’s light and compact, easy to hold for hours of reading, and the faster page turns make flipping through my favorite love stories so smooth.
The screen is easy on the eyes, even in low light, and the battery lasts forever — perfect for sneaking in a few chapters at night or on the go. With 16 GB of storage, I can carry all my romance novels wherever I go without worrying about space.
Overall, it’s sleek, portable, and ideal for anyone who loves getting lost in a good romance. I couldn’t be happier!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2025Color: MatchaOption: Without Kindle UnlimitedOffer Type: Lockscreen Ad-SupportedVerified PurchaseLove this version of the Kindle! It's small and easy to carry and handle when sitting in crowded waiting rooms or standing in lines. It's light, and the operating system/interface is intuitive and easy to figure out. The screen can be adjusted for lightness and you can really make the reading easy on your eyes. The design is very efficient with no waisted or excess body to add weight or make it awkward to maneuver, and it's very light. Oh, and the batter life is superb; I've been using it for over a week and it's still at 90+ percent battery life. The set up was simple, it took me less than two minutes to synch it to my account and download the books I wanted from my Kindle Library. Definitely great version and several of my friends are now thinking about buying one after seeing mine.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2025Color: MatchaOption: Without Kindle UnlimitedOffer Type: Lockscreen Ad-SupportedVerified PurchaseI own the earliest kindle fire, and it still works, but it’s losing its ability to hold a charge. I’ve reached the tipping point where convenience becomes hassle, so I caved to buying a new model.
I typically only use a kindle when traveling, but I broke my arm in June. I found that while the kindle fire is much easier to manage than hardcover books, I still had to use a triangular pillow to hold the fire, because it’s too heavy and awkward for one-handed long reads. (I have a bit of arthritis in my hands, too).
I landed on buying the basic kindle because all of them stay charged forever nowadays, and I don’t need a color display. Secondarily I realized this one is both the cheapest and the lightest! Score!
I did pay to remove the ads, and I love seeing the cover of my current book on the snoozing screen. Worth it, imho.
I was shocked to find this little effer is lighter than my iPhone 16 pro! It’s easy to read in daylight or at night. I can hold it in one hand—and turn pages with the same hand!—with practice, but without fatigue.
I can pick a font and spacing that replicates a book page. The last page’s faintest shadow is sometimes visible on the next screen, but it is like seeing through a sheet of paper in a real book. This is surprisingly comforting.
Daytime glare is virtually nonexistent.
I bought a silicone hand-strap for the back of it, but a simple pop-socket would work. (Note that it’s so lightweight it doesn’t have the heft to stay in the palm of one’s hand without fingers actively grasping it.)
I love this kindle. Its compact size fits in my smallest, flattest crossbody, and it adds no weight to my load. I think it is glass-free, where the old fire has a heavy, tempered glass screen. I feel like I can read anywhere again—the new kindle will shave a pound off my carry-on (between the fire and the paperback book + magazines I usually pack for charging snafus) and makes reading at home virtually effortless.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2025Color: MatchaOption: Without Kindle UnlimitedOffer Type: Lockscreen Ad-SupportedVerified PurchaseI love my new little 6” Kindle reader. I bought it to replace my 2023 7” Fire that failed to charge any more. I decided to go with this b/w display model because I only use it for reading & listening to audible books so I don’t need a color display. And since I carry it in my purse all the time, I definitely wanted to keep it small. This little reader is well worth the money. It’s touchscreen fast to load and move through text, and the layout, text style & size are easy to change. It charges quickly too & the charge seems to last a long time. The case color (Sage) is pretty & I’m happy with the overall design & and quality. I purchased a magnetic case that fits well & allows me to use in either portrait or landscape position.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2025Color: MatchaOption: Without Kindle UnlimitedOffer Type: Lockscreen Ad-SupportedVerified PurchaseMy first ever Kindle was delivered this morning. I have been wanting one and decided to buy it bc of the sale price. I have to be honest, I am a little disappointed and unimpressed. I have been reading on my Samsung S22 Ultra. My Samsung has no delay, no weird loading, and it's in COLOR! How much or how hard would it be for Amazon to have the book covers in color? Yes, I knew it was in B&W but going from a crisp, perfect picture, fast response to, B&W is horrible & feels old. I was trying to decide between this Kindle and the regular Paperwhite. I am so happy I didn't spend extra on a Paperwhite bc that's B&W too. The only thing keeping me from returning this is the cost and the lighting. I read before bed, like everyone, and my cell is too bright. I also can't stand that our folders or collections aren't synced. Now, I have to organize my library again. I haven't tried to add a Libby book yet and I pray it's as easy as it sounds. Why we can't add a library app blows my mind. I understand not being able to add any app you want, but Libby? It would make our life easier.The media could not be loaded.
What do I like about this Kindle? The color, Matcha, the size, it's very light, and 16GB of memory is more than enough. Would I recommend this to someone new to Kindle? Yes, after they read my review. I attached some photos and I am going to make a short video so you're able to see how it works and what I am explaining. **MISTAKE - i don't want to remake the video or change what I wrote. My collections were synced onto the Kindle. You have to select the 2 arrows on right of screen and select collections. That's really nice!!**
