Review: Quick, Easy and Seamless to install with all my content library automatically transferred. - I'm 80 years and not a 'techie" - but I had this lovely new 16G Kindle open, registered and running with all 759 of my books transferred into my new Kindle automatically. I didn't even have to ask. I like the Matcha color, and I like the compact size to fit in pocket or purse. I use an eight point font, and have no problem with it fitting on the screen in aa useful and comfortable format. This Kindle basic replaced a 2014 Paperwhite with only 2.5G of memory, so I'm very happy with my 'downgrade' to 16G. Highly recommend this featherweight, darling little E-reader.
Review: Perfect for the readers - I love it! Good size while being small enough to take everywhere and comfy to hold and big enough to read easily on it. The ability to change brightness and switch between dark and light mode is great for night vs day reading. Its ease enough to use and worth the cost I paid. It is super sturdy. I say this after having it for a while and knowing my toddlers have messed with it and dropped it a few times.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ All the ways I love my Kindle
*by C***A on February 10, 2026*

I love the size and color of this Kindle. It’s my first Kindle. The battery has a good charge to it. I can read for longer periods and only need to charge it a couple times a week. I love the screen quality and the feel of the screen. I have it in a case and it just floats around in my purse, so it’s pretty durable. I love that I can store all the books I can buy in one place and it always stays the same weight, I know that’s stupid. But books weigh a lot and take up quite a bit of room. You can rent books with your library apps. The light for reading in dark environments is great. I love the color. A little pop of color is an easy to make me smile. You will love this Kindle though all your reading adventures. There is also a reading rewards program where you can get $3 off your next purchase. Great recommendations. Don’t hesitate, you will love this device.
