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: Small but Mighty — I’m Obsessed - You can’t tell me nothing—I absolutely love my little Kindle 😍 It’s so cute, and I’ve completely decked it out from head to toe. The size is absolutely perfect. I take it everywhere with me, it fits right in my purse, and it’s so lightweight that I barely notice it’s there. Functionality-wise, this Kindle delivers. The screen is clear and easy on the eyes, the adjustable light makes reading comfortable in any setting, and the page turns are fast and smooth. I love having a completely distraction-free reading experience—no notifications, no scrolling, just books. The battery life is impressive too. I can read for weeks without worrying about charging, and the storage holds more books than I could ever read at once. For such a compact device, it does everything I need and more. Great quality, amazing portability, and absolutely worth the investment. If you want a travel-friendly Kindle you can take anywhere, this is the one. 💕📚

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best purchase EVER
*by S***9 on December 30, 2025*

So far I LOVE it. The color is GORGEOUS and true to the pictures, the screen, when the brightness is turned down looks just like paper. I paid to have no ads and it is soo worth it, navigating through the device is super easy. Sometimes it takes a while to respond if it looking up a book in the kindle shop but other than that is responds super well. I've read some manga on it and the pages turn super quick and super easy to read on. It's small enough that u can take it anywhere I popped it into the rose kindle case as soon as I got it but this thing is pretty sturdy. There's no buttons which is kind of sad but the touch screen is textured and doesn't feel like an iPad or phone while ur kindle is off it'll display your book cover on the screen but u can disable if u want. Overall the experience is a 10/10 and I couldn't recommend it enough
