Title: Compact size, nice bezel to grip, less glare!
Review: I was hoping for an Oasis replacement with this new launch, but sadly we didn’t get another device with premium finishes and page turn buttons. The Scribe is too big for me, I sent it back after 2 days, and it wasn’t worth purchasing another Paper White just for the color screen, especially when I was already a bit dissatisfied with the paper white signature edition I already have. The paper white bezel is very narrow all the way around, and it makes it a little tedious to hold.The basic kindle is great to hold onto for hours at a time. It’s weighs very little, and I love the bezel. There’s no glare on the bezel because of the textured matte finish, which also means the bezel is not constantly covered in finger prints. Dark mode works great. There’s no flashing between page turns. I don’t personally miss the automatic light adjustment, because I usually had to adjust it myself anyway. I don’t miss the waterproofing because I don’t usually take my kindle anywhere near the water. (And if it does get wet it’s not too expensive to replace.) I’ve never used the wireless charging on my paperwhite, so I don’t miss that. I don’t even really notice the screen being smaller. I do wish it had the warm light, but it’s not a deal breaker for me. It’s worth it to have a device that’s lightweight, has a good bezel to hold onto, and isn’t constantly covered in fingerprints.Overall it’s wonderful to hold for extended periods of time. The matcha color is beautiful, and the matching case is very nice!

Title: So happy I got it
Review: I’ve been using my kindle from 2011 for almost 15 years. I knew it was time for an upgrade because I was in desperate need of a backlight. This kindle model is perfect: light, small, and crisp. This is exactly what I wanted, and the matcha green is so cute. I’m very pleased. I was worried that this kindle would be like the paperwhites, which to me feel very tablet like, but nope. This is as true to the original kindle as possible, with a very matte screen that’s perfect for outdoor reading. I haven’t had it long so can’t speak to the battery life, but would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a simple e-reader without all the bells and whistles.

Title: Love It
Review: This is a really nice kindle. I find the screen to be crisp and clear, and not having warm light doesn’t matter to me so I appreciate that it’s less expensive. I absolutely love the away it looks and the matcha color. My favorite things is that it’s small enough and lightweight so I can hold it in one hand while I read.

Title: better than 2023 Kindle Paperwhite Signature edition
Review: I was hesitant to pull the trigger on this new kindle as I only just purchased my paperwhite signature in August. Prior to that I had the basic kindle from 2019. While I love the paperwhite and its features, I quickly found that it can be fairly uncomfortable and awkward to hold compared to my old 6 inch kindle. It is also noticeably heavier.I ultimately decided to purchase this new kindle and as soon as I took it out of the box I knew I made the right call. I purchased the matcha color, which I was hesitant to do because I didn’t really love how it looked in the pictures but also didn’t want just plain black. I am SO glad I chose the matcha. It isn’t as vibrant as it appears in the ad photos which I really like. It is very similar to the agave green paperwhite color. I also love that the whole device is the same color rather than just the back being colored.As for the page turning speed, I don’t see much of a difference between this kindle and the previous paperwhite model. The page turning wasn’t something that ever bothered me, but they really emphasized this “upgrade” in the advertising so I was hoping for more. But again, certainly not a deal breaker for me.In terms of the difference in features between this model and the paperwhite, I don’t feel as though I am missing out on much. The one feature I would have loved to see on this kindle that the paperwhite has is the adjustable warmth of the screen color.Overall, I definitely think that I will be reaching for this kindle more than the paperwhite given how compact and light this model is. It is very comfortable and easy to hold and the color is just perfect. I would recommend this model over a paperwhite.

Title: What I was looking for!!
Review: Just received my Kindle! Very light and perfect size. I spent not even 10 minutes on getting it set up with my Kindle app, super easy set up. It downloaded all the books from my Kindle app on my phone, even opened to the correct page I was on in my book. So far it’s meeting my wants with keeping me off my phone and focusing on books! Perfect for vacations and late night reading. I recommend for all the book lovers out there!!

Title: It's trash! I returned it for refund!
Review: It is light-weight because is it a cheesy piece of plastic garbage! This garbage was delivered at 4:15 AM this morning and I charged it immediately and began downloading my kindle books after 3 hours of charging from 60% to 100%. I started downloading my kindle library 12 hours ago. After 277 books downloaded, the kindle reader stopped downloading. I have a great internet connection, but this kindle will not download any more books, so I returned it for refund.Scrolling the library is slow! Opening books is slow! Turning pages is slow! This piece of garbage is JUST SLOW!This supposedly 16GB device, had 10 GB of 11.50 GB available. 11.50 GB is a long way from 16 GB.The only good thing about this garbage device is its nice green color. Big f***ing deal! It's a pretty piece of trash!After the first 12 hours, I left this kindle reader downloading for 5 additional hours and it downloaded on two additional books. I'm returning it for a refund.My 10-year-old kindle works much better than this garbage.I do not recommend this kindle reader!
