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 April 18, 2026Color: MatchaOption: Without Kindle UnlimitedOffer Type: Lockscreen Ad-SupportedVerified PurchasePerfect size & is very lightweight. I absolutely love physical books, but I don’t have enough space for more in my home (plus packing all those books up for moving is a chore & very heavy). I purchased mine in the green color along with the matching fabric case & recommended charger (added up to around $175). It came about a month or so ago, & I haven’t been able to put it down since. The battery is incredibly reliable; the charge lasts FOREVER (realistically—about 5-7 days with daily use). I take it everywhere with me as it fits easily in my bag & the charge holds so well.
As far as cost, I save so much money on physical books, primarily because of the kindle unlimited subscription which is roughly $12/month after the trial. I can read as many books as my heart desires for that price alone. *Mwah* Chef’s kiss.
The setup was a breeze, but the ‘controls’ were a little difficult to figure out at first, especially on the swipe to get back to the home screen. But everything else is pretty easy. The brightness, text size & other settings can all be changed easily.
If you’re going back & forth on the ads vs. no ads feature like I did: CHOOSE ADS. It’s more or less just book suggestions. They only occur on the screensaver, plus the advertised cover art is usually pretty awesome & you get to explore new reads if you want!
Long story short: Well worth your dollar if you purchase (or want to purchase more) books & read often. Easy to learn how to use, holds a charge fabulously, & I can’t stress enough—it is the perfect size for reading on the go.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2026Color: MatchaOption: Without Kindle UnlimitedOffer Type: Lockscreen Ad-SupportedVerified PurchaseSo cute and tiny, fits in my purse, my scrub pocket and its easy to hold in your hands. so light you barely notice its there. This one is my travel kindle I keep this one on me for work, errands, travel. I do have the colorsoft to that I tend to leave at home to read there but lately I have switched them out once in awhile but this one is perfect for travel or for people with small hands. I have found myself reading more because I no longer get distracted by my notifications or Tik Tok. It is so smooth and runs very well. there is some lag (which could just be me being use to an Iphone kindle) but it works perfectly fine with no issues except for a little lag. But I love this and I am so glad I have this with me at all times.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2026Color: BlackOption: Without Kindle UnlimitedOffer Type: Lockscreen Ad-SupportedVerified PurchaseI've been trying to read books again for the last couple of years without much success. In 2025 (and probably 2024), I never finished a single book that I started. That includes self-help, college textbooks, and friend's books! Fumbling with books, turning pages, trying to remember to carry it with me, all of that made it difficult for a working adult with a family to sit down and read, even for a few minutes. Not to mention my arthritis, needing to wear reading glasses, needing a light just bright enough to make out the words, and more.
I ordered this Kindle on New Years Day and fully expected to get bored of it in a week and want to get my money back. I downloaded my first book (Included in KindleUnlimited), by an author I never heard of (even though she's critically acclaimed and has had books turned into movies) and started reading. I was INCREDIBLY SURPRISED how easy it was to read on this thing. It's MUCH better than a physical book, by leaps and bounds. I started reading the book on Monday and finished it by Thursday. I can't wait to start my next book! The book was good... and that kept me interested, however... a few things about the kindle made it easy to finish the book so quickly...
1) Mainly, it was how easy on the eyes and the size of the text. I didn't need my reading glasses at all and the text was clearer than any book I've opened in the last few years.
2) It's lightweight and fits in my pocket! I like to (try to) read books of all different shapes and sizes; from large hard back to small and thin paperbacks. It doesn't matter the author's preferred format, this kindle puts them all in my pocket with ease! Plus, one-hand reading is easy, I don't have to "hold back" the other pages while fumbling from page to page.
3) The feel of the screen is smooth and it's easy to turn pages with the same hand I'm holding it in, but even better with a quick swipe of my other hand.
4) It's just the right amount of brightness with the backlight. I can read it without the backlight sometimes, but I prefer the backlight already and my eyes don't strain. It does drain the battery much faster, but I believe I could finish an entire book without having to charge it at all.
Overall, this thing is amazing and I look forward to expanding my mind and READING on my spare time instead of playing mind-numbing games on my phone. I do love my card and board games, but they might have to take a backseat. Both my phone and this kindle fit in my pocket easily so if I want to take a break from reading spades and backgammon are always available...
- Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2026Color: MatchaOption: With 3 months of Kindle UnlimitedOffer Type: Lockscreen Ad-SupportedVerified PurchaseI LOVE this E-reader. It’s lightweight and doesn’t cause hand/wrist fatigue. I bought it strictly for reading. I do all my downloads and book searches on Kindle with my iPhone. You can set font size, brightness etc. it does not scroll. Page turns are quick. It small and fits in my purse and side pockets really well. You can purchase a cover separately that is magnetized to the back. By simply closing the cover puts the device to sleep. Opening the cover wakes the device up.
I’ve had several different e-readers and by far this is my favorite.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2026Color: BlackOption: Without Kindle UnlimitedOffer Type: Lockscreen Ad-SupportedVerified PurchaseCame nicely packed and handled with care during the delivery process. It actually arrived whole day early. It’s amazing. I wasn’t too sure I’d like it because I was use to reading physical books. But I actually really like it. I have finished two books so far since I had bought it (which wasn’t very long ago). And I really enjoy it. It doesn’t have glare when you take it outside in the sun. And I read it on my walks to work. I had gotten it for a bit more money because I didn’t want lock screen adds, and I pared it with the kindle unlimited. It’s compact and fits well in my hands which is good because my hands are comically small. Haha. I also love how you can have your current read as the cover. I’d say paying the at extra amount really is worth it. 🫶🫶🫶

- Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2026Color: MatchaOption: Without Kindle UnlimitedOffer Type: Lockscreen Ad-SupportedVerified PurchaseI adore this kindle. The matcha is such a fun color. The size is easy to hold in one hand and never gets heavy, even when marathon reading. Refresh rate could be quicker and color options—even just for highlighting would be a game changer. This really is a terrific travel companion or daily reading device!
