This is my second kindle. Although you always love your first, this ereader is pretty great. I love the glare free screen so I can read anywhere. The illuminated page on a dark plane was perfect, I could read clearly but not be blinded by the light.
Easy to purchase books.
Nice font.
Good battery.
Great size.
Perfect weight.
Fair price.
I have to admit I don’t always love the touch screen. If I switch hands, I sometimes go a page or two in the wrong direction. It’s a small annoyance.
Also, I wished that kindle had more options for cases as I had to get a random one from Amazon.
Now I would like Amazon to make one account for kindle and audible! Before bed I could start a novel on my kindle and continue with audible when commuting in my car. Hope you’re listening Amazon, this could be a game changer!

Worth every dollar!!
I used to love reading as a teenager but with shows and social media I kinda just stopped I tried taking on reading again but I was always distracted, and not comfortable holding the chonky books or being unable to read in the dark but thanks to this I’m actually getting back my once lost passion for readingPros:- Can lay on my side and read- Can read in the dark/dark mode- Can increase the font size so it doesn’t strain my eyes- Can get a lot of books for free- Can get cases that’ll let you make it as convenient for reading as possible
