Like-New Amazon Kindle (16 GB) - Lightest and most compact Kindle, with glare-free display, faster page turns, adjustable front light, and long battery life - Matcha

My first foray into the realm of Kindle. I've been a "book" person for a long time. A relative of mine, also a hardcore "book" person, took the plunge recently and discovered life with a Kindle is good. So I decided to give it a try. Bought a (like new) used Kindle (11th Gen) ...the basic model ...and yes, there is life in reading without the "book". The basic Kindle is light as a feather; the *screen* measures 5 13/16" tall by 3 9/16" wide ...giving a 7" diagonal screen. The overall dimensions are 6 3/16" tall by 4 3/16" wide. I thought this seemed a bit on the small side but I haven't had any issues reading with it. What it does do is make the thing incredibly portable; you can stuff or carry the Kindle just about anywhere. Battery life is very long and, if you opt out of the ads, probably a bit longer. The ads are for books and *only* appear on the cover screen; you will *not* be getting any ads once you sign in and wake up your Kindle. For a small, one-time fee ($15?) you can banish the cover screen ads permanently if you have a Kindle with the cover screen ads. Readability with the no-frills Kindle is better than reading a book. Why? Because you can change the font and, more importantly, change the size of the font. Your only image adjustment is brightness. The basic Kindle has a black and white presentation ...enhanced by the fact the "white" is actually more of a warm white than a bight white. Whomever researched the contrast and background tonality level hit the nail on the head. The best part of the Kindle, is you can read at night without the need for any external lighting. And no, your eyes won't get tired reading in the dark once you dial in the brightness level. Handling the basic Kindle can be a bit of a challenge as the sides aren't very wide; it can be easy to accidentally touch the screen, which advances the page before you intend to. In addition, the Kindle is fairly thin. Consider adding a flip open cover; it will add a bit of purchase and makes holding the Kindle a lot easier. Plus, most of these flip open covers have a magnetic catch that keeps the cover closed and puts the Kindle in standby. Using the Kindle is fairly easy once you get the gestures squared away ...the biggest to learn is turning back the page because you will invariably and inadvertently advance the page when you didn't mean to. The other thing you need to understand is you must have the Kindle app on your cell or computer; this is how you download your reading material. The Kindle is linked via Bluetooth to your download device; this is how it gets the "books" loaded to read or add to your library. To some this will be intuitive, to others (like myself) a wee bit of rocket science; call it generational. Overall, I have no complaints with the basic Kindle; it does exactly what I want and that is to offer a viable reading experience other than a book.

This little Kindle is PERFECT!! First, it was a steal! Secind, it fits perfectly in my bag. At my age (75), I have lots of Doctor visits but love to read. And one can only do soo much people watching. Second, I don't get around as well as I used to. I can carry this along with my reading glasses, my drink, and my dog on a leash down my steps & outside to read. I won't ever be w/o one!!

I thought like-new means used kindle with good condition. I was wrong, it got absolutely new Kindle. Difference was only box. It works perfect, size is very compact and comfortable. Love the matcha color

I am absolutely obsessed with my Kindle! The interface is very user friendly and I can read in any lighting. It is the perfect size to hold and take with me everywhere. I would recommend getting a screen protector - I didn't have one and the screen got a bit scratched up after I took it on vacation and was throwing it in my beach bag.

Perfect for my wife who always wants something to read now she has the entire kindle library on hand with lots of new books added often.

Love this kindle. Light weight, durable and fits conveniently into my purse. Tested the battery life and can fully charge it and allow it to go almost a week and a half without charging again. Although I put it on charging when reading it does last awhile when it’s not. Settings to your liking, easy to read as the size of letters are perfect. Would purchase again.

Never thought I would like having an ereader, but so far I’m loving my kindle! Easy to use, gorgeous color and quick set up. My complaint is the menus can be a bit tedious—though once you get used to it, it’s fine—and I wish you could add new books to a cart instead of one-click buying. Otherwise, battery life is surprisingly long and downloading books is nice and quick. Appreciate the screen being matte too.

Favoriting thing I’ve ever bought! It’s lightweight, you can read indoors, outdoors, literally anywhere. It has a light and dark mode.

Ich habe mich für den zertifizierten und generalüberholten Kindle entschieden und bin sehr positiv überrascht, wie neu das Gerät wirkt. Keine Kratzer, kein Gebrauchsspuren – man merkt wirklich nicht, dass es kein Neugerät ist. Der Kindle ist extrem leicht und kompakt, ideal für unterwegs oder längere Lesesessions. Der blendfreie Bildschirm ist wie gewohnt hervorragend und auch das schnellere Umblättern macht das Lesen angenehm flüssig. Das einstellbare Frontlicht ist praktisch, vor allem abends. Ein kleiner Punkt, den man wissen sollte: Die Akkulaufzeit erreicht bei mir nicht die oft genannten hohen Werte. Realistisch hält der Akku bei regelmäßiger Nutzung ungefähr bis zu zwei Wochen, was für mich aber immer noch völlig in Ordnung ist und schnell nachgeladen ist. Insgesamt ein hochwertiges Gerät zu einem guten Preis – wer keinen brandneuen Kindle braucht, bekommt hier eine sehr gute Alternative.

Kindle was easy to set up nice and compact fit in handbag downloading books was easy not heavy to hold

Great value for the money

Ich habe mir das Kindle zusätzlich zu meinem Paperwhite gebraucht für einen super Preis gekauft. Der Zustand ist bis auf einen ganz kleinen Kratzer auf dem Display (bei der Akkuanzeige) in einem neuwertigen Zustand und funktioniert tadellos. Das Gerät an sich ist für unterwegs einfach genial, da es tatsächlich in die Hosentasche passt (wenn man das möchte). Auf Reisen oder im Bus finde ich die Größe genial und ich muss sagen, dass er bei längerem Halten sogar ein bisschen besser in der Hand liegt als der Paperwhite. Alles in allem ist es ein tolles Gerät und ich nutze meine Kindles sehr häufig.

Ich habe diesen neuen Kindle gekauft und bin insgesamt zufrieden. Das Gerät war gut verpackt und ohne sichtbare Kratzer. Das Display ist scharf, die Hintergrundbeleuchtung angenehm und gleichmäßig. Seiten werden schnell geladen und der Akku hält mehrere Tage bei täglicher Nutzung. Besonders praktisch finde ich das geringe Gewicht, so kann man lange bequem lesen. Für den Preis bietet der Kindle ein sehr gutes Gesamtpaket und ist ideal für Vielleser.
