### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic little kindle, perfect upgrade
*by A***I on 14 May 2026*

I had one of the older kindles about to be discontinued so decided to take the offer and purchase a new one, very pleased with purchase. This new kindle is very light and easy to hold in one hand, the touch screen is way better than I expected and so much easier to use than my old button version. Set up was so simple, all my books simply transferred over. The back light is fantastic as I can now read in bed without the light on and it is still easy to read in bright sunlight. Anyone thinking of upgrading I would definitely recommend. Also got credit to buy new books so I am all set for a great summer reading. Ads are no problem at all. The matcha green colour is very pretty. I use daily and battery lasting around a month.
