Like-New Amazon Kindle 16 GB (newest model) - Lightest and most compact Kindle, now with faster page turns, and higher contrast ratio, for an enhanced reading experience - Matcha

I got this as my very first kindle product. I was skeptical on buying it pre owned due to past experiences. BUT the kindle worked like it first came out of the box! I love how small and compact it is, it fits in my hands so much better than I thought! The screen is a lot different than expected but I actually prefer this screen over reading on a phone/tablet. I love that it has all the features that are relevant and none that aren’t. Battery life is absolutely wonderful but I will say it takes a few hours to charge completely (stays charged for around a week for me). It has helped me with my migraines so much without sacrificing my favorite hobby. It is a bit slow sometimes but I usually just restart it and it’s back to normal after rebooting.

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.

I love, love, love my kindle! I read on it nearly everyday. I am a VoiceView user and that works brilliantly in headphones! Audible is also lovely! I think this Kindle is perfectly speedy for page turning. It’s not waterproof, but I’m not using it at the pool, so that doesn’t bother me. I love that it holds all my books in such a small package. And boy is it small! This thing fits in my pocket. I love how portable it is. Highly recommend!

I turned in my old kindle for a credit (not much of one but $5 is better than nothing and a discount. I am loving this thing. It is small and very lightweight. Battery life is amazing.

Pocket-able and capable. I had a Paperwhite (previous model) that stopped working and decided to buy the lower cost Kindle. I appreciate that the software is the same and does not feel too slow to get around; it is possi le to adjust the reading experience to your liking. The lockscreen ads aren't too distracting—though I may eventually pay to have them removed for a more seamless experience. The matcha colour is fun and does not take away from reading. Battery life is certainly less than the larger Paperwhite, but Aeroplane mode does noticeably extend it. The device is light and easy to hold.

On 10/16/25 I purchased a “Like new” Kindle Reader 11th Gen 2024 Release. I noticed right away that occasionally when I tried to turned to the next page, the reader would skip multiple pages. It was no big deal, it only a few pages and I could quickly find my place. Now it’s happening every 3 or 4 page turns and it’s becoming very irritating. More importantly, the battery doesn’t hold a charge. I have to charge it DAILY instead of every 5 - 6 weeks. I’ve only had it 8 months. This is my 5th Kindle. I’ve never had to charge them more than weekly, and that wasn’t until they were 6+ years old. This e-reader is at most a year and 1/2 old. The original owner probably returned it because of the page skipping issue, and now the battery is dying? I thought batteries on “Like New” e-readers were supposed to be - at a minimum - 90% capacity. I believe Amazon should offer me a replacement “Like New” e-reader, but I can’t find a way to chat or an email address. Calling means being on hold forever.

My daughter loooves her Kindle she bedazzled it to give it a signature look. I'm so happy with the purchase because my daughter literally read a book in 2 days because it was easier to read. Although we only had it for a few days she takes it EVERYWHERE WE GO and now enjoys reading. Something that I have been trying to get her to do prior to no avail. She loves how she can zoom in on the font to her liming and the brightness of it. 10 out of 10 for me. A great investment

Overall, I'm pleased with this. The top margin is a little small, it's hard to get to the battery life display without dropping menu down. I miss the ability to easily categorize my books like I could in the old Kindle. I don't like having to poke around to find my new books, they just appeared in the index of the old Kindle. I don't like the time it takes, or the flashing screen as it wakes up. I miss the battery charging LED. Those things are minor. Generally speaking, it's a solid performer.

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.

Nice and light, holds charge really well and brightness settings fab.

Items arrived well packaged & wouldn’t have known it was a refurbished product. Bought 2 and both are great.

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.

Works great and the battery last for weeks without needing charged constantly. I read on my commute to and from work which is about two hours a day and the letters are nice and clear. Ialso wear classes and the backlight is really good.
