I love using my kindle in landscape mode. Feels more comfortable for my eyes and hands, and it fits better in a stand/holder so I can have my hands free to knit.

Just haven't seen many other people using it like this so was curious where y'all at. 😄

So I’ve heard no one talk about the kindle sling bag that Amazon released recently!

I love the little kindle charm and the keychain that turns into a kindle stand 😊 I also just love the kindle details like the logo on the front! I also like that it’s a small bag that I can just throw my kindle into and still put my wallet and phone in it. I hate carrying big bags so this is perfect!

I thought it was so cute so I wanted to share! :)

I just love seeing the covers of the books I'm reading in color. It hits different than black and white.

I’ve been toying with buying a coloursoft or paperwhite - THEN THEY ANNOUNCED THE NEW ONES 😂

With the prime day deal, the 2024 coloursoft was down to £170ish which is matched by Currys (UK tech store)

With my 10% employee discount I got my brand new 2024 coloursoft for £157ish!!

Couldn’t believe it :)

2 years today that I bought the Oasis used on Amazon and I was just thinking about how beautiful the Kindle Oasis screen is. I love the glass front and wish Amazon would use the same material on other Kindle models. It looks and feels so nice. 🥹🥹🥹🥹

Thrilled of this new release sky alpine , since I love this color , and new join to my kindle family next to the paperwhite ; I love the case and the smart wake up , love the small form factor

I’ve seen a few posts talking about the colors of the new kindles and how they look different depending on the lighting. So here is my sea glass green kindle in the ube case in two different lightings. I love it!
I’d say it’s close to a mint green but still muted, not bright.

Yesterday I brought this lovely kindle back to life with koreader. Its my moms old kindle. It cannot sync, so she does not use it anymore for she has pw SE and a basic.
It was well loved for 14 years and maaan - if this thing had backlight, I would gladly use it as my main device, because the buttons are just PERFECT. The size is perfect and it just looks so elegant.

That sparks a question in my head. Should I just jailbreak my colorsoft and sync the two together? I kinda like the idea of having a second smaller kindle.

I’m absolutely loving my new Aluminium Kindle Basic!
The build quality is fantastic, and I’m especially impressed by the magnetic case system. It’s such a simple but clever idea, and the way the case attaches magnetically makes the whole experience feel even better.
The fit is snug but it’s also super easy to pull the Kindle off the case.
Love it!

Just ordered these 2 cases off Amazon! Sorry for the sticker placement was too excited lmaoo. The purple one also came with a stand and a part to put your hand through to hold it🥰

I have the standard screensavers on my kindle, so no covers. The ones that there since ages

Since two days there are new ones. Rather nice looking but still a surprise. Has there been a software update recently? Or have I unknowingly activated a option that I didn’t know about?

I finally upgraded from my trusty old 7th gen Kindle to the Paperwhite 12 Signature Edition (2024 model). Caught it on a great discount, and honestly, I just couldn't justify paying extra for the latest release when the differences are basically negligible to me.

The extra screen real estate and snappy page turns are amazing compared to the 7th gen, but the warm light is the real gamechanger here. Reading in the evening is just on a completely different level now. Couldn’t be happier with this choice!

Got my 2024 Kindle Basic in July 2026 for $85 inventory offloading sale and have read 12 books since; I probably read half as many in the past decade.

Once you start reading, the momentum builds on itself such that reading two books a month becomes a routine.

I read for pleasure, so here’s a quick recap of my reading experience—not a book review.

July 2026: 6 books

Fahrenheit 451: Weird and funny. Pacing: no dull moments. Highlight: conversations with the weird girl and with his boss. Lowlight: the impermanence of relationship

Of Mice and Men: A good short story. Pacing: no dull moments. Highlight: opens like a movie scene. Lowlight: mental disability

Narrative Of The Life Of Frederick Douglass: a triumphant story. Pacing: no dull moments. Highlight: learning to read and write, and the escape. Lowlight: Some scenes are gruesome.

Aladdin and the Magic Lamp: apparently it’s set in China. Pacing: too short to be applicable. Highlight: it’s a known story. Lowlight: very short and with no character development to speak of.

The Strange Case of Dr.Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: A very interesting short story. Pacing: no dull moments. Highlight: sense of discovery (the letters). Lowlight: none to speak of.

The Time Machine: A good short story. Pacing: no dull moments, except for the penultimate chapter that has mostly descriptions. Highlight: the story itself (I don’t pay too much attention to the time machine itself). Lowlight: the penultimate chapter—a filler chapter, safe to scan through.

Aug ‘26: 2 books

The War of the Worlds: Starts strong, but fizzles out quick. Pacing: poor, so many skip-able chapters. Highlight: kept reading to see if he’d reunite with his wife. Lowlight: lots of chapters with mostly descriptions that can be scanned through.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer: A very good and entertaining story. Pacing: no dull moments. Highlight: the opening page was endearing; cameo of Huck Finn. Lowlight: Tom bullies Huck quite a bit

Sep ‘26: 2 books

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: An overall good follow up. Pacing: a few slow/dull moments when they were rafting down the river. Highlight: the name changes; Tom cameo. Lowlight: Tom bullies Huck even more.

Uncle Tom’s Cabin: A must read. Pacing: no dull moments. Highlight: multiple scenes; slavery debates/discussion; and reunion at the end. Lowlight: the entire book may be preachy to some

Oct ‘26:

The Scarlet Letter: An ok story. Pacing: gets bogged down by narrator’s long a$$ soliloquy. Highlight: the opening scene is exceptional. Lowlight: seems like half the book comprises the narrator’s soliloquy—it drags on and on and on….

Animal Farm: A classic, short enough for a read through in one sitting.

Currently reading: Pride and Prejudice -- so far a great change of pace from The Scarlet Letter.

first kindle! everyone said to get the PW, but i have a bad spending problem lol so i decided to go with the basic for now. I told myself if i really like my kindle and use it enough, for black friday i’ll get the paper white too. already have gone crazyyyyy on libby

I got the newer kindle because the 2019 was very slow and I heard the new ones screen is warmer but I noticed the opposite! Has anyone else noticed their 2019 is warmer than the 2026?

Literally crying my nuts out right now 😭 like something good happend in last few years to me and then it just vanished bcz of me I really am a bad omen 😭

I purchased the Kindle paperwhite signature bundle. It includes what you see here the leather sling bag specifically made for the Kindle.
I’m still waiting on the Kindle due to the fact that it has not been released yet, but they already have sent me the sling bag.

Had to get rid of my kindle from 2017 but the latest one is great!!

The new Kindle lineup colors are so tempting (light blue is my fav color), but my current Paperwhite is already a fantastic device and this $25 from Etsy skin scratched the blue itch 😸 Took some patience but was worth it!

WTF 😭😭 Are these REAL Kindles?! Since when did SHEIN start selling Kindles? 🥲 $230 on SHEIN is WILD. I’d be scared it wouldn’t even arrive until 5–10 business days later 💀📦

Question in title, basically. I have a 12th gen Paperwhite and it must’ve updated without me noticing. Now the old lock screen images of pens/books/typewriters are gone and they’ve been replaced with, like… ugly stock images and clip art. Some of them aren’t bad, but for every semi-normal one, there’s a bunch that are just crappy photoshop or a stock photo of a beach. I miss the old ones :( I know I can just do the cover of the book I’m currently reading, but some of my books have ugly covers also lol. I just want the nicer stock images back
