It’s extremely light and comfortable to hold for long sessions, even with one hand.The glare‑free screen works very well both indoors and outdoors, and the adjustable front light makes night reading easy on the eyes. Page turns are noticeably faster than older models, and the battery easily lasts several weeks with daily use.The 16 GB storage is more than enough for a large library. Ads are present, but they are not intrusive and disappear while reading.✅ Pros: very lightweight, sharp screen, excellent battery life❌ Cons: still not waterproofOverall, a great choice for anyone who wants a simple, reliable e‑reader without unnecessary features.

Reviewed in Italy on 6 March 2026Colour: BlackVersion: Without Kindle UnlimitedStyle Name: With AdsVerified Purchase Con un peso piuma (circa 158 grammi) e dimensioni così ridotte da sparire nella tasca di una giacca o in una piccola borsa, questo Kindle ridefinisce il concetto di "leggere ovunque". La sua ergonomia è impeccabile: puoi tenerlo in mano per ore senza affaticare il polso, dimenticandoti quasi di avere tra le mani un dispositivo elettronico.Nonostante l'estrema leggerezza, il dispositivo trasmette una sensazione di grande solidità. La scocca è costruita con plastiche riciclate di alta qualità che resistono bene ai piccoli urti quotidiani e ai graffi. È un oggetto pensato per essere vissuto, lanciato nello zaino e portato in spiaggia o in montagna senza troppi complimenti, offrendo una durevolezza che spesso manca ai tablet più costosi.Il vero miracolo tecnologico risiede nell'efficienza energetica. Grazie al display a inchiostro elettronico da 6 pollici (ora più luminoso e con un contrasto migliorato a 300 ppi), la durata della batteria non si misura in ore, ma in settimane.Autonomia reale: Con una singola ricarica tramite USB-C, puoi dimenticarti del caricabatterie per oltre 6 settimane (con un uso medio di mezz'ora al giorno).Viaggi senza pensieri: È il dispositivo perfetto per i viaggi lunghi o i weekend fuori porta, dove la preoccupazione di ricaricare il device semplicemente non esiste.Lo schermo antiriflesso permette di leggere sotto la luce diretta del sole come se fosse carta stampata, mentre la modalità scura e la luce frontale regolabile garantiscono il massimo comfort anche di notte, proteggendo la vista dall'affaticamento tipico degli schermi retroilluminati di smartphone e tablet.

The display is very clear and comfortable for the eyes, even after reading for long hours. The lightweight design makes it easy to carry anywhere, whether traveling, studying, or relaxing at home. I especially love the long battery life, which lasts for weeks without needing frequent charging. The screen feels almost like real paper, and the adjustable brightness makes reading comfortable both during the day and at night. Downloading books is quick and simple, and the storage capacity is more than enough for thousands of books. It is perfect for students, book lovers, and anyone who enjoys reading regularly. The overall performance is smooth, reliable, and easy to use. I highly recommend the Amazon Kindle to anyone looking for a convenient, modern, and enjoyable reading experience.

Customer Reviews Summary

I've loved using Kindles, ever since I bought the 4th Gen Kindle, over a decade ago.I recently bought another 4th Gen, a few months ago, to have as a backup.I've been using a 10th Gen, White, Basic for a few years and loved it, because it (unlike all of the black models, I've ever seen) didn't show fingerprints, which, tbh, annoy the heck out of me!However, recently, as it's always been in a case, so I can't understand why, it's developed a small "crack" in the frame, to the right of the screen, so I decided that maybe it was time to upgrade.Looking at the colours of the 11th Gen 2022 Models, I liked the "Denim," but was worried that, it too, would be plastered with fingerprints in no time.So, I was pleased when they brought out the Green/Matcha coloured model for 2024, (although I would've preferred a white option) in the hope that it wouldn't show fingerprints as much as the black option.I decided to wait for the Black Friday offers and was disappointed to find, that when they were listed on Thursday, at first, that only the black option was reduced on the Amazon Site (I later found that the Matcha also went down in price, later in the day)But the Matcha was on offer in a High Street Store, so I immediately ordered it and picked it up on the same day.I have to say, that the Set Up process was a breeze.I used the Kindle App on my phone and within minutes, it was all set up.I am particularly pleased, having spent hours, in the past, having organized my Library into "Collections," that all of my collections were transferred to the new device, which was something that I was worried about, but no issues.As to the device itself. It's a delight. I didn't think I'd like the "green" colour, but I absolutely love it.It's very compact and lightweight and a pleasure to hold "naked," and/or in a case.NO fingerprints. The front "bezels" on the device are made of some sort of matt "coarse," almost "roughly" textured plastic, which resists fingerprints and which makes it very secure to hold "naked."The screen is clearer and sharper than previous Kindles.The page turning process is very snappy and the screen, very responsive in all actions.One thing I am particularly pleased with, is that I have never been a fan of the "progress in book" option, which I couldn't disable/turn off (permanently) on my 10th Gen Kindle and whenever I did, I was constantly "reactivating it," accidentally, which I found very annoying.However, although the options are still available and I have it set to "page/percentage" I haven't once managed to "change," the status of the progress by accidentally touching the screen, at the bottom.In fact, I have tried to deliberately change the progress, to find that it takes several taps to do so, which is something I'm not at all unhappy about, so I'm happy to leave it on "page/percentage," rather than trying to turn it off completely.I have also purchased the OEM case for the device, which, although very pricey, fits beautifully, is comfortable to hold and doesn't feel "bulky" unlike the OEM case, I briefly tried on the 10th Gen Kindle.I did try a cheaper case, but, sadly, in spite of being advertised for the 11th Gen 2024 Model was too large for it and had to be returned.There don't seem to be that many options, thus far, for this particular model of KIndle.All in all, I would say that it's my favourite Kindle yet.If you're looking for a good basic e-reader for a reasonable (especially at the moment) price, then I would say, look no further.I can thoroughly recommend this device!😉📚
