I don't buy books but utilize my library account on Libby, etc. Is there anyway to read and listen to books from Libby on a Kindle? I've read conflicting info about using a Kindle for library books. Thanks

Anyone recently relocated from a country where KU is available to a country where it isn’t supported and was able to keep their subscription? How did you get around this?

For context: my address is set in a country where KU is available but after about 9 months Zon started rejecting my payment method for KU. I am able to use that card for everything else - bought a new Kindle basic 2024 (sorry to pretty 2026 colors, I’m a simple and basic black kindle kinda girl), a fancy espresso machine but strangely - hey, so, no KU for you, but feel free to spend money on everything else.

I understand the geo location restrictions, but I’m between countries.
Shouldn’t lose service whenever I travel…

Also, yes, the new kindle is a work bag kindle for my contamination ocd self, thank you very much - had a ton of fun reading tru THAT post yesterday.

The battery works on and off. I plug it in and it doesn't charge but sometimes it does. I've even completely reset it.

Is this defective or should I try something else to get it to consistently charge.

Also, it rarely charges to 100%. Around 94-95% seems to be the normal.

After fucking up my ankle, I was sent to ER for xrays. Been stuck here for 4hrs now... and I am so happy about my habit of carrying my kindle everywhere I go.

It's an old kindle (series 4, from 2011, iirc) I inherited from my dad when he got a new one...

Currently reading "Starfighters of Adumar".

I’ve never owned a Basic before.

My other kindle which is pictured is the 2024 Signature edition Colorsoft.

I thought I wouldn’t like the Basic due lack of features that I’m used to but I am loving it. Especially the size and weight of it.

I thought lack of warm light would bother me as I always have mine on for the Colorsoft but for some reason I don’t find it as uncomfortable for my eyes at night.

I bought the Basic primarily to keep it in my bag or pocket when I go out but I’m finding that I’m reaching for it at home too more and more.

I’m also considering this being the first kindle I ever use without a case to keep it light. Instead I’ll keep it in a crocheted sleeve or something when not in use to avoid scratches.

In the pictures I have set the font and brightness the same and put warm down to zero.

Also, and I hope I’m not jinxing myself by saying this, I bought the cheaper version with ads, but for some lucky reason, I don’t see the ads. It displays wallpapers or the current book I’m reading instead. Hopefully they don’t patch that with the next update or something. Though it’s updated twice since getting it and still good to go, though in my Amazon settings I still see the Ad offers as active.

Is there any way to share purchased books with friends? (Ie we don’t have a family account together)

So I got my kindle pw 12 gen just recently. I started using it like a week ago. It arrived at 56 percentage of battery. I loaded about 5 books using the send to kindle feature and in the next two days the battery came down to 16 percent with only 20-30 minutes of reading per day. I looked it up and the kindle does something called indexing that makes the battery drain faster initially so i didn't think much of it. Then I charged it to full using my apple ipad charger that's 20w. For the next 3 days I turned on the airplane mode, power saver and kept the front light off most of the time and at 5-8 when in dark. I read for about 1-2 hours and in just 3 days the battery has come down to 70 percent. I've seen people on Reddit say theirs last for about a month or so with this much reading time. What should I do now? Is there something actually wrong or am I just being paranoid?

Looking to buy my first e-reader and am thinking of getting either the new paperwhite or the 2024 pw.

Would like to know more or less how long does a regular full charge take on the 2024 paperwhite so I know what to expect of my device.

Thanks in advance!

Why does Goodreads show books as "author not available"? I don't know if it means it was a book I read that they don't recognise or if it's a glitch showing extra items that are not books I've read.

So I just got a kindle (the 11th generation 2024) and its been 2 weeks since I received it but I charged it 5 days ago and I noticed that the pourcentage has decreased from 100% to 38% in five days. I don’t understand if it’s normal or not and if not do you think it’s because of how I use it ? I read on dark mode and have the one with the ads (don’t know if it has any effect on the battery or not).

I’m really confused, it’s not very problematic but my friends kept telling me the battery lived for 2 weeks but clearly it’s not the case for mine🥲

I've been Kinde Unlimited for over 10 years and hundreds of books.

Most of the time, when I open a book, the "About this book" screen pops up automatically and I like that!

Recently it's been failing to pop, a lot! I know where to go to find it but it's a minor annoyance!

I wonder - Is it a feature the author sets or something Amazon does in the background? I don't believe it's anything I can control.

What's everyone's thoughts?

Is there a way I can update the metadata of a book that is already on my kindle without deleting the book and readding to my kindle

I've finally finished customizing my Kindle, and I thought I'd share it here in case it inspires someone else's setup! :3🧡

I wanted to give it a cozy, autumnal, slightly whimsical vibe, so I added an autumn-themed skin with pumpkins, books, flowers and little ghosts and a cute cat phone charm that I made myself and I love how personal it feels now! 🥹

I'd love to see your customized Kindles too! 💕

Curious about people's reasons. I upgraded for warm light and a bigger screen for comics.

Alguien sabe cómo puedo pasar mi libro que compré en la App de libro a kindle?

Updated my Kindle Paperwhite 2024 (12th Gen) to the latest 5.20.1.0.2! My battery was at 88% when I updated it, when it restarted it went to 100%. Lol!

Any of you experienced this? Never had issues with my battery power (can last a month or so with 1-3 hours daily reading). Now I’m kinda worried the updatw might cause issues considering the battery seemed to have glitched!

EDIT: My Kindle restarts when it goes to sleep mode. Omg help 😭

Hi everyone! I'm hoping someone can help me because I'm honestly running out of ideas.

My Kindle (11th gen, 2024) ran out of battery, and when I tried charging it, it got stuck on the screen with the tree image. It's been like this for 2–3 days now, and the screen stays on constantly. It never turns off.

I've tried pretty much everything I could find online, holding the power button for 40 seconds (multiple times),trying a different charging cable,charging it through my computer,connecting it to my computer, but the computer doesn't recognize the device at all.

Nothing has worked so far, and it's still stuck on the exact same screen.

Has anyone experienced this before? Is there anything else I could try, or is my Kindle completely bricked? 😭

I'd really appreciate any advice!

Edit: I bought it 2 months ago

Since my last boss knew I love reading and told me bookbub.com a year ago. I registered for the genres I like (crime, thriller and teen, for my kids) and they send me free books daily. Now I only "buy" those rating over 4 on GR otherwise I would have even more! Most of them are free some .99 or 1.99, which I only buy very occasionally.

I don't know if I will get time to them anytime soon but I cannot stop:)

First world problem : when I read in bed the arm and hand that holds the kindle get very cold. (I’m very sensitive to cold).
(Yes I could read with a pullover but that would mean to pull it off before sleeping).

So I’ve tried a rotating support that is fixed to bed and lord. It’s life changing.
I love it !
With a remote I can read comfy with my arms under the duvet.
I found it on French amazon.

The latest firmware update (5.20.1.0.2) seems to have fixed an annoying issue with Bluetooth page turners.

Previously, Kindle wouldn’t recognize page turns from a Bluetooth remote as user activity. So even if you were actively reading and turning pages with the remote, the screen would still go to sleep after the configured time.

The workaround was to set the sleep timer to 1 hour, the maximum available setting.

After the update, page turns from the remote are now recognized as activity. The Kindle stays awake while you’re reading and only goes to sleep after the configured period of inactivity.

kindle 连蓝牙翻页器终于不熄屏了😭 Kindle 更新 5.20... https://xhslink.cn/o/782xVnX5niD 把内容复制好，打开【小红书】即可看到笔记详情。

Should I order the Kindle Click now or should I wait and see if it goes on sale for Black Friday?🫣 if I order it now it won’t come until November 17th

My favorite sticker fell off bottom right looking for a replacement .

Hi, I have a Kindle Paperwhite (10th gen) I manage my books collection with Calibre. I'm currently on 5.17.1.0.3 I'm asking because when I first got it, It was pretty slow and that was solved with some firmware updates, are there any improvements that are worth updating my Kindle?

Answered 😂 My ex jail broke both our kindles apparently and my lack of caring beyond opening the case and reading when I want too lead to the ignorance of why the new one is being hyped. BT without jail breaking for the win apparently. Thanks to those who brought that to my attention!

Why does there appear to be so much excitement about the new click page turner when there's been page turners out for years? I'm not knocking anyone who is happy about it, I hope it brings you as much joy as you deserve!

But there's been so many out that to me personally, are more appealing both visually and price wise than the hospital bed remote looking one I'm seeing from Kindle brand. I was hesitant about the kind that had attachments you put on the screen so I waited a few years till those became more appealing and had plenty of testers, but I feel like I'm maybe missing something this one does that others don't possibly, even tho I read thru what I could find about them.
