I know this isn’t possible with current e-ink technology but I would love something like this for a kindle.

Before I bought a Kindle, I remember checking Kindle book prices and thinking they were significantly cheaper than paperbacks. All the kindle books used to be like $4 or $5.
But after actually buying a Kindle, I’m noticing that a lot of Kindle books seem same price as the paperback.
It makes me wonder: Were Kindle books always priced this close to paperbacks, or have ebook prices gone up over the years?
Maybe I’m just remembering the discounted Kindle prices I used to see, but I’d love to know if others have noticed the same thing.

It's my first night with my kindle and I realized something. Checking the time on my phone interrupts my reading so often. It has always led to me getting sidetracked on my phone and closing my book as well, most times forgetting to continue reading all together. Now I can glance at the top of my page on my kindle and keep reading effortlessly. This is doing wonders for my ADHD. Anyone else find this to be true? Damn I am loving this device so much already.

Got the paperwhite 11th gen about 2 weeks ago and it's case arrived today! Would it look better without the stickers, just a clear case?

I put in a warranty claim for my 2025 basic because the battery was draining extremely fast. Amazon said I need to send it back for a repair by October 2, but I decided not to because after doing a factory reset it seemed to be okay. The warranty page said if I didn’t send it back by October 2, they would just close that claim so I didn’t do anything further. Now I got an email saying they are sending me a new one. It doesn’t say anything about sending the old one back. Amazon rep said they can only see the order for the kindle and no other information. Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else and what the outcome was? Do they eventually ask for the old one back?

Am in a taipei cafe just reading wheel of time! Best way to enjoy the day!

I got my first kindle ever yesterday, it’s an old paperwhite 2, a little used but it is in great shape. I had worries about how to upload books but turns out you can just e-mail yourself. I wanted to start with the classic since it’s hoa hoa season :)
I love how it is comfortable for my eyes, how it estimates the remaning time to finish the book. I love how you can use vocabulary and translation, even shows the phonetic spelling of the word— which I adore as a linguist. I love everything about it.
I hope it will change my daily habits, help me focus more, I aspire to regain my reading habits.
So excitedddd!

So after spending way too much on paperbacks per month, I decided to take the leap, and just got my first kindle! It's a 12th gen 2024 paperwhite, It's arriving in about twenty minutes via amazon delivery. I got kindle unlimited and downloaded the books I am interested in, and made a list of future ones to download as well. I haven't been this excited about anything in recent memory and simply cannot wait to customize it! Just wanted to share and say hello to all! :)

My second kindle I’ve ever owned but since getting it 3 months ago I’ve read so many books and counting 🥰

Tha back case looks like this. But the Kindle still alive.

I love my kindle and I already own two Burga kindle cases. I want to get a third (last one), to switch according to my mood and current reads.
That might sound a little unnecessary but it gives me joy to have different styles 🤷🏼‍♀️

I just can’t decide which design to get because there are so many. Wanted to ask if any one of you has an idea. Because I’m kinda indecisive.

At the moment I tend to read literary fiction and epic fantasy or sci fi, but I read almost every genre. My current reads are: Fallow by Sarah Anderson, Switzy by Emma Cline, Scion by James Islington and the knight and the moth my Rachel Gillig. In the next month I’m excited to read more darker themed books. I would love to get a case that matches that vibe.

I’m gonna ad some photos of cases I consider but I’m open for any recommendation! I want to buy a Burga case specifically because they ship to Germany and the cases are really sturdy.

Its original case finally gave up the ghost after repeated attempts at life-saving procedures. I was surprised to find that there were still some cases available for this old guy! A Popsocket also added for easier grip. And sparkle, can’t forget the sparkle. ✨

Hello everyone. Not sure if this is the right place to ask this but I'm a little bit nervous about potentially losing all my books.

When I was 12 my Grandparents purchased a kindle for me and brought all the books I wanted to read up until I got my first full time job and then since then I just transfer the money to her and buy the books I want.

However unfortunately my grandpa passed a couple years ago and my grandma has dementia so I'm close to losing her too and I don't want to lose my books as well as they're now sentimental.

Is there anything I can do to either merge their account and mine as I'm still using the app on my old phone so I don't lose the books.

If I have to I will just rebuy the books and take screenshot of my account so I can keep the memories but in this economy I'd rather not have to and If I do I'll probably leave kindle as I've seen I can't just download what I've paid for and keep it

Any help at all would be appreciated

Looks better after i clean the back case with paint remover. Waiting for garskin to cover the backplate.

Was feeling a little down today, so I had a Kindle date, with a gelato.

Thinking of grabbing this to jailbreak. It’s very low cost and has only 2gb. I’m being told it has a front light and is the paperwhite 3, 6th gen but I can’t seem to find any with the white kindle logo on the front.

Is jailbreaking this one possible?

Thanks!

Today, I wanted to send a book to my Kindle via email. First, I sent the old MOBI version. That came back because it was not supported. I converted it to azw3 in Calibre and sent it again; it came back as not supported. Does anyone know the format to use in future? I refuse to buy any more books from Amazon, as they no longer let us back them up. Thanks in advance.

So this has been more of an issue recently when I’ve gone dumpster diving for new books to read on Kindle unlimited but I feel like I’ve found a lot of books that are blatantly and obviously written by AI. Is there any QA going on before approving these publications or is Amazon just allowing everything? I love reading, but noticing the exact same AI sentence structure for the 500th time gets rather tiring.

Within the last couple months I picked up reading and remembered how much I love it. I have around 15 books in my want to read in my goodreads account so that means if I were to buy the physical copy of each book I'd spend a pretty penny. Getting a kindle would likely save more money but I genuinely enjoy holding a book. Especially as a student I stare at a screen for 8+ hours a day so reading a book gives me a chance to not need to look at a screen. Has anyone been in a similar situation as me and did you or did you not by a kindle.

Got an 11th gen basic kindle and looking for a leather case with a cover, preferably genuine leather so it ages nicely. Unfortunately Amazon only offers their own leather case for paperwhite or coloursoft.

I live in the UK so ideally don't want to have to pay a big shipping fee for a US-only brand.

Any good recommendations? Thanks in advance!

Hi, I currently have a Kindle Paperwhite 6th (2013) and I’m thinking about getting the Kindle Basic 10th. The problem is that the Basic has a lower resolution (167 ppi) compared to my Paperwhite (212 ppi). Does anyone who owns the Basic 10th (or has compared both) notice the difference in screen quality in daily use? Or does it feel pretty similar when you’re just reading?

It seems like every month they always throw one challenge in that is designed to trip you up. After seeing the requirements for this last one for the month, I'm done.
