A compact, durable basic e-reader that does the essentials well.
Read Trusted Reviews review - 80TechRadar
The reviewer finds the 2024 Kindle a snappier but barely changed entry-level e-reader, a fine option yet poor value next to rivals given the price increase.

A great basic e-reader in a fun Matcha color, with a brighter screen, faster page turns and long battery life.
