A viable alterantive to "the book".
My first foray into the realm of Kindle. I've been a "book" person for a long time. A relative of mine, also a hardcore "book" person, took the plunge recently and discovered life with a Kindle is good. So I decided to give it a try. Bought a (like new) used Kindle (11th Gen) ...the basic model ...and yes, there is life in reading without the "book". The basic Kindle is light as a feather; the *screen* measures 5 13/16" tall by 3 9/16" wide ...giving a 7" diagonal screen. The overall dimensions are 6 3/16" tall by 4 3/16" wide. I thought this seemed a bit on the small side but I haven't had any issues reading with it. What it does do is make the thing incredibly portable; you can stuff or carry the Kindle just about anywhere. Battery life is very long and, if you opt out of the ads, probably a bit longer. The ads are for books and *only* appear on the cover screen; you will *not* be getting any ads once you sign in and wake up your Kindle. For a small, one-time fee ($15?) you can banish the cover screen ads permanently if you have a Kindle with the cover screen ads. Readability with the no-frills Kindle is better than reading a book. Why? Because you can change the font and, more importantly, change the size of the font. Your only image adjustment is brightness. The basic Kindle has a black and white presentation ...enhanced by the fact the "white" is actually more of a warm white than a bight white. Whomever researched the contrast and background tonality level hit the nail on the head. The best part of the Kindle, is you can read at night without the need for any external lighting. And no, your eyes won't get tired reading in the dark once you dial in the brightness level. Handling the basic Kindle can be a bit of a challenge as the sides aren't very wide; it can be easy to accidentally touch the screen, which advances the page before you intend to. In addition, the Kindle is fairly thin. Consider adding a flip open cover; it will add a bit of purchase and makes holding the Kindle a lot easier. Plus, most of these flip open covers have a magnetic catch that keeps the cover closed and puts the Kindle in standby. Using the Kindle is fairly easy once you get the gestures squared away ...the biggest to learn is turning back the page because you will invariably and inadvertently advance the page when you didn't mean to. The other thing you need to understand is you must have the Kindle app on your cell or computer; this is how you download your reading material. The Kindle is linked via Bluetooth to your download device; this is how it gets the "books" loaded to read or add to your library. To some this will be intuitive, to others (like myself) a wee bit of rocket science; call it generational. Overall, I have no complaints with the basic Kindle; it does exactly what I want and that is to offer a viable reading experience other than a book.

Sehr guter generalüberholter Kindle – wie neu, aber mit kleinerer Akkulaufzeit als erwartet
Ich habe mich für den zertifizierten und generalüberholten Kindle entschieden und bin sehr positiv überrascht, wie neu das Gerät wirkt. Keine Kratzer, kein Gebrauchsspuren – man merkt wirklich nicht, dass es kein Neugerät ist. Der Kindle ist extrem leicht und kompakt, ideal für unterwegs oder längere Lesesessions. Der blendfreie Bildschirm ist wie gewohnt hervorragend und auch das schnellere Umblättern macht das Lesen angenehm flüssig. Das einstellbare Frontlicht ist praktisch, vor allem abends. Ein kleiner Punkt, den man wissen sollte: Die Akkulaufzeit erreicht bei mir nicht die oft genannten hohen Werte. Realistisch hält der Akku bei regelmäßiger Nutzung ungefähr bis zu zwei Wochen, was für mich aber immer noch völlig in Ordnung ist und schnell nachgeladen ist. Insgesamt ein hochwertiges Gerät zu einem guten Preis – wer keinen brandneuen Kindle braucht, bekommt hier eine sehr gute Alternative.

Auch generalüberholt einfach toll!
Ich habe mir das Kindle zusätzlich zu meinem Paperwhite gebraucht für einen super Preis gekauft. Der Zustand ist bis auf einen ganz kleinen Kratzer auf dem Display (bei der Akkuanzeige) in einem neuwertigen Zustand und funktioniert tadellos. Das Gerät an sich ist für unterwegs einfach genial, da es tatsächlich in die Hosentasche passt (wenn man das möchte). Auf Reisen oder im Bus finde ich die Größe genial und ich muss sagen, dass er bei längerem Halten sogar ein bisschen besser in der Hand liegt als der Paperwhite. Alles in allem ist es ein tolles Gerät und ich nutze meine Kindles sehr häufig.

The standard ereader
Pocket-able and capable. I had a Paperwhite (previous model) that stopped working and decided to buy the lower cost Kindle. I appreciate that the software is the same and does not feel too slow to get around; it is possi le to adjust the reading experience to your liking. The lockscreen ads aren't too distracting—though I may eventually pay to have them removed for a more seamless experience. The matcha colour is fun and does not take away from reading. Battery life is certainly less than the larger Paperwhite, but Aeroplane mode does noticeably extend it. The device is light and easy to hold.
