Amazon Kindle (11th Gen) Review | Still The Best Budget E-Reader in 2024?

Показать описание
Unboxing Amazon's 11th Generation Kindle, fresh for 2024 with a review of this budget Matcha Green e-Reader after using it for over a week. This all-new Kindle boasts a couple of upgrades vs the older models including a brighter display and improved battery life. It's not quite as long-lasting as the Paperwhite, but for under £100, this is one of the best affordable eReaders right now.

The new 11th Generation Kindle comes in two colours, Black and Matcha. You can also snaffle it with or without ads (which appear on the hibernation screen if you don't pay Amazon an extra tenner).

This 2024 model offers a new brighter screen, which is useful if you're sodding off on holiday. This Kindle's display is now just as bright as the Paperwhite's, while you also get crisp text and photo reproduction. Although comic fans may want to look at larger, colour e-Readers. The Amazon Kindle 2024 also serves up smooth performance, on the whole.

Battery life is also good, if not as great as the Paperwhite. The regular 11th Generation Kindle can serve up around 25 hours of reading action on a single charge.

Isn't one of the key things about an e-ink display that the better the light, the better the experience? If you're outside I don't understand why you'd need to up the brightness - it shouldn't need any back/front lighting at all. Maybe I'm missing something with this particular device, but my kindle doesn't need any light when using it outside/in a well lit environment.

Its currently on sale for £80 and if you have an older model kindle you can trade it in for a further 20% off and voucher between £5 and £20, bringing the cost down to £40-£55. Incredible deal. Edited to add: You can trade in multiple kindles to keep stacking the vouchers.

Amazon is just ridiculous with ads. Paid extra to remove ads from Prime Video, and it still shows ads, but give you an option to skip it.

I can't believe it's 2024, and the Kindle *STILL* has the power button on the bottom. In the exact spot your finger and hand rests so that every two minutes you accidentally turn the device off.

At 2:07 I notice you holding it in your left hand, if you were to use your right, your pinky finger would be right on the power button.

It seems ridiculously basic and obvious that the power button should be at the top, away from your hand and body. So you can rest it on a surface, your leg or body and read.

1:09 i never charged my Kindle at home to be honest, i always left that cable plugged in my workplace computer and just plugged it there during lunch and i never experienced running out of battery past 30%

Spend a wee bit more for Kobo Clara BW. Kills Kindle in utility unless you want to restrict yourself to Amazon ecosystem.

What do you mean by "still"? Kindle hasn't been the best option in many years. Primarily due to their software. The hardware is nice.

Looks nice but I'm not seeing much reason to upgrade mine...

Well the "screen brightness is enough for reading in bright sunlight" is a bit stupid in case of an e-ink display... In bright light theres no need for any screen brightness at all.

Is it possible to get a translation of whole sentences in a easy and fast way in a Kindle e-reader without opening a webb page? I wanna use it to read in spanish and need to be able to translate more than single words.

I wonder how many noticed that "Bat Boy" is the book our very own Uncle Spurt wrote. It was ok. 👍

After my kindle started fading and now it's readable I lost hope in buying another. No online fix that saying put it in the freezer that doesn't work

I had started to sell books on Amazon. I used Kindle for about 50 days and I earned more than 10, 000 USD, but I can't transfer to my bank account because I am a Sri Lankan. How can I get my money?

I got an old Nexus 7 tablet in great condition from eBay for $20 last week. What is the selling point of these dedicated E-readers? My tablet has better performance, a color screen, and the ability to run lots of other apps in addition to Kindle. It seems to me like buying an old Android tablet and flashing newer software onto it (e.g. LineageOS) would be a better value.
