Features
Kindle is designed as a dedicated e-reader. Indulge your love of reading without interruptions like email alerts and push notifications
Thin and light for one-handed reading
New—Kindle is 11% thinner and 16% lighter than the previous generation Kindle, making it easy and comfortable to hold in one hand.
No eye strain, reads like real paper
Kindle uses actual ink particles and proprietary, hand-built fonts to create crisp text similar to what you see in a physical book. The blacks and whites on the screen are uniform, improving text and image quality.
Unlike tablets, no blue light to disturb your sleep
Studies have shown that evening exposure to blue light from backlit screens like tablets and smartphones can suppress the body’s production of melatonin, a naturally occurring hormone that helps the body fall asleep. Because the Kindle display emits no light, you can read anytime without losing sleep.
No glare in bright sunlight
Unlike reflective tablet and smartphone screens, the high contrast touchscreen display eliminates glare in any setting—even direct sunlight.
Battery lasts weeks, not hours
A single battery charge allows you to read for weeks, not hours.
Millions of books, no distractions
Kindle is designed as a dedicated e-reader. Indulge your love of reading without interruptions like email alerts and push notifications.
Now with Audible - Take the story with you
New - Now you can listen to the world’s largest library of audiobooks on your Kindle—anytime, anywhere, while traveling, cooking, or when you just want to rest your eyes. Pair with Bluetooth to move seamlessly from reading to listening.
Experience world-renowned performances
Listen to A-list celebrities narrate your favorite titles, enjoy full-cast ensemble performances, discover Grammy award-winning audiobooks, and more.
Flip through books while saving your place
Page Flip makes it easy to find pictures, charts, maps and even your notes and highlights from different parts of a book. While you swipe to other pages or zoom out to see page thumbnails, Page Flip automatically saves the page you’re reading, pinning it to the side of your screen so you’ll never lose your place.
Sharp, dark text
Enjoy text that reads like the printed page. Our fonts, such as Bookerly, have been hand-tuned at the pixel level for maximum readability.
Export and share notes
It’s now easy to export notes and highlights from a book to your e-mail, so you can always have them on-hand for reference. Receive your notes both as an easily printable PDF that’s ready to bring to your book club, and as a simple file you can open in your favorite spreadsheet app.
Read comfortably with one hand
Lighter than a paperback, comfortably hold Kindle in one hand for those times when you can’t put the book down.
Lose yourself in a book
By design, Kindle is purpose-built for reading and creates a sanctuary so you can lose yourself in a book. Unlike tablets and phones, Kindle doesn’t distract you with social media, emails, and text messages.
Look it up instantly without leaving your page
Smart Lookup integrates entries from The New Oxford American Dictionary with information from X-Ray and Wikipedia, so you can access definitions, characters, settings, and more without losing your place.
Read more challenging books
Word Wise makes it easier to enjoy and quickly understand more challenging books. Short and simple definitions automatically appear above difficult words, so you can keep reading with fewer interruptions. Tap on a word to bring up a simple card with definitions, synonyms, and more. Available on many popular English language titles.
Build your vocabulary
Words looked up in the dictionary are automatically added to Vocabulary Builder to expand your knowledge and reinforce retention. Swipe through your vocabulary words, quiz yourself with flashcards, and instantly see those words in context.
Pick up where you left off
Whispersync technology synchronizes your last page read, bookmarks, and annotations across all your devices so you can pick up exactly where you left off reading.
Learn more about a book before you start reading
With About This Book, see background information about the author, other books in the series, and more.
Adjust your text size
Choose from eight text sizes to prevent tired eyes and keep you reading longer.

Share with friends on Goodreads
With Goodreads on Kindle, you can connect with the largest online community of book lovers, see what your friends are reading, share highlights, and rate the books you read. Some Goodreads on Kindle features are only available when connected to Wi-Fi.
X-Ray lets you explore the "Bones of the Book"
See all the passages across a book that mention relevant ideas, fictional characters, historical figures, places, or topics of interest. The X-Ray timeline view lets you easily flip through notable passages to remind yourself of what’s happened in the book, or navigate easily through images.
Know how long it will take to finish that last chapter
Time to Read is personalized based on your reading speed, and is constantly updated as your speed and habits change. At a glance you’ll know how much time it will take to finish a chapter or book.

What does Scratch & Dent really mean?
We get this inventory directly from our counterparts at Amazon. When they receive returns or trade-in devices, they grade them on a scale from "Used - Like New" all the way to "Used - Unacceptable". What we've found is that their "Unacceptable" is a misnomer, and really just means it has 5 or more areas of scuffs, dents, dings, or scratches.
So my box will say 'Used - Unacceptable'? Why would I buy something that says "Unacceptable"?
The term 'Unacceptable' in the real world and 'Unacceptable' in Amazon-land mean 2 totally different things. In this sense, it's strictly an objective term for a device with 5 or more areas that are scuffed, dented, dinged, or scratched. Total. Front or Back or combined from Both. That's it. Don't believe us? Look at the pictures in the Photo Gallery. That's what Amazon's unacceptable looks like.
Fine, but what does this mean for me (the customer)?
Basically, you get to purchase a legit Amazon device for a steep discount. It may not be the newest model, and it may have some scratches character, but it has been fully tested by Amazon themselves...not some guy in their garage.
I want to give this as a gift. Can you just mark out the 'Used - Unacceptable' on mine?
We'll do you one better. We'll put a sticker over it. We can't guarantee that an annoying inquisitive person won't peel the sticker off to reveal the truth, but we tried.
Well, if you're putting a sticker over the 'Used - Unacceptable' label, why go through all of this?
We just want to be straight with you. If we got a box from someone we trust and it said "Unacceptable", we'd be hella butthurt about it. But, if you told us upfront about it and why it has to be what way, we'd be cool.
TLDR; We treat you the way we'd want to be treated.
