Amazon Kindle 16GB – the lightest e-book reader, black

Amazon Kindle (latest generation)

The lightest and most compact e-book reader in Amazon's lineup, intended for people who value easy carrying and simple operation. It has a 6-inch anti-glare display with an adjustable front light that is 25% brighter than in the previous model, as well as a dark mode.

Distraction-free reading

The device does not support social media, e-mail or app notifications, which makes it easier to focus solely on reading. Higher contrast and faster page turns are meant to improve reading comfort compared with earlier generations.

Battery

On a single charge, the battery is meant to last up to 6 weeks of use, depending on reading intensity and backlight settings.

Storage and the environment

16 GB of internal storage holds thousands of books, magazines and comics. The manufacturer emphasizes that the device contains a significant share of recycled plastics and metals, and that the packaging is mostly made of wood-fiber-based materials from responsibly managed sources.
