Hello everyone. I saw so many of you showing your new Kindle and here is my very first. Question for everyone that got them self first Kindle, what was your first book you started to read on it? And what book would you recommend?

I’ve just been gifted a lovely mint/matcha coloured kindle for my birthday and I am SO excited to use it!!

I crocheted a sleeve for my books a couple months ago and today I’ve added a little matching inside pocket for my kindle. It’s not the best but I’m happy with it for now while I don’t have a kindle case.

I’m still figuring out how to use it etc so let me know if there’s any tips for a new kindle user. Also if anyone has recommendations for cute kindle cases that won’t break the bank let me know!

New Kindle setup, because apparently I can’t leave it alone for too long 😂

Guys I bought my first every kindle a 11 th generation base model idk where to start from !!

What’s everyone picking for sept 2026 first reads? I got the short read and I’m debating between Trust No One or Watch Her Run.

Finally joined the Kindle family 😄 Been reading a lot on my iPad lately, but the battery, weight, and distractions were starting to get annoying. Was torn between this and other e-readers but then this made the most sense in the country I am with the sale and current prices. Picked up a Paperwhite Kids as it was on sale lol; before the price hike and well there was free cover🫣. The experience quite amazing. Super satisfied with my decision. Excited to give my books a proper little home now. 😌

Hello!

I am currently feeling conflicted, please share your thoughts on this matter.

Right now I have used Kindle Paperwhite 10th gen, 32GB, in very good condition. Essentially almost ideal, no scratches, not slow, no issues or anything, except battery drains just slightly faster than a brand new Kindle, but it's non-issue, as it still holds for weeks. Honestly, it's amazing and I love it.

The issue at hand is that I am saving money and originally wanted to save for a tablet (Honor Pad 10), but I came to realize that I really wish to have Kindle Paperwhite 12th gen, Metallic Raspberry. The tablet is, in my country, 290€~, but I see Kindle PW 12th gen, mr, for 202€.

If I change plans and decide to buy the new Kindle, I will sell my older one, of course.

Now I feel very conflicted and genuinely am not sure, especially as I already have perfectly working Kindle. I feel like it's unreasonable to buy the Kindle and it makes sense to buy tablet, as originally planned, but I really wish to have the 12th gen Metallic Raspberry. I love e-readers with all my heart, especially Kindle and am wondering. I also feel pulled by the price of 202€ (at the moment it is) as on many other internet shops it's quite much more - 250€~, and 202€ seems like a steal.

Can someone convience to buy/not buy Kindle/tablet, reason with me?

Thank you!

Hi everyone!
I’m an OG Kindle lover. I had one of the old school ones with a typing keyboard, when that got stolen, I bought a 7th gen one second hand. She’s still going strong and I love her. HOWEVER, I recently borrowed my Dad’s old paper white (not sure what gen, just know she was dinky and no longer supported by software) and it’s made me want to upgrade mine so I can read at night as opposed to reading on my phone with a red light filter. BUT the new paper white models feel HUGE. Is the new kindle original good for reading in the dark? I quite like the warm light feature on PW. Size is important to me (lol) as I like something I can chuck in my bag and hold in one hand. My husband recently got a kobo and loves it. I’m torn. To add another layer to the decisions, my neighbour is selling her 6th gen paper white which I’m also tempted by.
Help me decide please! Thanks!!

Y’all I’m distraught 😭 my Paperwhite is stuck on the lock screen and I feel like I’ve tried every troubleshooting option I could find with no luck. I was reading yesterday on my lunch just fine and then about 3 hours later, it was stuck. It had about 80% charge so I know it didn’t die. So far I have tried holding the power button for 40 seconds, holding it for 60 seconds, holding it for 90 seconds. I tried the holding for 40 and then 60 and cycling through that several times. Left it charged overnight. Plugged it into my computer. Even put it in the freezer because I saw some people have results with that 😭 of course this would happen right after the price hikes lmao anyone have any other suggestions or is she just bricked?

There’s been a lot of rumours on sites, based off the last Kindle Basic being in 2022, and the Matcha colour in 2024.

It will be exciting, to see if there’s anything at all.

Hi so I'm a 14 year old teenager, and I'm turning fifteen in a couple months. I read A LOT (Like a lot, most of it online bit around 320 pages a day)

Most of that is on my computer, like e-books or fanfiction. My questions is what kind of kindle would be best to buy if I want to acess sites such as ao3?

I just got the basic kindle and idk maybe I’m holding it wrong, but it’s not comfortable one handed. Has anyone found a case where you can attach a pop socket or something to the back, but also has a front closure (or is the screen a non issue for scratches if thrown in a bag etc). Every one I find I like it for the bigger model.

I’m a huge lover of a physical book but with a newborn it’s impossible to get my reading in so I caved and got a kindle. Also got this stand and a page turner so I can easily read when feeding her or stuck during a contact nap 🩷

I tested it and it works on every color and on more than one at a time. I'm in the US, if that matters.

Code: DHHJSW7Z

DATAFY page turner on Amazon

$4.10 at checkout.

Edit: The code works again! It's now $4.50 with the code.

I mean offline way to do it, online seems overly complicated not because its hard to setup but its so hard and non intuitive to access besides pdf has tick features but does it work??

I have a pixel 7a on Android 17 but every time I try to install kindle app i get this error. Does anyone know how i can fix it?

Hi! I have a 10th gen oasis. Lately, like the last few months, it’s been super glitchy. Like I’ll open it to read and it’s just a blank screen. Or it will get stuck on a page, or just won’t load pages when I use the multi page view.

Are these signs of the end? I know it’s not getting most updates anymore. I have restarted it a few times since these issues started but it doesn’t seem to help much.

The original Micro-USB port had become unreliable and would barely connect for charging, so I decided to retrofit it with USB-C.

It definitely wasn’t easy, the pads are absolutely tiny, but after a few attempts, it finally worked. USB-C retrofit successfully completed ✌🏻

Hi! Today I've tried jailbreaking my Paperwhite 1 using Winterbreak2 at first as the guide suggested, and obviously failed doing that. So then I tried downgrading to 5.4.4 and using the K5 JB. This time, I could actually jailbreak the device, so I ran the Hotfix, rebooted my device, and installed MRPI (for modern devices) and PEKI following the guide. MRPI seems to work fine (at least it lets me run the ```;log mrpi``` command), but I can't launch KUAL. It doesn't throw any errors or visible exceptions, it just refreshes my homescreen.

I've tried deleting the PEKI version of KUAL recommended for Kindles 5 and older and tried using the older version (the one with the .azw2 extension), and at least that older version throws an error saying that the content couldn't be opened by my Kindle.

Does anyone have any idea what could I be doing wrong?

Edit: Also, forgot to mention that ;kpm commands like ```;kpm update``` don't seem to work either :(

I wanted to raise a feature request for Amazon because I think this would make the Kindle ecosystem much better for people who use multiple devices.

My setup is:

• 💻 Linux laptop
• 📱 Android phone/tablet
• 📖 Kindle e-reader

I regularly use Send to Kindle to send my own EPUBs and PDFs to my Kindle library. Once I send a document, I can read it on my Kindle and on the Kindle Android app, and my reading progress, highlights and notes can sync between them.

The problem is when I want to read the same book on my Linux laptop.

The problem

There is no official Kindle app for Linux, so the obvious option is to use Kindle for Web in the browser.

But Kindle for Web doesn't show my Personal Documents. It mainly gives me access to Kindle Store books, while the EPUBs/PDFs I've sent through Send to Kindle aren't available there.

So I end up with something like:

Kindle e-reader → Personal Documents ✅
Android Kindle app → Personal Documents ✅
Kindle Web → Personal Documents ❌
Linux → No official Kindle app ❌

This feels like an unnecessary limitation because Amazon already stores these documents in the Kindle cloud and syncs them between supported devices.

What I'd like Amazon to do

Option 1: Add Personal Documents support to Kindle for Web.

That alone would solve the problem for Linux users, because we could simply use the web reader.

Option 2: Even better, release an official Kindle app for Linux.

Ideally, I want to be able to send an EPUB/PDF once through Send to Kindle and then access the same book from my Kindle, Android device and Linux computer — with my reading position, highlights and notes synced everywhere.

I don't think this should require a completely different ecosystem. Amazon already has most of the infrastructure; it just needs to be extended to Kindle Web/Linux.

Would other Kindle users, especially Linux users, find this useful?

If yes, it would be great if we could upvote this or send similar feedback to Amazon so they know there is demand for it.
