I hate when they change the book cover to movie / tv show adaptation covers 😤

Edit: yes I know other ebook retailers do this, I mentioned Amazon because obviously that’s where you buy kindle books.

The “before you go…” popup that covers the last page of the book is absolutely obscene. You pay for a kindle, you pay for the book, you read the book, and it interrupts you mid-sentence at the worst possible moment. Lose your train of thought, go back to re-read the beginning of the sentence on the prior page? That awful advertising popup will return every time. Truly outrageous that there seems to be no way to get to rid of it.

To be clear, I’m not talking about a popup coming after the acknowledgments etc. I’m talking about it covering the last page of the last chapter.

I can’t believe I’m once again finishing a brilliant book today but can’t enjoy or reflect on it properly because a monopoly is abusing their power to steal my attention in yet another way.

Edit to clarify: this is not a Kindle With Ads. I’m talking about the “before you go” popup that asks you to rate the book and recommends others. It doesn’t always cover the last page of the actual book, but this has now happened to me two books in a row. It’s not every book, so if you haven’t seen it, happy for you, but it is SOME books.

Still very much enjoying this new 2026 release. The color is not distracting at all which I did worry about a little bit. Always thought that any color besides black would be too distracting to read on, but that’s not the case here at all. Also love how grippy the device is with or without a case which is awesome. And the screen itself is stunning.

A couple of weeks ago I was able to snag a brand new Colorsoft (2024) with a 50% discount, probably because of the new lineup just released. There was a bundle with a cover and charger for dirt cheap, and I have to say, it looks sleek. I'll test it thoroughly during the coming weeks, but the first impression is amazing!

I’m trying really hard not to give in and buy a new kindle. I really want the new Colorsoft, but if there is no change to the screen I’m better off just sticking with the one I have.

I’ve managed to distract myself for the moment by making my own skin on my Cricut. She’s so pretty! 😍

I have never been able to use dark mode because of halation and astigmatism. For some reason I can read very comfortably in dark mode on the 2026 Kindle. I thought maybe something had changed with my eye sight so I tried dark mode again on my Colorsoft and Matcha, but still couldn't comfortably use it on either of them. I'm curious if anyone else has had the same experience. The black background seems darker on the 2026 Kindle. I'm not sure if that's what's making such a big difference, or if it has to do with the new display stack design.

Hello, I posted the other day about getting a kindle on sale that I missed so was going to wait until Black Friday. (Matcha 2024) however my husband surprised me after work today with the new UBE which is the cutest thing ever.

The person in the store he bought it from said it was with ads? As far as I was aware you couldn’t have book covers on the sleep screen if you bought the ads version? I checked Amazon and it says “special offers active” which I’m assuming is ads?
Also it came with no cable, is it safe to use my phone charger?

Thank you!

Don’t believe the app go look for yourself! My app said out of stock and it was in a clearance section in the electronics area.

It’s so crazy to me how well this device has held up, hardware wise I mean. I love the page turn buttons and I wish there were more devices that still used them on both sides.

Received my ARC for the 4th book in the amazing Spellshop series today. Perfect excuse to dive into a bit of cozy between spooky Halloween reads.

Just my “don’t care if I loose it” device on the trail.

Bought my kindle one month ago - used to read in my iPhone. And im so happy and satisfied with it that it’s now one of my favorite material possession. Now can’t imagine being without it. I love that i get to read at night, in cozy spaces because of it.

Enjoy reading my fellow - kindlings? 😂 XO

I have 12th gen and looking for a xmas present. thoughts?????

UPDATE: I got it! It was dirty lol but I just spent 30 mins cleaning it up and disinfecting and it’s perfect! Came with a kindle case too!

So I decided to wait for November sale and Xmas sale to buy the for scribe colorsoft to see if they’ll get any cheaper. I’ve been reading almost everyday and I wanted my experience to more comfortable so I bought a kindle pillow holder and a new bag to carry my kindle everywhere. I’m so excited to get it.

I mainly see people talking about the new Ube Kindle Basic so I thought I’d give the Graphite version some love. I’ve sold my 2024 Paperwhite because I prefer the size and weight of the basic. I really like how the graphite colour lets the covers and text pop. The case is by MoKo and fits really well, although I wish someone would make one without the bumps on the corners.

I just got the Oasis thank to a post here :) and I’ll never go back. Disable touch screen and now I can actually hold the device. I like to hold my Kindle in a way that my thumbs touch the screen.

Does anyone else prefer to hold the device like it’s a book and not a thin piece of plastic that if you touch it might lose your spot?

For future Kindles, I’d compromise physical buttons for a side tap or even back tap….

$54 at Target!

I usually read on my Oasis, but it's charging, so I opened my book on my Android phone. It sent me through a tip menu for "you can now annotate with a stylus!" and because I don't annotate my books, I just clicked through it without reading.

But then... I find THIS monstrosity overlaying the text on my page! I can drag it somewhere else on the page, where it will anchor itself to the edge...but I cannot remove it.

Please help. 🫩

I got the kindle basic premium in sea colour, but I like the Ube colour so just got the Ube case which is top quality.
