This Kindle is perfect for newbies to the e ink screen world.Here is my honest opinion and a few things I have learned.
DESCRIPTION:
Okay, so the Kindle you will get in the box is handy-small enough to carry anywhere without much trouble.You can read it while travelling by bus or when you just have nothing else to do(eg.waiting for the frigging bus to pick me up)It has no backlight and that can be a plus or a minus, ..I find it is okay even without a backlight as I just sit under a lamp and read.Not really too big .It is a great nifty gadget.
I WISH SOMEONE HAD TOLD ME THIS BEFORE I STARTED USING MY KINDLE BUT-
IT IS FREE.
Just download the calibre application to your laptop and add books to its library(stored on your laptop) it will optimise the books for your kindle-especially if you usually download free e-books like me,It also finds cover pages for books and fills in meta data(this is extremely useful) and helps keep track of your books on the Kindle device.
-KEEP your Kindle on aeroplane mode most of the time to save battery :D
-If you have Bluetooth speakers, use it to activate VOICE READING mode, I love this feature in the kindle,The voice is female and sounds good,a lil annoying sometimes but worth it once she gets to the main content. .(I have a SOUNDPOT BY PORTRONICS which works well,However ,the kindle 2016 didn't detect my Bluetooth soundpeats Q7 earphones.sigh.
Please buy it a cover, I got mine in white and it is more obvious how delicate this device is..so I got a black cover for 250 bucks on amazon.
Note: The device is manufactured abroad but "assemble in China" ;p if you know what I mean.
Overall it is a great device, I hope it lasts at least 5 years.
