One thing I’ve noticed about the base Kindle—the 10th gen model with a frontlight that was released in 2019—is the plastic casing material is prone to scuffs and scratches. In fact you can permanently scratch the plastic just by lightly running a fingernail across it. I never noticed how easily it scratches before, and considering […]

What is Going On With the Entry-Level Kindle?
Something weird is going on with the product page of the entry-level Kindle at Amazon. Could Amazon be preparing to release a new version? Or is somebody just asleep at the wheel? A few days ago Amazon changed the title on the description page for the entry-level Kindle to include this: 2019 release, 9th Gen. […]
Kindle Now Comes With Double the Storage Space
The entry-level Kindle with a frontlight, also known as the 10th generation Kindle that was released in 2019, now officially comes with 8GB of storage space instead of 4GB, at least that’s the case in the United States. The actual usable storage space is closer to 6.2GB because the operating system uses some of that […]

The device originally came with 4GB of storage space, and that’s still what Amazon advertises on the official product page and on their Kindle comparison […]
Frontlit Kindle on Sale for $64, Kindle Paperwhite $89, Covers on Sale Too
Kindles are finally on sale for everyone! Last week I posted about how Amazon hasn’t had a regular Kindle sale for non-Prime members since the beginning of June, and now that streak finally ends. The new frontlit entry-level Kindle that was released back in April is marked down to $64.99, which is $25 off the […]
The Kindle’s Frontlight is Worth Half a Star, Apparently
Since Amazon never releases any Kindle sales figures, it’s impossible to tell how well one particular model is selling compared to another model, especially when it comes to previous generation Kindles. Amazon says the Kindle Paperwhite is their best-selling Kindle, and that’s not hard to figure out since it sits atop the Kindle best seller […]
