## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between a kindle that is front lit & back lit? What does front light and back light mean?**
A: Devices like smartphones and tablets are backlit: the light shines from behind up into your eyes. On the Kindle, the light shines from the front edges onto the reading surface. This is easier on your eyes than a backlit display (at least according to some people).

**Q: Is there a charger included? Both usb and electrical outlet?**
A: I noticed that the newer Kindles do not come with a charger although a very short cable is included.  My recommendation is to go out and purchase an Apple charger.  They are highly regulated in voltage/current output and literally stops charging when battery capacity is full.  I know this as I would set the Kindle on charge using an Apple charger and 1 or 2 hours later, the indicator light on the Kindle is green and the charger is cool to the touch.  Try it you will be pleased.

**Q: Exploring the right new Kindle for my 93 year old mother with macular degeneration. A new device will need excellent clarity, and audio capability?**
A: I know this answer is too late to help the original inquirer, but for anyone else with this problem, please get a Fire 10 inch tablet and use the Kindle app there. There’s no requirement that you use any other apps, so it can work just as a Kindle reader. The text can be made larger allowing for more than three words per line; the brightness can be adjusted as well as putting it in night and day mode; and the larger size is easier to hold. This also provides excellent audio for Kindle books as well as any podcasts. I loved my Paperwhite until I had a mild stroke at 45 which diminished my eyesight overnight and made reading just too annoying - by the time I got the font size maxed out an average paragraph wouldn’t fit on a page and the text was still a bit small. I definitely recommend spending a little more and sizing up for anyone facing a similar situation.

**Q: is the print size expandable?**
A: Yes you can change the size of the print.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Feels Like Home At Last (again)
*by T***. on May 13, 2020*

I made the mistake of replacing my 2012 Paperwhite with the latest generation and every night I felt like throwing it into the wall and splintering it into a thousand pieces. The user interface was horrible and with no raised border I was always drifting a finger over the edge of the screen and fanning through the pages. I finally had enough and returned it for the basic Kindle.That reader arrived today and it feels just like home again. The basic Kindle has all the features of the 2012 model with the addition of being able to pinch to zoom the text. The "print" quality is just fine. I don't read any graphic novels, magazines, or newspapers on my Kindle so I don't need the higher resolution to be able to see illustrations in higher quality. The LED lighting is every bit as good as the original Paperwhite. The only feature I really appreciated on the latest generation Paperwhite was the ability to display the current time at the top of the screen. I am a late-night reader and having the time handy keeps me from reading until dawn. I know I can still crank my neck around to look at a clock, but it was a nice treat to be able to just glance at the top of the screen.The other advantage of the basic Kindle is during the initial setup, it syncs up your library and doesn't give you that two-part option of seeing you entire library or what has been downloaded to the reader.I read through the negative reviews and don't find a single one valid. I think that the folks that are experiencing low battery life are probably not putting it in the Airplane mode. The Paperwhite has a longer battery life but if it is not put in the Airplane mode it will die pretty fast as well.As far as the memory space goes, I had one of the very first Kindles with either 2 or 4 gigs of memory and even with my large library, I never got close to filling it. And by the way, if it does start getting too full, just remove the books you have already read. They will just revert back to the online Amazon cloud for storage and you can retrieve them anytime you want to read them again.The bottom line...this is a budget-friendly basic reader that has all the advantages of the Paperwhite with none of the aggregation. Maybe it's not waterproof, but having owned Kindles since they first came out, I have never once gotten one so wet that it caused a problem. Don't pay for more Ereader than you need.EDIT 5/15/2020 Two nights of reading on the basic Kindle reader and I don't notice any difference between it and the Gen 7 Paperwhite. The battery life seems to be comparable and the best of the updates to the latest generation of the Paperwhite have been incorporated into this new basic model. I don't notice any difference in the screen resolution. I guess if I had compared both with a magnifying glass it might be noticeable...who knows.It took hours to incorporate my library into the Paperwhite since there were two pages you had to flip between. One page displayed all the books in your library. If you wanted one of the books in your library you had to select it and then it would transfer over to the Downloaded page. The basic Kindle shows the library and if you click on a book it just downloads it and highlights it on the same page. Everything that has been completed shows up as Read.So far I haven't found a single thing that I dislike about the basic reader and it doesn't have a single thing on it I hated about the latest Paperwhite. If you feel like you just have to have a Paperwhite then I would suggest you search Amazon for the Gen 7 or Gen 8. If you can't find them there you can still get Gen 8 Paperwhites listed as in NEW condition from Ebay.UPDATE Aug. 3, 2020: My Kindle reader is still functioning perfectly and I still love it, however, over the last day or so the mysterious crack in the case seen in the photos has materialized. I can't figure how how it happened since the reader is constantly kept in the case and spends most of the time in a nightstand by the bed. I read it for a hour or more every evening and naturally connect it to the charger when needed. It has NEVER been dropped or handled roughly so I have absolutely no idea what caused the case to crack.Has anyone else experienced something like this with your reader?

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Going strong in 2025
*by I***  on May 20, 2025*

It's now 2025 and this kindle is going strong. I've had no issues with it. It's small enough to go into my bag, hold with one hand to read, and even has a dyslexia font that makes it easier for me. Downloading books is at the push of a button. Won't upgrade until I have to and that doesn't seem to be happening anytime soon.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love My Kindle
*by Y***Y on May 26, 2025*

Love my Kindles. This is my purse kindle. Perfect size. Not heavy and works wherever I need it. Love being able to adjust the print and backlighting. Nothing compares to size and weight of the kindle.
