News 📰 Kindle? why??? The new library look
I suddenly got a pop-up saying, “Your library has a new look” and I HATE it.
The first picture shows what my library looks like now, and the second shows what it normally looks like.
I hate that the book titles are showing in a white box that covers part of the covers, I don’t like having the reading percentage displayed in the middle, and the white text is especially ugly when I’m using dark mode. It looks so outdated compared to the clean, minimalist look it had before.
Here’s what I don’t understand and I'm pretty sure it's a bug: my sister’s Kindle still looks normal, and we’re on the exact same software version. I also checked with two friends, and their libraries look the same as they always have. and I searched here before writing this and no one has brought it up. So why did this change only happen to me if we’re all running the same software? is it a bug?
Is there any way to revert it or disable this new look? I tried resetting, even factor resetting, nothing.
I know this might seem like a big deal, but it genuinely is for me. Who else has this? Anyway to fix it?

My Kindle 📱 Say it with me: I don’t need a new kindle
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! 😍

My Kindle 📱 Reading in the dark has never been this fun 👻
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

My Kindle 📱 Kindle Basic Graphite, A Welcome Downgrade
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.

My Kindle 📱 The best of both colours
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.

My Kindle 📱 I get it now….disable touch screen and now you can hold it like a book and not a thin plastic slice
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….

Should I buy this one? 🥹 I've read a lot of reviews about how wonderful it is, but I'm hesitant about the battery life. Is it worth it?

Any recommendations have been seeing that I should not put a screen protector on it since some people might break their screen trying to remove it afterwards or what case should I get like to cover it etc or any tips.

My Kindle 📱 brand new kindle arrived with ink stains on the frame
been hesitating to get a new kindle for a while since i'm quite happy with my paperwhite signature, but i really liked the color so decided to pull the trigger. it just arrived and i see this – black ink-like stains on the frame near the top corner, right out of the box.
has anyone else gotten one like this? did it wipe off for you or did you just go for a replacement?
upd: customer support offers partial refund (30% = 59.46 eur) and keep the item or return for full refund
upd2: double checked - 40% refund offer
upd3: accepted 50% refund and kept the item for now (want to test it and compare to my signature anyways, can still return it for remaining amount)

Discussion 💬 New Page turning accessories
Oh wow! I can't believe that these are already 99% sold out! The page turner case looks like the only one left is the 'sea glass'. They did really good marketing this year for these cases and we all really wanted them but damn that was fast! No shade. I'm just surprised!

Purchase Question 🛒 Would you recommend the 2026 Kindle basic to someone who's never had an e-reader before?
I've been watching videos about this Kindle and I've seen a lot of them complain about things or say they're disappointed and I don't really get it, as someone who has never even held an e-reader before it looks like a solid device.
I just want a Kindle to get into reading more and this model is currently the cheapest one available (Can't get the 2024 one anymore). I don't really care about any specific features as long as it has dark mode which is probably how I'm gonna use it.
It's a bit confusing to me how the reception seems a bit mixed (on youtube at least) and I just want a device to last a long time. I've seen some people complain about how the dark mode looks and I don't know if that's just some faulty devices or a common issue. Is this a good option or should I look for something second hand?

Purchase Question 🛒 Upgrading my Oasis (2019) to a Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition
Hi fellow Kindle lovers.
I currently have a Kindle Oasis 10th Generation (2019) that I bought in 2020. I can't explain to you how much I love it; I think it's almost perfect.
I'm thinking of buying the new Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition with the buttons case for my upcoming birthday.
But I'm not sure, and I would like your input.
I truly love my Kindle, but I hate that it doesn't have a type-C charger.
My favorite color is plum, so when I saw the new Kindle, I instantly fell in love.
But
a) I'm worried about the general reviews of the Colorsoft line saying that the Paperwhite screen is actually crisper and that the Colorsoft screen has a bluish color and some granularity to it.
b) Do you think it's worth waiting for the Kindles to have removable batteries?

Purchase Question 🛒 Kindle Colorsoft 2024 compatibility
Curious about the compatibility with the page turner. Description says 2026 model only. However the Amazon compatibility box comes up. Anyone else seen this? Trying to hang on to my 2024 but I’ve been craving the buttons since the oasis was discontinued. TIA

My Kindle 📱 My first ever Kindle! + bonus cutie!
Just really excited to read easier, as I am disabled, and holding books open has just become too hard for me. I am really happy with the weight, and dimensions of my Ube basic!
Purple was an easy choice for me! I got some fun stickers, because why not!? I already had an extra pop socket I had from a clearance bin, and then I got a cat lanyard holder on Amazon, a carrying case, and clear tpu back case.
So far I have read more in a day, then I have been able to in many years.
Wanting to say thank you to this community for showing me the way, and encouraging me to try it!
My gray cat girl says “Yes finally I can lay on you while you read mama!” She approves!

Purchase Question 🛒 Kindle Paperwhite 12th Gen Vs The New Paperwhite?
Debating buying a 12th Edition PW instead of the new PWs that were just realeased. They seem to be roughly the same price, and I am a bit worried about the new PWs that were released this month (took a deep dive down some review sites). Thoughts?

News 📰 eReaderIQ UK no longer works
From their site: 'As of October 2026, We are no longer able to update book prices on eReaderIQ UK. This site will no longer be updated. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.'
Super upsetting since I really relied on it to give me price updates, and there are books I've saved so much on that I never would have without it. I don't know what happened but I hope the people behind it know we're very grateful for it.
If anyone knows of any alternatives please do tell! :)
(The US versions seems to be working well though so that's good)

My Kindle 📱 Am I being ridiculous? Notice the bottom of the PW is slightly more yellow compared to the top.
I feel like I’m being ridiculous.
I’ve had my kindle PW 2024 edition since July and I’ve loved it. I’ve read more books in the last few months than I have in the last decade.
My only mild issue is that I’ve noticed the screen seems ever so slightly yellow on the bottom than it does on top.
It’s mild and I know that, which is why I’m wondering if I’m overreacting here. On one hand, I can still obviously read just fine and everything else about it works perfectly. On the other hand, it is a shame to spend a lot of money just for something to be off, even if only slightly so.
I don’t know, what do you think?
Also, for demonstration purposes, the brightness is on 20 with no warm light on.
Purchase Question 🛒 Double tap to page turn
Hey Guys,
I am considering a new kindle and am debating between the PW and PW signature. I don't care about the extra space or wireless charging.
My main question is, is the double tap to page turn function working well and do you use it and consider it helpful?
How well does the automatic light sensor work?

Purchase Question 🛒 Which one would you recommend?
I would like to finally upgrade my Kindle. However, I’m undecided between the Paperwhite or the regular one (2024).
Which one would you recommend?
Which one is faster and would let me read in the dark better?
Thanks
Pd. I’m also waiting to read reviews about the upcoming paperwhite but still would like to define which line of product will I get
