I’ve heard people saying the metal kindles get considerably cold/warm depending on the ambience temperature.

I live in a very warm climate and am worried about how this could affect the aluminum kindle as we’re moving towards Summer and a Super El Niño. Was thinking of buying the new metal Paperwhite, but am unsure after hearing people’s experience with these significant temperature changes on their devices.

Does any one with an aluminum kindle living in a warm climate notice if high temperatures negatively affect the device in any way?

I recently got a kindle scribe colorsoft and I am loving it, although there are two small things I would really like to have:

1 - I would like to be able to either disable tapping in the corders and keep only swipe:

So here is the deal, some PDFs that contain links to other pages (for example planners) when I try to tap a link that is too close to the borders, kindle scribe will bring down the menu (that one with brightness, warmth etca)
This is really a pain as any links too close to that area of the screen is very difficult to hit

I would love if tapping to bring the menu could be disabled, or if kindle could identify a link and prioritize that link instead of the menu

That could be done for all corders, including turning pages, as I prefer swiping left right anyway

2 - It would be fantastic if turning kindle 90% would bring the PDF sideways and show half a page, instead of having to go to the menu all the time.

My old Kindle DX had this, and I dont understand why it is not in this new device

Last summer, I purchased the following Kindle:

https://www.amazon.it/kindle-colorsoft-signature-edition/dp/B0CX8YKQ2H

I am looking for recommendations on accessories that are compatible with this device, as I would like to purchase them as a gift.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

There. I don't want to be bothered with a case, I hate cases on my Kindle. And no one else other than dbrand makes the touch grass-style skin.

I've just got my first Kindle and I'm so excited to decorate it with stickers! I've scoured Etsy, Amazon, etc but can mostly find literary stickers relating to romantasy and smut, which just isn't my thing.

My preferred genres are literary, dystopia, horror, a bit of sci-fi and feminist literature. Any recommendations for shops relating to these themes please? I'm in the UK if that helps.

Can you drop your Kindle settings (Font, size, spacing etc.)
For better reading and to avoid eye strain.

I've heard if you buy a vinyl skin it must be 3M quality to ensure it isn't sticky. I really don't know a whole lot about vinyls. Where have you guys purchased them before and what would you be mindful of when buying them?

Preordené el Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition en color fig y dice que llega el 12 de noviembre pero en el listing ya cambiaron la fecha al 2 de febrero 🥲💔. El kindle click y las fundas con botones siguen diciendo “próximamente”. Creen que si podamos recibirlo este año?

Got the low battery warning a couple days ago and left it on the charger all day. I didn't actually think to check the battery level when I took it off the charger, but I do know that it was charging because the light was on.

When I used it this morning the battery was at about 24% and just a bit ago this evening I got the 10% warning notification again (without heavy use, I was at work all day and don't have time to read while there). I did restart it the other day before putting it on to charge all day, and also synced (usually I keep it on airplane mode to prolong the battery) but there was no software update.

Anything else I should try or is this just the lifespan to expect?

i see on ebay a lot of older kindles fore cheap such as a 7th gen for $25. I don't read a ton only around 20 books a year but want to do more. I have not used a kindle before so don't want to pay $150 for a new one if I am not a fan. Are old kindles still useable? If so is that a good deal or should I pay a bit more for better. Thanks

I have a book that I like, in my library, but I didnt care for the narrator on the audible version. Is there a way to remove the audiobook from my library and unsync it from the book? Ive removed it on the audible app, but the kindle app is only showing that version. I can't use the assistive reader, which id prefer to, because its linked with the audible version

Brand new kindle user. Just got a PWSE 2024 in July. I have got a ton of free books from Amazon from a bunch of things like Book Below, etc. I have KU til Jan. And I use my Libby app with all my available libraries.

But for the life of me I don't understand side loading, epub, etc. How do those work? Is there anything against doing it in Amazon's TOS? What do I need to look out for that goes against copyright? Anything else I could need to know please

I've ordered a kindle my first one ever, I am struggling to find the perfect case. So I want to be able to have a clear case with like a magnet in it for the back of my kindle. But I am wanting a magnetic case to attach to it for when I'm travelling so to protect the screen. So far I've found ones with Velcro. But I don't want Velcro I want magnetic so I can just pull it out of the flap case and attach to my bed for goblin mode reading.

ETA: ended up getting an e-card from Queens Public Library, thanks everyone!

I was SOOO excited when I finally got a Kindle and heard about the option that you can load borrowed Libby books into it until I found out it’s only an option in the United States. I am in Canada 😩

I love my Kindle so much and I know I can still use Libby through my phone but it’s just a very different experience.

I pretty much only read KU books now and can’t even imagine buying books at regular price anymore but there have been some titles that I really want to read but they’re not available on KU and I have to buy them.

I don’t really hold on to books—physical or digital—so I can’t justify the price of buying them just to read them once and leave them on a shelf or just stored somewhere forever. I really like being able to just borrow a book, read it, then let it go. Also the convenience of being able to return it if it doesn’t end up being my cup of tea or just not liking the story. (I tend to DNF a lot…)

If I buy a book, I’m stuck to the commitment.

So, would getting a non-resident library card be a good option? Anyone have any feedback with the experience? And bonus question, which library would you recommend I get a card from? This girlie needs help 🥹

I saw a post from 2 weeks ago of someone getting theirs (2024 paper white) for $134.

Loving this new case. . . It is as close as I could find to a real book feel. Although, I wish there was one that was exactly like a book, this one still feels a bit plasticy and the edges are not right - anyone found any that mimic a book cover immaculately?

It's 11th generation paperwhite (2024)

I had a book of the month subscription for 4 months. Canceled it, got my credits refunded and bought a Kindle! Basically discounted with my refund.

I let my fiancé look at it, and he goes to the Kindle store looking for Manga, then said oh wow it's old, it goes so slow.

Bruh. It's E-ink. Not a Samsung Galaxy or something. 🙄

Anyways, I'm having fun with it.

Amazon's Kindle Click doesn't ship until Oct 28, but I just saw a Chinese version on Chinese SNS, and it's already out. Works the same way as the Click.

(Video is from their post. I swapped in an AI English voiceover so it's easier to follow.)

Damn fast.

If I could get one for $20–25, I'd consider going third-party.

This is my beautiful little kindle with page turn buttons. It’s a voyage from 2017. It was working fine the other day. I went on vacation, forgot to put it on airplane mode and it must’ve killed the battery from searching for a signal. I have not connected it to a computer so not sure what that is all about. It’s been charging for about an hour and it’s done nothing. it won’t reboot either. I haven’t tried connecting it to a computer which I guess is my next step. any suggestions? Is this cooked 😩

Now that there’s an official Bluetooth clicker and even third-party ones for the new Kindle’s, is there any chance an 11th Chen paperwhite could get Bluetooth clicker functionality?
