Would give zero stars if I said. I bought four and two of them died before a year was up. They won't charge or turn on.

Hello Tina! Thank you for your feedback on the Amazon Kindle 6" e-Reader. I'm truly sorry to hear that two of the four Kindles you purchased have stopped working before reaching a year of use—that's an incredibly frustrating experience, especially when you invested in multiple devices. When a Kindle won't charge or turn on, this typically indicates either a battery failure, charging port issue, or internal hardware malfunction. Here are comprehensive troubleshooting steps to attempt revival of the non-responsive devices: Charging and Power Recovery: Connect the Kindle to a power source using the original Amazon power adapter (not just a USB port on a computer, as these provide insufficient power). Leave it charging for at least 4-6 hours uninterrupted, even if no charging indicator appears. Sometimes a completely depleted battery needs extended charging time before showing any signs of life. Try a different USB cable and power adapter to rule out charging accessory failure. Force Restart Procedure: While connected to power, press and hold the power button for 40 seconds, then release. Wait another minute and press the power button briefly to see if the device powers on. This can sometimes reset a frozen system that appears completely dead. Temperature Considerations: If the Kindles were stored or used in very cold or hot environments, the battery protection circuitry may have shut down the device. Bring them to room temperature (65-75°F) and let them sit for an hour before attempting to charge again. Warranty Coverage: Since two devices failed within a year, they should still be covered under Amazon's standard one-year limited warranty. I strongly recommend contacting Amazon Customer Support immediately to discuss what options are available under warranty for both non-functional devices. Quality Concern Escalation: The fact that 50% of your Kindles failed within a year suggests a potential manufacturing defect or batch issue. When you contact support, specifically mention that two out of four devices from the same purchase failed with identical symptoms—this pattern may warrant special consideration or investigation. To reach Amazon Customer Support for warranty service, call 1-888-280-4331 (available 24/7). Have your purchase information ready for both affected devices. I understand this experience has been deeply disappointing, and you deserve reliable devices that last well beyond a year. Please reach out to explore your warranty options for both failed Kindles—Amazon should make this right for you. Thank you for bringing this quality issue to our attention.

A nice compact little device. I already had a scribe but it didn’t sit well in my hands for reading at night in bed. This works so much better. Best kindle I’ve had yet.

Hi Crystal, Thank you so much for sharing your feedback! We're delighted to hear that the Kindle 6" e-Reader (2024) in Black is working so much better for you. It's wonderful that you found the perfect fit for your nighttime reading needs! While the Kindle Scribe is an amazing device for note-taking and larger-format reading, we completely understand that sometimes a more compact device is ideal for comfortable one-handed reading in bed. The Kindle 6" e-Reader's lightweight design and smaller form factor make it perfect for extended reading sessions, and we're thrilled to hear it's now your best Kindle yet! We hope it continues to bring you many cozy and comfortable reading experiences. Happy reading!

Cute, Lighter than Palerwhite
Smaller, lighter and priced less than the Paperwhite 12th Generation kindle; lighting better to read on than the iPad. See photo comparison size of Kindle Paperwhite 12th Generation and an iPad

Battery life sucks
Even though I love the size , I can bring it everywhere in my purse . The battery life sucks .
1 reply from Amazon Devices Customer Support team - 29 days ago
Hello Hannah M! Thank you for your feedback on the Kindle. I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing poor battery life even though you love the portable size that fits perfectly in your purse. Battery performance is essential for a great reading experience, especially when you're carrying your Kindle everywhere. To help improve your Kindle's battery life, try reducing the front light brightness to below 15, ensure you're disconnecting from Wi-Fi when not actively downloading content, and turn on Airplane Mode during reading sessions. Charge your device overnight to 100% and keep it idle for at least 3 hours while charging to allow proper battery calibration. You can also turn off the page refresh option to conserve power. If you're experiencing rapid battery drain where the device loses more than 20% charge within 24 hours of normal use, this may indicate a deeper issue. In such cases, try performing a factory reset (remembering to back up your personal documents first), then charge the device fully overnight before resuming normal use with Airplane Mode enabled and brightness below 15. If these steps don't significantly improve your battery performance and you continue experiencing rapid drain, Amazon Customer Support is available 24/7 at 1-888-280-4331 for additional assistance. Hope you have a great day!
