Kindle 16GB

Take the story with you

Meet Kindle, now with an upgraded high-resolution display, 2x the storage, USB-C charging, and longer battery life. The built-in adjustable front light, and the newly added dark mode feature, lets you read comfortably indoors and outdoors any time of the day.

Enhance your reading

Enjoy sharper text and images. The upgraded 300 ppi high-resolution glare-free display provides more than three times as many pixels than the previous generation.

Read comfortably in any environment

The glare-free display reads like printed paper, even in direct sunlight. Adjust the front-lit display, and now with dark mode easily invert text colour for a more comfortable reading experience, day and night.

Distraction-free reading

Focus on the story. With no interruptions from messages, e-mails or social media, you can lose yourself in the story.

Read for longer

Now with extended battery life. A single charge via USB C lasts up to 6 weeks.
