Our take on the Amazon Kindle 6 inch e-Reader 11th Gen 16GB Wifi

The 2024 Kindle is Amazon's entry-level e-reader: a 6-inch, 300 ppi glare-free screen in a body that weighs 5.6 oz and is thin enough to hold one-handed for hours. It adds a faster page-turn, darker dark mode and USB-C over the previous base model, and it is the lightest and smallest Kindle you can buy. It suits casual readers and first-time e-reader buyers who read mostly Amazon books and want a simple, pocketable device. Against the Kindle Paperwhite it gives up the larger 7-inch screen, warm adjustable light and waterproofing, so readers who read in the bath or want a bigger page should look there.

Best forCasual readers who read a few books a monthFirst-time e-reader buyersCommuting and travel readingReading in bed or one-handed
Pros
  • Sharp 300 ppi text, same pixel density as pricier Kindles
  • Very light at 5.6 oz and small enough for a jacket pocket
  • USB-C charging, matching modern phones and laptops
  • Dark mode and adjustable front light for night reading
  • 16GB holds thousands of books
  • Simple setup through the Kindle app and Amazon account
Cons
  • No warm light, so night reading stays cool-white
  • Not waterproof, unlike the Paperwhite
  • 6-inch screen means more page turns than a 7-inch model
  • No speakers or headphone jack, so audiobooks need Bluetooth or the app
  • Locked to Amazon's store; no EPUB library lending without conversion

What reviewers say

  • 4.5 / 590 ratings

Owners rate it highly as a no-frills reader: the sharp screen, light weight and long battery life come up again and again. Complaints centre on the small screen, the lack of warm light and the plastic feel compared with the Paperwhite.

What people mention
  • ScreenPraisedReaders call the 300 ppi text crisp and easy on the eyes, close to print.
  • WeightPraisedOwners say it is light enough to hold one-handed for hours without strain.
  • BatteryPraisedUsers report weeks of reading on a charge with Wi-Fi off.
  • Screen sizeMixedSome find 6 inches cramped and turn pages more often than on a 7-inch Kindle.
  • LightingCriticisedThe front light is cool-white only; readers miss a warm setting at night.
  • BuildMixedIt feels plasticky and is not waterproof, which some buyers see as a step down from the Paperwhite.

Questions and answers

Is the 2024 Kindle worth it over the Paperwhite?
If you read in daylight and want the lightest, smallest Kindle, yes. The Paperwhite adds a 7-inch screen, warm light and waterproofing for readers who want more.
Can I read in the bath or at the pool with it?
No. This model is not waterproof, so keep it away from water. The Paperwhite is the water-resistant option.
How many books fit in 16GB?
Thousands. Amazon books average a few MB each, so 16GB holds far more than most people read in years.
Does it have a warm light or dark mode?
It has dark mode, which inverts text to white on black, but the front light is cool-white only with no warm setting.
Can I listen to audiobooks on it?
There is no speaker or headphone jack. Audible playback needs Bluetooth headphones paired to the device or the Kindle app on a phone.
What comes in the box?
The Kindle, a USB-C charging cable and quick-start guide. A charger is not included.
Where is the Amazon Kindle 6 inch e-Reader 11th Gen 16GB Wifi cheapest?
At Best Buy, for $149.99, as of our latest check.
