Kindle Ereader
Basic 6-inch Kindle e-reader with e-ink display that looks and reads like real paper. The matte screen reflects light and uses a backlight, so you can read with equal comfort in bright sunlight and in the dark. Unlike tablet screens, the Kindle is glare-free. The low cost is achieved through ads displayed on the lock screen. A single battery charge lasts weeks. 8 GB of memory is enough to store thousands of books. You can listen to audiobooks via Bluetooth.

08.12.25. Kindle improved contextual selection
Kindle has received new features that change how text selection, notes and dictionary work. In the new firmware version when you select text, an "A" button (that actually selects the text) will appear and next to it - "LOOKUP" button (that opens the dictionary for word lookup). The note system has also changed. Next to the "A" button, when you select text, a keyboard will open, a note will be taken and it will appear in the notes section. When you select a word in the dictionary, the definition suggestions now adapt to the page. This includes the dictionary, Wikipedia, Translate and Search. This is a really great change, since in the old software, the user interface that provided these features would sometimes obscure the text or word you were looking up. Now, the context interface is positioned at the bottom of the page if the word you want to define is at the top of the page or moved to the top of the page if the word is at the bottom.
2025. Kindle ereaders get a Link preview window
Amazon has released a new firmware update for Kindle 11th and 12th generation e-readers, Kindle Scribe and Kindle Colorsoft. It adds only one new feature: a preview window for destination pages in links (similar to Wikipedia). The preview can be opened by long-pressing internal links in a book. The update also includes various performance improvements, bug fixes and other general enhancements. Some users in social media report that the update has improved overall interface speed, including page turning and menu response.
2025. Amazon closed Kindle's loophole that allowed to remove DRM
Amazon has released a firmware update for Kindle 11th and 12th generation e-readers. The company has removed one of the last remaining methods for backing up Kindle books and removing DRM. Users are left with the option of using complex jailbreaking methods, which typically stop working after a new software update. The new DRM applies to all newly downloaded books, regardless of purchase or publication date, but does not apply to books for which the publisher has disabled DRM. Amazon is implementing these new protections to prevent users from downloading Kindle books locally, then using various methods to remove encryption and share the book with others. Earlier this year, the company removed the ability to download and transfer books via USB—one of the last remaining ways to download a book to your computer. Kindle for PC has been updated to prevent users of older versions of the app from downloading Kindle books. Even to read purchased books, the app requires an update and they can no longer be downloaded.
