The entry level Kindle refreshed in late 2024 keeps a 6 inch 300 ppi display and weighs about 158 grams, which makes it the lightest and smallest device in the range. Amazon raised the contrast ratio, sped up page turns and kept 16 GB of storage, USB-C charging and a front light without warm tone adjustment. The list price starts at $109.99 with lockscreen offers, and the matcha green finish became the recognisable version of this generation.
A sensible pick for someone who reads plain novels and wants the cheapest way into the Kindle ecosystem, or for a spare device to travel with. It is not waterproof, has no Bluetooth audiobook oriented extras beyond the basics, and the smaller page means more taps per chapter. Readers of PDFs and comics should look at a 7 inch model instead.
