Pros
Portability & Affordability
The 2024 Amazon Kindle is compact, lightweight, and easy to carry around, making it ideal for those who want a simple e-reader they can toss in a bag or pocket without much worry.
At Ksh19,500, it’s a relatively affordable option compared to higher-end Kindles like the Oasis or Scribe.
New Color Options
The new Matcha Green is a standout, providing a fresh, muted, pastel-like aesthetic compared to last year’s blue. It is visually appealing.
Improved Performance
There’s a faster page-turning speed compared to previous models. The transition between pages is smoother, without the hard refresh that was present in older versions.
Typing and general navigation feel a little faster as well.
Screen & Build Quality
The 6-inch screen provides decent resolution (300 PPI), which is sharp enough for reading.
The build quality, while not premium, is acceptable for the price. The device feels lightweight and comfortable to hold for long periods.
Designed with sustainability in mind This Kindle uses 75% recycled plastics, 90% recycled magnesium and has 99% of packaging made of wood fibre-based materials from responsibly managed forests or recycled sources.
Cons
Small Screen
The 6-inch display might be a bit small if you’re used to larger Kindle screens (e.g., 7-inch on the Paperwhite).
No Major Upgrades Over Previous Models
There are only minor changes between this and the previous version, such as the color, faster performance, and slightly brighter screen (25% brighter).
Comparison to Previous Kindle Basic Model
- Color: The 2024 version comes in Matcha Green, a fresh look that differs from last year’s blue.
- Speed: The page turns are faster, and the device generally feels a little snappier.
- Brightness: The screen is about 25% brighter, but this isn’t a huge leap from the previous version.
- Other Specs: The specs (resolution, screen size, and design) remain mostly unchanged from previous iterations.
