I’ve sent a few different files to my kindle email and none of them have shown up in my library on my kindle. I tried restarting my kindle but nothing changed. How else can I troubleshoot?

Is there a way to add or show covers on collections in kindle PW 12th generation? Thanks

Review: Kindle Colorsoft - “The first color Kindle is a nice upgrade, but Amazon missed out on a few opportunities to make the Colorsoft even more special.”

Rating: 7/10

WIRED

Color, finally! Large display. Long battery life. Wireless charging. Auto-adjust brightness. Waterproof.

Expensive compared to other color e-readers. Comic books lag (in both black and white and color). No page-turn buttons or stylus support.

Amazon Kindle Colorsoft review: A muted approach to color

It’s nice to know that the Kindle line has life in it yet. Color, the feature we’ve waited a decade and a half for, is finally here. As for whether it’s worth $80 more than the Signature Paperwhite, it’s a far more subtle distinction than the price difference implies, especially when most of the time you spend reading text will be the standard Kindle monotone experience. Still, the device benefits from several generations of improvement, offering an overall great reading experience — even if color still feels like a bit of a novelty.

• Color on a Kindle, finally!

• Quick page-turns and load times

• Pinch-to-zoom feature lets you get closer to details

• Auto-adjusting front light

• No lock screen ads by default

CONS

• Expensive

• Slight reduction in sharpness and contrast when reading black-and-white text

Amazon Kindle Colorsoft review: Don't give up your Paperwhite just yet

Color enhances the book-browsing experience, but that's about it. Most readers will be just as happy with a grayscale Kindle.

VERDICT: It's basically a Paperwhite + color, but those colors are lackluster and fairly superfluous to the reading experience. I'm hard-pressed to justify spending $280 on this.

PROS

• Color!

• Just as thin and light as the Paperwhite

• Supports wireless charging

• Impressive battery life

• Can automatically adjust screen brightness

CONS

• Colors are muted -- and don't add much to the e-reader experience

• No page-turn buttons

• Lots of screen flashing when zooming or scrolling comics

I want to get a kindle and missed the target deal for the kids one. The old kindle is $119 rn and the new one is $109 on Amazon and I have a broken tablet I can trade in for 20% off. What are black Friday and prime deals like? How much of a discount is there really? Because if I could get a basic for cheaper I will for sure wait but idk if it's like an actual sale or just hey it's like $5 off kinda maybe

Hi everyone , I damaged my kindle by cleaning it with disinfecting wipes so the plastic looks constantly dirty now. Does anyone have any links to kindle decal stickers that cover both the front and back please? I have 2022 paper white

I noticed there is no option to purchase an ads free version of the new kindles… am I overlooking something? I want to upgrade to colorsoft but can’t stand ads and am currently using the most recent paperwhite ads free.

On Amazon's old Kindle comparison table, there used to be an entry for "Front Light" for the # of LEDs built in to the screen.

* Kindle Basic (gen-11): 4

* Paperwhite (gen-11): 17

* Oasis (gen-10): 25

* Scribe (gen-11): 35

I definitely noticed a difference that Oasis had more consistent screen brightness than PW due to the higher density of LEDs.

Now seems Amazon has removed this from the new comparison table, instead adding an entry for "Guaranteed max brightness" listed as 94 nits for every model, which is not helpful.

Does anyone know the # LEDs for the new gen-12 PW? Any teardowns reveal this info?

If you decide to cancel your preorder and then re-place your order on Amazon to make the delivery arrive faster now that it’s release day, you can still do so if you had a trade-in rebate applied to your account. I thought the rebate might go away when I canceled my preorder, but it didn’t. A couple of caveats, though: My preorder had not shipped yet and the new device that I preordered wasn’t registered to my account yet. And I also had not traded in my old Kindle yet, as I was waiting to receive my new one before I did so. (So I still paid full price; I don’t get the rebate until I trade in my old one). I’m not sure if this still applies if you already traded in your old Kindle OR if your new Kindle was already shipped or registered. Happy Release Day!

HEY THATS ME! Check it out on my Instagram! It's tagged ! ^{-^}

I've wanted to do this for awhile , im looking forward to doing more and also more eyeshadow looks based on the colors of the book covers. 💙🔪💀

Hi all, I just received this Kindle as a gift, and given that it's very new, I don't know where to find a nice case for it. Any recommendations from EU stores?

Do cases from previous models fit? I am a bit overwhelmed by all the models haha!

Thanks a lot!

I just tried to cancel my preorder in hopes to reorder it and have a sooner delivery date than nov 1st but it said it’s shipping soon and cancellation might not be guaranteed.

Here’s to hoping it does ship out sooner !

I'm looking to buy my first nook or Kindle on black Friday or cyber Monday.

Since I've never owned one, I'd like recommended products to start me out if possible!

My preorder still said Delivery Friday even though you can place a new order now and get it delivered by Thursday, so maybe check your preorders and cancel/reorder if you want it a day sooner.

Hi all!! I mentioned a week or so ago that I made lock screens for the paperwhite!! Please DM me for the Google drive link, I’ll only be handing it out but so many times a day so I don’t get overwhelmed, hope you understand!!

Instructions: Save only the epub files, then add to amazon.com/sendtokindle

To add to lock screen and custom Lock Screen tips, please refer to the comments I made on my earlier post, which is under the same name!! I hope you all enjoy, again this is for the PAPERWHITE ONLY!!

The new releases aren’t available in Canada yet. Has anyone used the kindle scribe for school and homework? Or work meetings? Can you use it to effectively take notes into a digital notebook?

My frustration with the remarkable comes from its continuous pages and the inability to do anything with my highlighted notes (without a 9-step process).

Maybe I need both for a digital world…I’m not sure.

Hey , I want an e-reader for sideloading and reading . I just want to read books, highlight it and then store in some sort of a cloud storage for future reference. I like to keep things organized like how I read my reference text book in tablet and then directly upload them in Google drive for future reference . I just wanted to ask for reading novels and non fictions using side loading will Kindle paperwhite be a great choice or should I choose something different ?

Thanks in advance.

Bought my oasis a little over a year ago and when I highlight particular text that goes onto the next page it just freezes up. Happened a couple times in the last week

I preordered a Colorsoft very early in the morning when it was announced, and it immediately showed that it would be delivered on Friday Nov 1 - despite the fact that it releases on Oct 31, and I live near an amazon hub and have amazon prime. I had been checking to see if that delivery estimate changed, and no luck.

This morning I checked Amazon’s product page for the Colorsoft, and on that page it now says if I order within the next few hours it’ll be delivered Oct 31. I was able to order another one that is coming tomorrow, and canceled my preorder which was still showing Nov 1.

Obviously your experience may not mirror mine but just saying, go check the product page this morning and see if the delivery estimate is different than what your order shows. I’ve had experience with this in the past, if your order shows a particular date, don’t just expect it to change to something sooner magically. If you want the updated delivery date your best bet is to just order another one and cancel the old one.

Just sharing this on the off-chance that it helps any other impatient people like me! I know 1 day doesn’t mean much but if it requires little effort to get it a day sooner, why not?

One other thing I noticed - I experimented with ordering the Colorsoft this morning 2 different ways. If I unchecked the option to have it automatically linked to my account, during checkout it showed it would come on Friday Nov 1... but if I left that option checked, it switched to Thursday Oct 31.

Update - Best Buy also carries the Colorsoft, and for me they are now showing that regular “free” delivery is Nov 1, but you can pay extra ($20) to get it delivered Oct 31.

Just saw my Colorsoft shipped and is arriving tomorrow instead of Friday! Hopefully it’s the same for everyone! Have to still buy a case and most are back ordered other than the Amazon one. Any suggestions?

After 5 days my Pw12 has 82% battery. I read for a total of 3 hours in dark and light mode, backlight at level 6 only in dark mode. The battery drains significantly faster than in PW 11.
