◆ New Kindle opening & appearance photo review
Here is the Kindle package.
The Kindle has a lineup of 'with lock screen ads' and 'no ads' models. This time we will use the model with advertisements. Both models have a storage capacity of 16GB.
Inside the box was the main unit, a USB-C cable, a quick start guide, and a safety bookmark.
The appearance of the Kindle body looks like this.
There are no buttons on the left side when viewed from the front.
The same goes for the right side.
There are no buttons on the top.
The bottom has a USB Type-C connector and a power button.
The back side has a matte texture.
The actual weight is 154g.
The dimensions are 157 mm long side x 108 mm short side x 8 mm thick.
Taking it looks like this. Thanks to its lightness and thinness of 154g, it fits comfortably in your hand.
◆Comparison with Kindle Paperwhite
The dimensions of Kindle Paperwhite (left) are 174 mm long side x 125 mm short side, and Kindle (right) is 157 mm long side x 108 m short side. The display is 6.8 inches for Kindle Paperwhite, 6 inches for Kindle, and Kindle Paperwhite is one size larger.
The width of the bezel was about 9 mm on the left, right, upper side and about 24 mm on the lower side for both Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle. In addition, Kindle Paperwhite is a flat bezel specification, and the step between the screen and the bezel cannot be seen.
The thickness is 8.1 mm for Kindle Paperwhite and 8.0 mm for Kindle. The Kindle is slightly thinner, but you can hardly tell the difference.
The weight was 154 g for Kindle, while Kindle Paperwhite actually measured 205 g.
When I took it, the Kindle was stable even when held with one hand, but the 205g Kindle Paperwhite feels heavier than the 154g Kindle.

It looks like this when the characters are maximized. The Kindle Paperwhite can display more information at once.

In addition, Kindle Paperwhite has IPX8 grade waterproof performance.

Kindle is the entry model of the 'Kindle' series, and the performance is one step behind Kindle Paperwhite, but Kindle has some parts that surpass Kindle Paperwhite, such as its lightness, compactness, and affordability. Kindle seems to be an e-book reader suitable for the 'first Kindle' debut.
