I bought a new Kindle Basic to replace the previous generation and comparing the screens of the new and old models is impressive. The brightness of the screen is probably due to having only four light emitters in both as compared with more expensive models, but the new feature I love in this new is it's Dark Mode. The white text in Dark Mode definitely makes it easier to read than white screen on either of them. Reading in Dark Mode seems faster and easier on the new Basic Kindle than Dark Mode on my PaperWhite or Clara.

Some of the new settings are new and I'm still exploring them but I have tried out reading Audible books with it. It paired instantly with my bluetooth earbuds and the switch from text to voice was smooth and intuitive with the on the screen settings. Here's where the bigger memory in the new model makes sense and it's smaller size makes it easy to drop in a pocket while the book is reading out.

I still have a lot of exploring to do with this new model but I already like it.
