I've been guilty of calling mine both the K4BNT and the K5. I think one reason is the wiki here on MR about Kindle Serial numbers. According to it, my device with serial number 9023 is a "Kindle 4 NoTouch Black (2012) / K4, K4B"

But yes, according to Amazon, the black is the K5.

So...I just type whichever I feel like.

But I see now that there are objections to K4BNT, as well, so I guess there will be flak no matter what I call it.
If you want to be accurate, call your Kindle a K5NT.

I just had a look at the Wiki and it's very confusing and has some mistakes like KOA for Kindle Oasis instead of KO. So for the 3rd Kindle Oasis, the name should be KO3. There is no reason for the A in the abbreviation.

Why? There are only two 5th generation devices: a Kindle and a Paperwhite. So K5 seems sufficient, since the other device is PW.

But calling it a K5 would get confusing to some with a Kindle Basic. Using K5NT would not be so confusing.

Why? The Kindle Basic is a 7th gen device and uses the abbreviation KT2, KT3, etc.

You might persuade me to use K5NT if the Kindle Basic was a K7. But KT2 and K5 seem sufficiently differentiated to me.

KT is also an abbreviation for Kindle Touch. See, this is where is gets confusing. The Kindle Basic should be KB2, KB3, etc. Whereas the Kindle Touch would be KT4. So it gets rather confusing.

Oasis is not abbreviated as OA.
Knock it off. This isn’t the first time you’ve been told to drop it.
