The new 7th generation Kindle basic comes with 4GB of memory--twice as much as my 5th gen--and enough to store thousands of average-sized books.
Display - infrared touch screen works much better than expected. It is very responsive and flawless in operation. You just tap on the left to advance a page, on the right to go back a page, and on the top of the screen to view the menu and other information.
Price - it is just good but it can be made BEST for India subcontinent as considering the fact the kindle owner buy/spent more on Amazon.
Battery Life - Battery lasts really long, just charge once and read for weeks.
Best Features is Dictionary Just select the word and its meaning would pop up. Other features Wikipedia search / Xray, enlarging fonts and Whispersync technology which synchronizes your last page read, bookmarks, and annotations across all your devices so you can pick up exactly where you left off reading.
Regarding Books, you can safely buy almost any books from Amazon and normally they are cheaper than Paperback edition. You can google for many free books also. Best supported format are .AZW3 and .Mobi. You can also convert easily .Epub to .Mobi.
For PDF Reading, Amazon need to go long way, as it is still offering basic compatibility only.
BIG CON - It has only One CON – you cannot read it in Night or dark room. May be you consider Kindle Paperwhite for this purpose.
Customer support / Warranty issue – Amazon is known to be best in the world. Just close your eye and trust Amazon.
Finally - In Nutshell, This little device is awesome Library with full value of money. Just go for it.

I already have a tablet which I bought mainly for reading (I read a lot - thought I can read AND browse). But I couldn't read on it as I started getting headaches due to the screen glare. Good for me, the kindle just got upgraded to touch and so I bought it.
Brilliant. No glare and I can read faster now due to bigger font.
As for the brightness, its more than enough to read outside or in your room in the night under the regular light. Paper-white one would help when only when its really dark. How often do you read in those conditions? Plus, its anyway bad for the eyes to read in that condition. So I suggest buy this one. With available memory around 2GB..guess how many books it ll hold? :)

The product is good and useful. Only the Company should bundle at least a standard flip cover for protection. The policy of the Company to push sales of flip cover separately does not leave a good impression amongst the buyers. similarly charger is also an essential part that should have been bundled with the product. Selling things unbundled is not a very sincere marrketing strategy.

Had pre-ordered this 7th generation Kindle and got it delivered on 13th October. The delivery from Amazon was awesome and the packaging was very good. The Kindle itself is a very good device and being my first one, it is as per my expectations.
The size and weight of the device feels absolutely perfect and comfortable for long reading. The glare-free e-ink display is wonderful to read for long hours without any eye strain. After using the back-lit LCDs of desktop, laptop and smartphone all day long, the e-ink screen is a blessing on the eyes. Reads just a like a book, in sunlight or in artificial light.
The touch screen is very responsive. Page turns and refreshes at a good speed and turning the device on/off/standby is a breeze. Can't comment on the battery life since its only 5 days. All other features are true and good as advertised by Amazon.
Kindle lovers and avid readers will certainly appreciate this device, but the reason I am writing this review is because of all the atrocious and baseless reviews being displayed here:
1) Many people have posted reviews here without even purchasing/using this product.
2) Some have labelled it as too costly. It's costly if you're not an avid reader and if you're comparing it with cheap low quality tablets. If you want a tablet, go buy a tablet. E-readers are strictly for (e-)book lovers.
3) Lot of morons have complained about the lack of screen lighting on this device. The Kindle Paperwhite has a front light illuminating the screen. This is the basic version of the Kindle and has no screen light. Nowhere in the product page has it mentioned that this device has a screen light, I don't understand why people are complaining. Have you not read the product specifications completely/correctly? Read more ›

Guys, the product is damn good but i would like to bring to your notice the pathetic service Amazon is providing in India. It's worse than any cheap e commerce website selling cheap and gaudy products. The guys in the customer service are haughty and wouldn't listen to you at all even if they are at fault.
I ordered a Kindle on 18th and paid extra money to get it delivered by 20th. I spent next 5 days frenziedly calling them again and again as i had promised my son that he would get one on his birthday. We were promised call backs those never happened. The moment you show your displeasure the guys disconnect your phone.
My son was severely depressed as he was expecting something good on his birthday. Amazon refused to cancel the order even and kept on telling that the packet is on the way. Ultimately after a terrible fight and talking to them for at least one hour on 25th i got the order cancelled. I had to rush to Croma the same day to buy the product as i never wanted to short of expectation in front of my son.
Please be careful about this. Benchmark their delivery and you would find them at the lowest rung at least in India.
Pathetic services, pathetic customer services.
