  • QuestionHow many books can the 16GB hold ?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Hello Raspberry, It's difficult to say the exact number of books that 16GB will hold with each book making up different sized files depending on the length of the book or any additional features that go along with the file. With that being said, 16GB will hold several thousand books. For example, a 300 Page Kindle Book will take up roughly 2.5 MB. You can also save your books on to your Kindle Library and download them when you would like if you feel you are running tight on space as well. I hope this answers your question!

    Asked by Susan.

    • Answer It is very light expecially without a cover. You would not feel any additional weight when backpacking so perfect for that and way less than a physical book. The batter lasts a really long time so do need to worrry about charging it either.
