How to Identify Your Kindle Model?

If you're shopping for a new Kindle case, knowing the exact model of your device is crucial to ensure a perfect fit. With so many Kindle models released over the years, it can be confusing to figure out which one you have. But don’t worry—we’ve made it easy! In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to identify your Kindle model using the model number, serial number, and other key details.

Method 1: Locate Your Kindle’s Model Number on the Back of the Device

The quickest way to identify your Kindle model is by checking the model number located on the back of the device. Here’s how:

1. Flip your Kindle over and look at the back of the device.
2. Find the small print that includes the model number, which will be a combination of numbers (e.g., M2L3EK, or C2V2L3, etc.).

It might be small and difficult to read, so top tip is to use your phone camera to zoom in and you should see if more clearly.  

You can then match this model number with the corresponding Kindle model:

Method 2: Locate Your Kindle’s Serial Number

If you’re unable to find the model number, another reliable way to identify your Kindle model is by checking the serial number. Here’s how to locate it:

• On the Kindle device itself:
  • Go to Settings by tapping on the three dots (menu) in the upper right corner of the screen.
  • Tap Device Info or Device Options (depending on your Kindle model).
  • Your serial number will be listed here.
• On the box or receipt:
  • If you still have the original packaging or the receipt from your purchase, the serial number is often printed there.
• On your Amazon account:
  • Go to Your Account on Amazon, select Content & Devices, and then click Devices. Find your Kindle, and the serial number will be listed.

Step 4: Use Additional Clues to Confirm Your Model

If you’re still unsure about which Kindle model you have, here are some additional features that might help you identify it:

• Screen Size:
  • Most Kindles have a 6-inch display, but models like the Kindle Oasis (7 inches) and Kindle Scribe (10.2 inches) are larger.
• Buttons:
  • Some older models, like the Kindle Keyboard, have physical keys, while most newer models are fully touch-screen.
• Lighting:
  • Early Kindles didn’t have built-in lighting. From the Kindle Paperwhite onward, most models include front lighting.
• Design & Weight:
  • Newer models are generally thinner and lighter. The Kindle Oasis, for example, has a unique ergonomic design with page-turn buttons.
