Amazon has released quite a few Kindle e-readers and tablets over the years, and sometimes the differences between models can be hard to spot. It is important to know which Kindle you have, as you want to be sure you are getting the right cases and accessories. If you’re not sure what Kindle you have, then you can use the strategies below to answer the question “What Kindle do I have?” and identify your Kindle.

Check the Settings screen

More recent Kindle models include a helpful Settings menu that can tell you which model it is.

On standard e-ink Kindles, go to the Home screen, press the menu button, and select Settings.

On Kindle Fire tablets, open the Settings menu by tapping on the gear icon or by swiping down from the top of the screen, then tap More > Device.

Check the Serial Number

You can find this sixteen-digit code in the box your Kindle came in or when you click on Settings and go to Device Info. Find your specific generation or type based on the first four characters.
