Easy on the eyes
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendI own both a Nook HD and a Kindle Fire HD, both are great products, but when it comes to reading outside it is near impossible. I then purchased a basic Kindle and wow! what a difference for outdoor reading! I enjoy reading the e-ink so much that I then decided to upgrade to the Kindle paperwhite and I couldn't be happier. The lighting is different than the Nook HD and Kindle Fire HD which makes it easier on the eyes when reading at night. I am really glad I purchased this e-reader. Books download super fast!

I love my Kindle Paperwhite
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendI am so happy with my Kindle Paperwhite. While others may complain about the ads, one swipe and it's gone. I can't figure out why anyone has a problem with that. For three weeks, shortly after purchase, I thought I had lost my Kindle Paperwhite. I was frantic. After several days of looking everywhere I could think of and retracing my steps, I called Kindle customer service to deactivate it. As St. Anthony was on my side, I found it a week later. One call to customer service, answering a couple of questions, and I was back in business. I was handled with the utmost of courtesy. Apparently people are losing Kindles all the time, leaving them behind in restrooms and airports. You must deactivate your Kindle if it's lost or stolen and call customer service. They will deactivate it from their end and render it useless thereby preventing anyone from accessing your Amazon account. I'm aware that some devices are equipped with tracking abilities. I think it might be somewhat helpful to Kindle owners if this ability could be built into Kindles. So, if there was anything to add to to what's not so great, that's it. That is why I downgraded Features to Good. For anyone who is an avid reader of books, magazines or newspapers, I highly recommend the Kindle Paperwhite. It is easily read in any lighting situation, even sunlight, without glare. It is comfortable to hold, small enough to carry around, battery life is very good, easily recharged, purchasing reading materials from Amazon is simple, and an enormous amount of storage utilizing the cloud. I would also recommend that you purchase a cover for your Kindle Paperwhite. This will protect it from unexpected falls and scratches which cannot be avoided with regular use.

Convenient and easy on the eyes
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendThe paperwhite is great for reading just about anywhere. I take it everywhere and love reading it while waiting for and riding on the bus. I don't have any problems reading it in bed either. It was important to me to be able to read in dim light or darkness, so I chose the paperwhite over the basic model and have not been disappointed. It has brightness control so I dim it in a dark area and crank it up in the sunshine. Checking out library books is fast and easy. I just wish publishers gave libraries a better selection. I started out reading books on a kindle app on my iphone, but it gave me eyestrain. That is not a problem on the paperwhite. I haven't had it long enough to evaluate the battery life but I love that it keeps me from running down my iphone battery during the day. It's a great value for the price.

Worth the extra money!
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendI have been reading on the original Kindle for a very long time and I wanted to check out the Paperwhite. I wasn't sure if it was worth the extra $50 for the light and the touch screen. However, i was blown away the light makes the contrast much better and easier to read in bright light or low/no light setting. The touch screen preforms excellently and is very responsive. (This is a huge improvement over the side buttons for page turning) The on-screen keyboard works very well and it makes reading with one hand an absolute joy.Its everything you could want from an e-reader with a few nice surprises thrown in. If you are on the fence about getting a Kindle or a Kindle Paperwhite. Spend the extra money for the Paperwhite. You will not be disappointed. There is so many more good things I could say, but the device really speaks for itself.

Love it!
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendThis is my first e-reader and I love it! I recently started reading paperbacks again and didn't want a closet full of already-read books. This is perfect for solving this problem!

Love this Kindle
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendI already had the regular Kindle. We went to check out the PaperWhite Kindle & Kindle Fire. I decided on the PaperWhite because I really only want it for reading so I didn't need all the features of Kindle Fire. I love my new Kindle. It took a few times to figure it out but now can't be happier. I can read and not have to turn on any lights to see it. I can transfer books from my first Kindle to this one. It's also touchscreen which took me a few times again but now it's great. I would recommend this anyone who just likes to read but see it so much better. Very happy.

Perfect compliment to Smartphones/Tablets
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendEven though I already have several devices that access my Kindle library, none of them work as well everywhere as the Kindle Paperwhite. The e-ink display combined with the ingenious internal lighting make for a screen that can be read anywhere, under any lighting condition from poolside sun to a dark bedroom. It's also light enough to take anywhere or hold without fatigue while being about the same size as a paperback book, much better form factor for reading than a smartphone or laptop.

Great for reading
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendI love the Kindle Paperwhite and I can now read under any lighting conditions. The best part is the long lasting battery life that can last up to 8 weeks. The size and light weight are perfect for traveling. The only problem so far is the ads which you have to pay extra to remove it.
