Amazon - Kindle Paperwhite 2015 Release - 2015 - Black

The screen is really great for reading. Also in bright sunlight. Battery time also great, but that is also all it can do.

It's 2017 and I was wondering to myself if I should jump on board and get a Kindle paper white. Now and days, people can read ebooks from smartphones to tablets. The thing with me is it caused me eye strain after trying to read my kindle books through my iPad. After much researching and reading the reviews on here, the paper white has been the best purchase decision I've made in order to just sit back and read without causing eye strain. This is only for reading ebooks and is very simple to use. Battery life is amazing and only charge once every two weeks. If you are just looking for a plain ereader, then this gem is your best bet.

Have had this fine unit now for about six weeks having previously owned three other ereaders over the decade. So far it is exceptional from the others for the following reasons: 1. battery life 2. text clarity 3. back lighting to read in limited light circumstances 4. price - on sale for $100 5. ease of highlighting and saving such highlights to a notes document 6. light weight Believe this reader is not able to withstand harsh handling and would recommend a sturdy cover ($8) and the care one might give something fragile as well as having importance to oneself.

I bought this for my wife who has arthritis in her hands as the larger books she reads were causing her pain. Not only is she happy with how easy the Kindle is to hold, but she’s gotten even more books to read due to being able to order right from the Kindle.

I loved my book covers and the feeling of a book in my hands. But after reading countless reviews I gave in and bought a kindle. Now I can't imagine reading without it. After tons of booklights that died on me and heavy books that never fit in my bag. I can read anywhere, anytime, and in any lighting. I only wish the Kindle store was not so biased to kindle unlimited. It doesn't list the top books it lists people who pay the be on there. So you don't get genuine recommendations. Still, I will never read the same again. If you want to look up the mean of the word merely click it, if you want to make the font bigger you can do so, and if you want to see better raise the brightness. It's so much easier on the eyes than reading on my IPad.

Good value for money. Light and convenient. Small and does not take up space!

Best kindle ever! Easy to use and so beautiful kindle. I really recommend this kindle.

The main criticism/feedback I have about all electronics has to do with batteries. I feel all batteries could be replaceable (& rechargeable, of course). This is not always the case. So, unless electronic recycling is available, feasible & non-damaging to the planet; that's a bit of a blow. I still feel, technology is great &this is no exception. Downloading non-Kindle items is a little more involved; but still possible. I've used &like the feature of downloading my own documents. I've done more reading than I have in many months due to the Kindle. It's easy to read anywhere. Font size &back lighting are adjustable which creates an ideal reading situation, regardless of circumstances. Wasn't sure about the size (6"); after reading 4-5 books; the size is perfect in my hand.
