Great for reading

Great for reading!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

doncha just love nice things
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

SO PERFECT FOR ARTHRITIS
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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 LOVE my Kindle
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Marvelous
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Q: QuestionDoes this version have the special offers?I want one without special offers. Please let me know if this has the ads on screen.
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Don't waste your money getting one without special offers. They only show up as a cover page when the Kindle is off and when you first turn it on, but once you go to your book you will never see them again until you turn your Kindle off. Save your $20. I was concerned at first that they would be like those stupid banner ads that you see on web sites, but they're not. Like I said save your money. But if you really want to spend the money, you can pay for the special offers to go away through your Kindle, but I don't think that once you see how they work that you'll want to waste the money.

Q: Questioncan books be shared between kindle e readers
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Most books can be shared with other Kindle readers. You need to go to your Amazon account, click on the box next to the book, if it is a book that can be loaned, you will see "Loan this Book", click on that, put in the person's email and once they get notification, they can click on the link and download to their Kindle. Keep in mind that if you are loaning a book, it will not be available for you to read while the other person has it.

Q: QuestionCan you tell if you have purchased the newest generation by the box?I purchased a Kindle Paperwhite and was told that it was the newest one. I think that it may be the 2nd generation. How can I telll which model that I have for sure? I bought this somewhere else. The Kindle name below the screen is in white not black.
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer The Kindle Paperwhite 2 has the Kindle logo below the screen in white and the Paperwhite 3 is in piano black. The other way to verify which version you have in look at the fonts available while reading a book. The new Paperwhite 3 has a new font named Bookerly that was specifically designed for the new 300 ppi display. I hope this helps.
