    I purchased this as a gift for my grandfather. He was excited when he opened it and will get great use out of it while he is in doors for winter.

    I'm an optimist, and I tend to give 5 Star reviews more than anything. Which I've had people make a comment about that. However, I cannot give a 5-star review on this because it's such a simple unit, and with technology these days it should not be as expensive as it is. That being said, the display will blow your mind, it looks like real paper. I highly recommend.

    I bought this for my daughter, wanting to get her a kindle without having access to games (like with the kindle fire). This latest version of the kindle is excellent. I am jealous of my daughter and now am thinking about upgrading from my older kindle. The touchscreen is responsive. If you like reading on the kindle, it is worth the update.

    I dropped my old Kindle after about 6 years. Replaced it with this one. Still getting used to it, but so far it's great.

    I love having a real book in my hands and never thought I would like using a Kindle,how wrong I was! I take it every where, it is so compact it fits in my purse and I am now never without my favorite book. Only issue I have had is when I read outside on hot days it sometimes shuts off and has to be rebooted.

    Definitely the product for long time readers. Easy on the eyes. I bought this for my wife who until then was reading on other mobile devices which hurt your eyes. This one is really soft and still very legible. As if you are reading from a book under room lighting.

    I purchased this as a replacement for my older Kindle. It is excellent as always but I also noticed very little new features or updates since my last Kindle model. Would have liked some more design, form factor, or feature changes. That being said, it fits the bill and is amazingly light, so I have no other complaints.

    This kindle was inexpensive and gives me a light weight library in my hand, especially convenient when traveling. Amazon makes suggestions for other books I might like, as the staff of a good bookstore would. I especially appreciate how easily I can change the type size for reading in poor lighting.

    My Second Kindle

    This is my second Kindle and I love it! It's so convenient to be able to carry around hundreds of books without the bulk and weight of literally carrying around hundreds of books. I just wish I could have bought accessories at Best Buy. Also, the sales rep knew nothing about the devices and had to 'Goggle' info on her phone.
