    A great device for reading anywhere. Easy to use and links to amazon account easily for a huge library of books. Plenty of space to store multiple books simultaneously and has a great battery life.

    I love the Kindle paperwhite. The only thing separating it from being 5-star is that the screen refreshes are terribly slow at times, and the battery life is not as described. It goes down way faster than expected, it would not last me a week on vacation without needing a charge.

    Seems to be fine, although I haven't yet started using it for reading, since I am in the middle of a long paperback book at present. It was difficult to transfer the library from my very old Kindle and I had to spend a long time on the phone with a Kindle rep to get it done.

    I love this device. I didn’t think I’d like it because I enjoy a book in my hands, but I am addicted to reading with my Kindle now.

    As an avid booker reader and someone who thoroughly enjoys hardbacks, it’s nice to hve something to cut down on some of the excessive novels I have. Makes room for the special ones a little more vakuabke

    I love my new Kindle. My first one was is about over 8 years old, so it was time for a new one. I love that it comes with it's own light in the background. The home page is a little different but I think I'm getting used to it.

    this Kindle works well, although sometimes I do have difficulty syncing the device with my desktop, on which I also have Kindle. My Kindle is used mainly by my husband who finds it easier than reading from a book.

    its the perfect device to read on while on the go. though while I wish the screen was a little bigger it does mimic the size of a regular small chapter book. I wouldn't use it much while at home just because of the size, but I think its still a great purchase for what the price is.

    Kindle comes through again. I had to replace my 10+ year old kindle recently and chose this one. It is the perfect size for travel, the back light is adjustable so you can have a lot of light or none at all.

    Great device for reading! Doesn't say in the description but this is the version containing "Special Offers". The ads are not a big deal as they're only visible when you first open the device.

    Very light-weight and features a legible screen. For those who need to ruin a paperback spine in order to read comfortably, I would suggest getting an affordable kindle.
