    I really don't like this Kindle at all. The pages turn much slower than my last Kindle, settings are difficult to find, and the thing keeps shutting off for no reason Aargh!! Worst of all, I can't find my receipt so now I'm stuck. Live and learn....

    Love it. Exactly the size I needed and exactly what I was looking for. While I love a physical book, there was strain looking up and down and switching sides since I tend to read before bed.

    I havent used a kindle before. I bought this for my girlfriend for christmas. It works just fine, but it definitely has a very slow processor. After tapping the screen there is a few second delay before anything happens. Other then that she is happy with it.

    I have been using it constantly and I noticed that I have been reading more than ever before. It is not only the device itself that is flawless but the Amazon echo system around. I have added some books that I have and the memory is still like 95% free.
