    My second one, it’s great! I love how it lets you read even out In the sun. The ability to change the font size is also a huge plus. It’s also super lightweight.

    For the price that was on sale, I LOVE THIS PRODUCT. I’ve missed having the time to read books, but it’s so easy to have on the go and the battery lasts me days. I have to say this was the best purchase I’ve had in a while.

    I have been using Kindle for over 2 years now. This puts no strain on my eyes and allows me to add as many books as I like. It is light and easily fits into your bag to carry around.

    I was a little leery of getting a basic Kindle, as so far I have only had Kindle Fires, but I have been pleasantly surprised. My Fires tend to bog down after a while (of course they are pretty old now) so I wanted something basic to use to read. So far I have been very pleased.

    For the price point, it gets the job done. Definitely easier reading books on the Kindle rather than my phone. Sometimes the performance lags/feels slow, but I feel like they're getting close to releasing an updated product soon. Luckily Best Buy honored the recent price match.

    I love it! As a person who loves physical books, I didn’t see myself falling for a Kindle. It’s compact, easy to carry, holds a good charge for days, convenient, and books in your lap instantly.

    Ridiculously addictive. The small size makes it super easy to take with you, I just toss it in my pocket and go. Bought it 9 days ago and still have yet to need to charge it. Buy it! Now!

    I bought it for Manga. Newer manga looks good. For example Attack on titan looks good. However Cardcaptor Sakura the pages are faded. It has long battery and the size is perfect.

    I love to read; that is one of my favorite hobbies. My son has told me for a few years: "Dad, you need a kindle". I always said no, I like the feel of having a book in my lap. Well, I got a kindle, just to try it out and found out my son was right! I love this device, it is so light and it is better than a book. I am able to download books from the internet. And the device keeps a charge for a month!

    I've wanted one of these for a very long time, and when I saw it was on sale, I couldn't resist. I regret not getting one sooner. I absolutely love my Kindle. Although ones like the Paperwhite or Oasis exist, I think for the price this one is a great fit for someone who doesn't want to have the distractions of something like their phone or a tablet. Plus, with the e-ink display, you rarely have to charge it. Absolutely love it.

    I love the kindle, but it's a little slow. The pages take longer than expected to load. The battery life is great, but I just wish it was a little faster while downloading books, or even while searching through the titles.

    Nice item. No glare and the battery lasts seemingly forever. Not crazy about the software though, because it’s interface not the best and a little sluggish. But, light, portable, and does it’s job!

    Kindle is great as usual for reading on -the-go. The screen adjusts to the sun automatically- making it easy to read outdoors and indoors
