I used to think I’d never get a Kindle because I’ve always loved physical books and didn’t think it’d be worth the money. Now I can say I’m obsessed with my Kindle because of how convenient it is. It’s water proof, I can read in the dark, it’s super light weight and compact so I can take it literally anywhere, I can change the font style + size as well as the brightness + temperature on my screen, with Kindle Unlimited or with a library card you can read so many books for free, and it’s so much more comfortable reading with a Kindle compared to a physical book. I would highly recommend this to anyone!

This kindle is genuinely my pride and joy. If you’re a book worm and you enjoy reading at night, this is perfect for you. You can adjust the brightness AND the warmth of the color to prevent headaches. It’s perfect to be able to read in the dark without needing a lamp or book light! Also, the charge lasts for literal weeks.

When I first started using it I wasn't so sure I was going to like it, being used to reading Kindle books on my laptop. I soon got used to the change and I love it. The controls are amazing and easy to use. I like changing pages by just touching the side of the page to go to the next page. I like being able to highlight. The dictionary works great by just holding a finger down on a work until you have the option to tap dictionary. Being able to control the color of the pages, warmer or cooler.

I owned a Kindle Paperwhite previously, but it was so old that it was starting to have issues. I have to say that even though I really liked the prior one, this one is even better. I think I’ve only had to charge it once in a whole month of daily use. Also, the slightly larger screen (now 6.5”) really makes a difference. I have lots of tech items, and I still think this is the best investment for the money,

I was skeptical about buying the kindle because I've always loved the smell and feel of a physical book. But for those days that you just want to bring an e-book reader, this is the perfect one. It doesn't strain my eyes as much as an iPad or the computer. I can borrow ebooks from the library download it to my kindle using the "Libby" app and it has made reading enjoyable again!

Works really well. Have been using it for more than 1.5 years. The screen was stuck once, fixed it by restarting. Other than that no issue.

Love my paper white it’s easy to use, super convenient for portability. I use the Libby app often so I can download multiple books and have them for my reading pleasure anywhere without the bulk of multiple physical books. Nothing compares to a real book , but I love this for its portability and simplicity

Everything I was looking for! I get distracted when I try to read on my iPad mini/iphone so the Kindle solved all my problems! Now I can get immersed in my books with no distractions
