    The best product for readers I have ever purchased, I have access to my favorite books, I can buy instantly, I can adjust the light and the letters. And best of all, I could buy it at Best Buy, the closest store. The service was excellent. I really liked it since I was able to pick up the product at my availability.

    I hate taking books with me when i travel because they get bent and creased. The battery on this is amazong, the backlight is really useful, and its very thin and lightweight.

    This device is one i didn’t think i needed, but it's definitely what i’ve been missing. I love my kindle, i’ve had it for a week and already finished a book and onto my second. I love how i have the options of changing the font size and type, screen brightness, and warmth. My absolute favorite feature is the dictionary. This makes it so easy to look a word up without having to disturb my flow in reading. I love the idea that I can carry lots of books with me just on this one device and don’t have to worry about taking up any physical space at home with physical books.

    Works great in the sun. I use it every day. The battery lasts forever in it. I hardly ever need to charge it. This is my first one, and I love everything about it. The size is perfect. The font is perfect. Overall it’s perfect!

    Let me tell you about this amazing eReader

    I originally was using my iPad 6th gen (2018 iPad) till Oct 2023 when upgraded it to a M2 iPad Pro 12.9 inch. I was reading comfortably with the old iPad, for novels, manga, and comics. When I attempted to read on the iPad pro, it was very uncomfortable to read novels, but was perfect to read Mangas and comics. I also realized, that with my line of work, I was dealing with alot of blue light emitting devices (monitors, computers, televisions), so getting an iPad mini or using my 12.9 inch was not an option. I did alot of research over a 3 day period between the Kindle PaperWhite, Kindle Paperwhite Signature edition, Kindle Scribe, Remarkable 2, and other e-ink devices. Most of them are larger 10 inch devices, which I did not need at all, especially to read books. The Oasis was my first choice, due to the page clicker, but during my research, I found it was no longer being made. My next choice was obvious: the PaperWhite. It was in budget, had more than. enough memory, uses USB Type C, and fit perfect in my hands. I did momentarily look at the Signature Edition, but lets be real here, most novels and eBooks are megabytes in size, not gigabytes. Moment I bought the Kindle, this is definitely a first for me, but I never put this device down. Now I’m not an avid book reader, but I don’t know what it is with this device, but I was reading hours on end. This device quite literally made reading another hobby for me. Battery lasts a decent amount, since I am reading alot, but it lasts longer than any of my iPads. Its definitely a device I highly recommend for anyone, especially in the IT world, to use to read.

    I wanted a reader that wasnt abke to to other things that would distract me. i.e. not a tablet. I wanted something lightweight, easy to use on the couch,in bed or on the beach. This kindle checked all the boxes. The backlight is nice when reading in the dark, the light temperature can be changed to be easier on the eyes. The paperwhite screen transitions very smoothly from page to page which was one thing i was worried about from earlier generations of paperwhite style ebooks. I couldn't be happier with this kindle.

    Prior to buying a Kindle, I had used the Kindle app on my tablet. This is SO much better. It's lightweight, the matte screen is much easier on my eyes and with memberships to multiple library systems in my area, I can always find something to read for free. Battery life is incredible, I only charge it about once a month (if that).

    Love love love my Kindle! It’s been such a great investment. It’s so easy to carry EVERYWHERE and the battery lasts so long (weeks, and I read almost daily for 30-60 mins). If you were debating, this is your sign to get yourself this Kindle!

    I love my kindle! I like reading a lot so there are times that I might be reading two books at the same time. I also have two young kids so between their stuff, my stuff and my books, my tote can get heavy. The kindle is extremely light and it gives me the option of having multiple books with me. We recently went on vacation and I even downloaded some children’s books that I could read for my kids at bed time.

    I bought this for my boyfriend's birthday and he LOVES it!! He says that the battery lasts for weeks. He is definitely a book worm and uses it often. He also loves that fact that he can just click on a word and the kindle will provide him the definition right on the page.

    Upgraded from a 7th gen Paperwhite to this. Its faster, the screen is larger and the adjustable warmth setting is very pleasing to the eye. Unlike reading on a phone which is backlit, using a kindle that is front lit doesn’t cause eye strain. Highly recommended. Pair it with the Libby app on your phone to check out and send ebooks from the library, you’ll never buy a regular book again.

    I was having problems with my two old Kindles and decided to replace them at the Torrance store. They were not in stock, but staff found them at another store. They arranged to have them delivered overnight, but when I went to pick them up, they had not been delivered and I had to drive a distance to get them.

    I love this thing so much. I rarely have to charge it, like it’ll last me almost 3 weeks even while reading multiple hours a day. I also really enjoy the range of brightness.

    I LOVE my kindle. I use it every single day. I love that I have unlimited access to books. Kindle Unlimited is SO worth the $10/month. I used to think that I would hate reading on a tablet but the paper white makes it seem like a physical book. I battery lasts for ever!!

    I was reluctant to get a kindle since I love having an actual book, however, my family made a good point that it would be easier to take places/vacations rather than several heavy books. Pleasantly surprised with this device. Easy to read out in the sun and can read at night without turning on the lights. Waterproof to a certain depth so I read in the pool too.

    I've loved using Kindle's for about 10 years at this point. I bought this one for my sister as a birthday present and she loves hers. 16 GB of space is enough for a ton of books. The screen looks great and is easy on the eyes as usual, and the light helps with night time reading.
