    I absolutely love this investment I have made for myself! The battery lasts me so long, and it gives me so much more access to being able to read wherever and whenever. The size of the screen is just perfect, like you're still holding a book. The screen moves pretty fast and there isnt any lag in scrolling through pages. Its very comfortable to hold, very light doesnt make my hand cramp. There's also the bonus that it comes in a pretty color. The only thing I dont care for is the warm light option so I dont use it that often.

    I hesitated for a long time if I wanted to purchase this item but I’m so glad I finally got one! I’ve has this item for almost 2 weeks and I’ve only had to charge it once! The size of it is perfect it’s not bulky or heavy at all. I love the fact if the sun is on the screen it makes the screen more noticeable instead of not being able to see because of the glare. The color is a bonus!! I definitely recommend this item to anybody who loves to read on the go.

    My life is CHANGED. I’m an avid summer outdoor book reader, but I’ve always struggled with how the sun reflects off white pages, straining my eyes after so long. That problem is a thing of the past!! The kindle with its long battery life, brightness adjustable screen, and light weight makes it one of my most favorite purchases!! Must have!

    Best purchase I made so far! I cannot express how easily this kindle is to take anywhere and it’s so light. The paperwhite is like reading from a book that I haven’t experience no eye straining comparing if I’m reading from a phone or tablet. Oh! the Agave green is so cute! Get it!

    I love this Kindle. It’s lightweight, holds a looooong battery life, and is easy to learn how to use. This one has more settings and options than the older versions and I really enjoy that. Every book lover needs one! It goes everywhere with me from the waiting room, to the beach, a bubble bath, resting before bed, or anywhere I think I might be board but don’t want to waste time scrolling on my phone when I could be reading. Best Buy has good sales on Kindles almost every holiday which is when I bought mine! Black Friday deal was a steal.

    Love this kindle so far. So lightweight and the battery has lasted over 3 weeks with only one charge. I like the settings to adjust the font size and the warmth of color. Downloading books from my phone is the way I've been doing it but you can download from the kindle as well. I'm still learning how to use it but so far I love not wasting my phone battery and the lack of distractions from using this instead.

    I can’t say enough good things about this device. I debated for a long time on which model to get. But after using the signature paperwhite for several months now, I’m happy i chose this one. It’s the perfect size, and the waterproof feature comes in handy even if you are not a beach, pool, or bathtub reader. I have been caught in the rain a few times already, And just knowing that I don’t even have to worry about it getting wet is such a relief.

    This is my 3rd Kindle and it is by far the best upgrade. This has been glued to my hand since Christmas. I am a daily user and have only charged this one time. It seems to be lighter with a few more options and colors. This one is compatible with a usb c-charger that is convenient. I usually go for black but the sage is refreshing. Thanks husband for the upgrade that I didnt know I needed. Plus it is easy to transfer your settings from a previous version making the setup super fast and easy.

    I love my Kindle paper white. It has been a little over a month now and the battery last forever. I love all the options that it gives me as well as the option of portability. I love that I can just take it in my tiniest purse and bring it along with me wherever I go, highly recommend. And also Best Buy did a lovely job had delivering way before it was time. And I just love it. I love my. Kindle.

    I got my Kindle a little under a month ago and im absolutely loving it. I used to be the type of person that swore by physical reading and told myself that I would never be a digital reader. Then I started seeing all these kindle videos on my TikTok fyp and I caved and bought one. I could not be happier. I read more books now than I ever sid. It also helps me to get throughbooks faster. I love the size and the portability of it. If you’re thingking about getting ome, i’d say just go for it.

    I bought the kindle because I wanted to get back into reading and with me traveling so much for work I wanted something light and easy to carry. I’ve gotta say, it exceted my expectations! I helped me read my book without my eyes burning or hurting. The soft light and the customization of the font and size really helps you make it comfortable for all types of readers.

    I absolutely love my new Kindle! I used to have one when I was younger and buying this has allowed me to explore the world of books easier while I juggle life with two jobs. My favorite features have to be the ability to get my downloaded library books to read & the waterproof design. It fits in almost all of my bags minus my tiny handbags I use when going it. If you are contemplating a Kindle… you need it!

    This Kindle is great! The battery life is really good. I’ve read 3 books on it so far and the battery is at 48%! You can customize the format of the book along with the font and its size. It is really simple to set up with the Libby app so you can check out ebooks from your local library and read them on the kindle. The warmth adjustment bar allows you to read with as much or as little warm light as you want so your eyes don’t get tired. I love the green color I got for my kindle. Also, getting the kindle with ads isn’t intrusive at all. The only place the ads are displayed is on the lockscreen. Would definitely recommend it to my friends. It will save me so much money and space in the long run!

    There is nothing to not like about the Kindle. I had a Pocketbook Touch Lux 2 before. Love that this one is water resistant - this is the biggest thing for me. Thanks to best buy for having this one in stock when Amazon was out. Amazon wanted me to wait for like at least a month! But yeah, water resistant, holds the battery nicely. Tip - if you want the battery to last longer - turn on the airplane mode. I did put a screen protector on, so the screen looks glossy on the photos. I also added a magnetic sticker so I can use different popsockets for the book.

    This was the best purchase I could have made! I’ve been on the fence about getting one since I didn’t like the old one I had and I prefer actual books but I’m so glad I did. So if you’re also not sure and see kindles getting popular again they have improved so much. It is so worth it. Just buy it, honestly don’t wait. It is so easy to use, I bring it everywhere with me. I also have recommended it to all of my friends and family members who read. It is just so convenient and buying from Best Buy was the best choice for me. I got it for a great deal and they shipped it to me fast with no damage. I highly recommend!
