    The Kindle Paperwhite is an excellent e-reader with a crisp, glare-free display that’s easy on the eyes, even in bright sunlight. Its adjustable warm light makes reading comfortable day or night, and the waterproof design is perfect for reading by the pool or in the bath. The battery life is impressive, lasting weeks on a single charge. With plenty of storage for thousands of books and access to the Kindle library, it’s a must-have for avid readers. Simple, lightweight, and convenient, it’s a fantastic upgrade for anyone who loves books.

    While I was hesitant to get a Kindle because I have always been a fan of paper books, the ability to skip this in my small purse and take anywhere with me is a major bonus. The ability to change from harsh white background at night helps my vision. I love being able to adjust the font and size. But most of all, the she’d at which I read is significantly better. Following my purchase, 2 friends also bought a Kindle and it’s become a competition of how many books we can each read in a week. 5/5 stars

    I fought the idea of a kindle for years, telling myself I could read physical copies or on my phone. I finally decided to pull the trigger and get this Paperwhite. It has been my best purchase of the year! The screen is great on your eyes and it’s beyond portable.

    I have a lot of electronics but this paperwhite is one that is so reliable with battery life and ease of use that is at the top of the list. Battery life is stupid awesome and lighting doesn’t annoy the eyes or your loved one next to you. This model is alway much more response to page changes.

    The Amazon Kindle is a perfect companion for girls who love to read on the go. Its lightweight design, long battery life, and easy access to a vast library make it great for enjoying books anytime, anywhere, without the bulk of carrying physical copies.

    I’m over 30 so my eyesight is already failing. I was tired of having to zoom in on my phone, so my husband purchased this as a gift and I absolutely love it. It’s compact, light, the charge lasts uber long and charges back up quickly. It fits in my lunchbox and or purse without taking up too much space. I’ve downloaded over 50 titles and still have so much space left!

    The Kindle Paperwhite is easy on my eyes, comfortable to read in bed in a dark room as well as in bright sunlight. I can adjust the brightness of the screen, size and font of the text. I download books from the public library easily. Holds a whole library of books in one slim tablet and take it wherever I travel.

    First time Kindle user and enjoying it

    I've been an avid reader for about 3yrs and all I would read is paperback books. Yet, they are a bit too pricey sometimes and i also needed something that would be more accommodating to my needs since I mostly read at night and didn't want to turn on the light and disturb my spouse while they slept. Buying this Kindle helps a lot fue to the light not being so bright and also having the dark mode. I have charged my Kindle once, possibly twice, and it hasn't gone lower than 90% in about a week. Also, getting 20 books at a time free to read from Kindle unlimited is amazing. I am not a very fast reader, but so far I'm enjoying my Kindle due to how small it is, and how somehow I became a little faster to read on it. I have already bought a case and strap for it to make my accommodation more comfortable while I read. So far so good, highly recommended to any readers out there. I've had this for over a week and a half, but so far I'm living it.

    I had been thinking about getting a Kindle for a while because I am a physical book lover. But there's no reason why I can't have both right? lol Best decision ever! I was worried about it not having enough storage but this one is PLENTY. Love the back lighting and adjustable lighting features and the dark mode for when I want to read at night. I fully charged it once when I bought it and haven't had to charge it since so the battery lasts a long time too! If you're thinking about getting yourself one, DO IT!

    My fiancé had been talking about getting a Kindle recently, so I decided to surprise her and buy her one. She has used it so much lately and loves how she can easily take it with her to work or school and read during her breaks. She has had it for almost 2 weeks and read a ton since then; the battery hasn't even gotten to 50% yet! It is an awesome, light weight gadget that is perfect for those who love reading books a lot and are always looking for something new to read without having to worry about miss placing that one book they love.

    I used to be an avid reader and really lost touch with it for many years. I also was very stubborn and liked "real books only". My coworker convinced me to purchase one of these and it was the BEST decision. I am reading again now more than ever. It's easy to travel with and I can read at night while my partner is sleeping without disturbing him. It stays charged and is easy to use. BUY IT!

    I had a Kindle Paperwhite 2015. I bought it three times. I gifted one. I bought this one because it’s a tad larger than the 2015. My eyes demanded it : ) It has more bells and whistles and more space. All things I like. I’m still learning but I’ll get there. I recommend this version.

    It has great battery life. It is a good ereader, only if you want to read books from amazon kindle service. Thats all the good. it is sometimes unacceptably slow.. There are devices with eink screens that run faster, so its not a limitation of the eink technology. I wanted to use it to read pdf, technical books, may be an article on a website? Nope. It is incredibly limited in doing those things. I purchased a kindle 5 years ago and it had these exact limitations even back then. No improvement in 5 years? Not worth it.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
