    I love my kindle so much! Lighter and convenient, the battery last at least a week for me, and the warmth feature does wonders for when I have migraines. I love the size and couldn’t recommend the paperwhite more.

    Such a game changer! I love my Kindle Paperwhite so much. It allows me to read easier and have access to my books so easily! I can just toss my Kindle in my bag no matter where I’m heading and it barely takes up any space at all. I love that the font size and brightness are customizable as well. I have my brightness very low to allow me to read in bed at night, and even when I’m reading outside in the bright sunlight I never have to adjust the brightness - it just makes the screen look even more like book pages. Another feature I love is how it estimates the remaining time in a chapter as well as the estimate to finish the book! I purchased a clear case which has allowed me to put stickers on the back as well as a pop socket and I love it. I am obsessed with my Kindle Paperwhite!!!

    Love my kindle. Don’t wake my husband at night with a reading lamp clipped on my book. I truly miss the tactile feeling of holding a book, but arthritis in my thumbs made that more difficult through the years. I also like being able to just touch a word and the definition pops up.Sometimes when I’m reading a book book, I forget and touch a word hoping that the definition will pop up and then realize I have to look it up myself. I get a good chuckle out of that.

    I love my kindle! It makes reading at night, so much easier. I have access to pretty much any book I want so I read way more. I love the different settings for fonts, text size, brightness, etc.

    I do like the fact that it fits in my purse very conveniently. And I love how long the life of the battery life is. The only bad part is that it’s only black and white.

    I absolutely love my Kindle Paperwhite! It’s so easy to turn the pages & my favorite part of it so far is the fact that I can click/highlight a word & it will show the definition if I don’t know it! I’m learning all the other settings as this is my very first e-reader tablet! I did add a case to mine (see photos attached)!

    The kindle itself is great! It has a long battery life, quite a bit of storage, it's slim and easy to take on the go. All around I like it. The only reason I've knocked it down to 4 stars is because I wish the shop was easier to navigate like it is on my phones kindle app, and I wish I was able to archive books instead of fully deleting them where i'd have to re-buy them if i wanted them back.

    I’ve wanted to get a Kindle for a long time vut I was being skeptic because I have Kindle on my phone anyway. However, with long periods of reading, the glare on my phone gives me migraines. With Kindle E-reader, U was able to read and finish books faster because I can read on it for long hours! I also don’t have to worry about accumulating the books I’m reading since I don’t have a place to put them! Definitely a Best Buy Great Buy for me.

    The battery life is insanely good. The image is crystal clear, the ability to change font sizes is great. My wife got hers and her reading has tripled, esp with Kindle Unlimted. Highly recommend, and do yourself a favor and get a handle for it, makes it so much easier to hold

    This PW is probably one of the best E-readers for reading manga (its actually my first one but the ease of use is amazing). I started resding one piece from Vol. 1 to Vol 108 and wow what a journey. All i can say is that i don’t think i would have ever finished One Piece if it werent for this guy :). If you wanted easy accessibility to getting Manga or any book that yiur looking to read. I woukd recommend this device to anyone out there who is looking to get back into reading or wanting to try something new l would urge you to get it.
