    Upgraded from a much older Paperwhite and this one is so much more responsive and with a better screen. Worth the upgrade.

    My wife really loves this kindle, in fact she has already ordered a protective case for it. She enjoys the page white color.

    The kindle makes reading enjoyable again. You don’t need a light, can make the font as large as you want. Fits in a fanny pack so it’s great for travel. Love it

    A Predatory Bait-and-Switch

    |

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Be warned before you buy: The Kindle is not the dedicated, focused reading device it pretends to be. It is a relentlessly aggressive storefront, and you are the target. First, the "Ad-Free" deception. Amazon has the audacity to charge an extra $20 to remove ads, a fee I begrudgingly paid for a clean reading experience. This is a bait-and-switch. Paying the fee does not remove ads; it merely replaces the lock screen ads with a home screen that is almost entirely dedicated to selling you more products. My "ad-free" home screen has exactly ONE row for my own books. The rest is a barrage of targeted sales pitches disguised as "recommendations." Here is the unfiltered, unedited list of sales channels that dominate my device: Recommended For You In Kindle Unlimited Try Unlimited Reading & Listening More From Authors You Know Quick Reads For You New Releases In Kindle Store Listen to Audible On Your Kindle Amazon Original Books For You Books You May Like In Kindle Unlimited Books You May Like Discover Your Next Read Page Turners Just For You If this is "ad-free," the word has lost all meaning. It is an insult to the customer's intelligence. But the user-hostile design doesn't stop there. For anyone with a substantial library (I have over 200 books), the device is functionally unusable. The library management is an embarrassment of lazy programming. Your only filtering options are "Read" and "Unread." Want to find your currently "In Progress" book? Tough luck. You'll have to scroll endlessly. Worse, the UI actively works against you. If you accidentally tap the wrong book, it immediately replaces your actual current read in the quick-access bar at the bottom. To get back to the book you were just reading, you are forced to manually dig through your disorganized library to find it again. It's a baffling, infuriating flaw. This isn't a premium reading experience; it's a predatory ecosystem designed to frustrate you into further purchases. It fails at the most basic functions of a digital library. I am returning this device and going back to my tablet, which ironically provides a far superior and less manipulative reading experience. Do not make the same mistake I did.

      Hi FrustratedReader,
      Thanks for your feedback. I am sorry the Kindle Paperwhite didn’t meet your expectations. The “With Special Offers” version helps keep the price of the device low by showing sponsored ads, and the $20 fee removes lock screen ads—but I understand the home screen recommendations can still feel intrusive.

      I also appreciate your comments on library management and navigation, and am sorry for any frustration caused. If you’d like, the Amazon Customer Support team can offer tips to help manage your library or explore other options. Feel free to reach out directly at 1-888-280-4331. Thank you again, have a good day! AmazonDevices
