Customers commend the Kindle Paperwhite (16 GB) for its portability, overall performance, and amazing battery life. Many appreciate its great size, amazing screen quality, and lightweight design, with some also enjoying the available color. While some find the user interface a little clunky and the price a bit expensive, glare is not an issue for users.

    Beware, Is the Version With Ads

    The summary did not state this is the Kindle version with ads. I would not have purchased it if I had known that. I also am not a fan of the new Kindle itself as it is not as user friendly than the previous Paperwhite I had that I only replaced because it would no longer hold a charging cable. This one has an awkward power button location, the pages turn with the slightest hand movement, making you lose your place in a book all the time. The search feature is also too sensitive. I also find it does not auto download books quite often. You have to tell it to download, adding a step that did not exist before.

    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

    I love my kindle. It’s provided easier access to my books across more spaces. While I still have a deep love for a physical book in my hands, the kindle makes it easier to bring it with me to places the book might not do so well in, such as work. The battery also seems to last for weeks between charges.

    I got this Kindle for my daughter. She absolutely loves it. The best part about it is that it can hold up to 15,000 books which is more than enough storage. It is so light and easy to take with you anywhere you go you can just put it in your purse. It’s easy on the eyes since it is a paper white. I would totally recommend anybody who has been wanting one to get this one.

    Simple and straight to the point of reading without having the distraction of other apps on the device. My daughter loves having her collection of books all in one device. She gets through books faster now on the Kindle compared to before when she was reading physical books.

    Bought this for my wife so that she didn’t have to always use her huge iPad for reading books. She loves it! Shes probably read 10 books this month alone and is on track to hit her 100 book goal for the year which has never happened!
