    Bought it for the fiancée who has become an avid reader as of late, she loves it. The capability to have lots of books on the device at once with the subscription and the ability to change the lighting also is a very nice feature.

    It’s going to be an amazing Christmas present. Amazon was taking forever to process/ship the kindle, but BestBuy was able to do it with 1 day. Which is awesome because living in Alaska this is a common theme with bestbuy. And I will be buy more electronics through them and not Amazon moving forward.

    Excellent battery life. At full charge it’ll last my wife about 2 weeks and she reads about 3-4 hours every day. The size is great, fits in my wife’s purse easily. And she loved the raspberry color.

    Purchased during a sale and then the delivery was canceled and kindle was returned without notification. After talking to customer service I was able to still get the discounted rate! Purchased as a present and they love it.

    This is a switch from my very, very old Fire tablet that I primarily used as an e-reader, so I opted to switch to the paperwhite. So far, so good, although it would be great if you did not have to pay more to get rid of ads and if the Libby or other library apps could be added to make renting books even easier, rather than renting using my phone then sending to my Kindle

    I purchased this for my mom who is an avid reader but recently had a stroke. She only has the use of one arm so holding a book and flipping pages was a struggle. With the Kindle she can easily swipe from page to page. And she loves being able to increase the font size.

    I am a big reader and had previously always bought paperback books. I had someone recommended getting a kindle and it was the best money ever spent. It’s small enough to fit in my purse and I take it everywhere with me. The battery life on it is amazing:)

    I love my kindle paper white. The adjustable brightness helps when I’m wanting to read in bed at night. The long battery life is one of the best features. I could not recommend this product enough
