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

    This was a Christmas gift, and she absolutely loves it. My daughter is an avid reader but has only read printed books. She loves everything about it: quality, convenience and ease of use.

    Perfect for travel or staying at home to read. It holds a charge for a long time and there is less glare than reading on a phone or other device. I couldn't be happier!

    I am really enjoying my Kindle Paperwhite! I love that I can modify the screen to help me read better. Increasing the letter size and brightness makes a big difference to my reading comfort. It feels very sturdy, though I did buy a protective cover. It is amazing how many books I can store on my Kindle. I always have a book with me.

    I went from 6th Gen PW to 12 gen PW. Very glad I did it. So much faster, much more room. After 11 years it was easy to justify the cost.
