    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.

    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 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)!

    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.

    I finally put down my paper books and reluctantly stepped into 2025 with my new Kindle. I love it. I wish I had done it a long time ago. I read last night with the lights and glasses off!

    I really love my pink paperwhite. It's easy to navigate and easy to read. The 16 GB is plenty of space for me to have several books to keep up with. The glare free makes it easy on the eyes for extended time of reading.

    I haven’t put it down since I got it last week. Definitely worth the investment. I was debating between this and the signature version because of the ads but honestly the ads aren’t that troublesome and there’s no need to pay extra to remove them.

    New Kindle is the best Kindle

    Best Kindle I’ve had, which would be 3 of them. It’s so much faster than my previous one and a bit larger. It’s no longer a hassle looking up words or other books etc as the screen loads and refreshes very quickly. Makes the whole experience much more enjoyable.. and allows you to focus more on the reading and less on loading times etc. Battery life seems to be better as well. I’ve only charged it once in the last couple of weeks and it was only at 80 something % when I did.

    Love it! I’ve owned a kindle since the beginning of ‘kindle time’ - this version does not disappoint. The one suggestion I would make is to make purchaser understand they need to have a fast charging plug too - unless you want to wait hours for a recharge.

    This will help you only if you read a lot. It’s not useful if you just want to show it off. Kindle’s a great device if you know how to download epub files for free, that’s where it gets super interesting and easy to read books without having to purchase them at an inflated price.
