Nice portable device
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like to read on digital devices and being able to use it without internet. It works well. I bought a case for it that turns it off and on.

A Predatory Bait-and-Switch
||Posted .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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Amazon Devices Customer Support
Posted .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!

Great for travel and lowlight environments!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Initial set up of the internet and account settings was a bit confusing and frustrating (thanks to reddit for helpign figure it out!). However, after finally setting it up, pretty simple to use. It is easy on the eyes when reading on the plane or in bed at night. Heads up, this is NOT the ad free version. If you get this one, you’ll have ads until you remove them manually. Over all, would recommend getting if youre a casual reader or you would like to vet into reading more often.
