Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my first kindle. No issues encountered. Working as expected.

Absolutely worth it for battery life and screen brightness alone. Cases for it were also super easy to find and my wife got one that has a strap for her hand to allow for comfortable reading. The unit is incredibly lightweight so it's not really an issue either way, but I'm at least glad it's protected. Definitely grab it during a sale as they can get a bit pricey.

I love my new Kindle. I can adjust the font size and brightness of the screen so that i can read longer without my eyes getting tired. Stays charged for a long time.

The Kindle is easy to use, responsive, and has great battery life. I appreciate that it has dark mode and you can adjust the screen brightness. I’ve been trying to get back into reading and this has helped so much! I’ve read 21 books since June 1st! It is easy to send books from Libby to the Kindle app.

I purchased the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 16GB (2024) for my wife’s birthday, and she absolutely loves it. The screen is very clear and easy on the eyes, even after long reading sessions. She really likes how lightweight it is, and the 16GB of storage is more than enough for all her books. The battery life is impressive — she can read for days without needing to charge it. It’s a perfect upgrade from her older Kindle. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a reliable and comfortable e-reader!

I considered the color versions of the Kindle e-readers, but found their contrast to be too low for comfort, and opted for this model. I think I'm glad I did...since the text is crisp and clear (in sufficient light, or with the backlight on). Its battery usage is wonderful, lasting typically a week or two with fairly heavy use. My one complaint, so far, at least, besides the gray-scale pictures, is that signing in is frustrating in low light. I normally leave the backlight off, since I typically have sufficient light to read without it. However, when I need to turn on the device (which I have passcode-protected), it turns on the backlight during the initial start-up, but then, inexplicably, turns it OFF when asking for the code. This is very annoying, and requires unnecessary planning ahead to ensure that the backlight is ON at this point (by turning it on, then shutting off the device). The user interface is a little clunky, compared to the Kindle app on iPhone, but since I spend the vast majority of my time with the device simply reading, it's not a major issue.

I purchased this for my wife for Christmas 2024 and she has absolutely loved it! i did some research before purchasing and found that this model is faster than the previous Paper White which appealed to me! i love the fact that i can side load books for her to read and the battery life is AMAZING it last for a while she like to read at night and can dim the light on it plus it has a night time reading mode.

I had historically been a real book reader but have found myself reading in bed before I got to sleep more and more these days and it was becoming uncomfortable to hold the book and the even the little pocket lights I found on amazon to use were bothering my wife sleeping next to me. So I purchased this kindle and have no become a total convert. The ability to adjust font and brightness were fantastic and given the slightly larger size of this kindle over the basic does make a huge difference for me in not missing a physical book. Amongst the many little conveniences of this e-reader, I particularly like that I can touch on a word and the kindle will provide a definition rather than reaching for a phone. Also, to combat the need to actually hold the kindle, I purchased a “tablet holder” on Amazon for $20 which comfortably bends around the back of my neck and holds the kindle in place so all I have to do is raise a finger to turn the page when reading in bed. I would also mention that the kindle does great outdoors as well, obviously this kindle being the upgrade over the basic does wonders for adjusting to different lighting conditions. I get that some people but may be reluctant to pay bit of money up front for an e-trader but this has been one of the best purchases I have made in a while. If you Iove reading, it’s a seriously fun upgrade over a traditional book.

Works great. Much easier on the eyes and the sleep pattern than reading using Kindle app on your phone, tablet or computer. Small and light. Lighter and smaller than a single book, but obviously good many at once.

I'm absolutely thrilled with my new Amazon Kindle! As an avid reader, I was looking for a way to declutter my bookshelves and access my favorite books anywhere, anytime. This sleek device has exceeded my expectations in every way. The display is crisp and clear, with adjustable font sizes that make reading a joy. The battery life is impressive, lasting weeks on a single charge. Plus, the built-in light allows me to read in comfort, whether I'm lounging in bed or commuting. The user interface is intuitive, and navigating through my library is seamless. I've enjoyed exploring the vast selection of e-books available on Amazon, with many classics and bestsellers at affordable prices. Overall, my Kindle has become my new favorite reading companion. It's lightweight, portable, and has transformed the way I consume books. Highly recommended for anyone who loves to read!

I love my kindle! I was hesitant to get one because I felt like I was betraying real books, but I just had a baby and needed something more functional to keep up with my reading goals while caring for a newborn. It’s light, easy to navigate, and small enough to take anywhere with easy, but big enough to feel like I’m reading an actual page. The light and dark modes are my favorite because when it’s night and I don’t want something too bright, I switch to dark mode and it’s perfect. I can be in really any position while reading my kindle and be able to use one hand which is essential for me right now! Definitely recommend!

I am absolutely thrilled with the Kindle Paperwhite. The screen quality is amazing, and its ability to be read in bright, direct daylight is a game-changer. There's very little glare, making it feel just like reading a physical book, whether I'm at the beach or in my backyard. The convenience of carrying my entire library in such a light and slim device is unbeatable. It truly combines the simple, comfortable experience of reading a paper book with the convenience of a digital library. I highly recommend it!

This kindle is amazing! Super fast, clear screen, and the charge lasts WEEKS!

I love reading but was tired of paper books or reading on my phone. This device was great. I use the night mode as well and its much easier on the eyes than the ipad or phone. The battery lasts a long time, and there's tons of custom covers out there to be had. The only thing I wish it had was a "left hand" version or the ability to turn it upside down and hold it with the cover on the other side. Otherwise, 10/10 would highly recommend.

I love having this to take with me on trips, as it takes up less space than a book would while containing an entire catalog. The paperwhite look of the screen also makes it feel like I have a physical book which is great for me and makes reading outside much easier than other screens. The screen also does not cause any eyestrain and the night mode allows me to read comfortably before bed

Kindle Paperwhite is lightweight and easy to hold. It holds a charge for weeks, maybe months and it’s easy to read. I’m glad that I bought it.

Love the size is perfect for reading. Also the screen is really paper white is super crispy and clear no glare at all. Battery life is on point last a long time. Performance is very responsive to touch this is a great purchase.

The Kindle Paperwhite has truly been a game changer for my reading habits. It's incredibly convenient and allows me to take my entire library wherever I go, no more lugging around heavy books. I highly recommend it for anyone who travels and wants a lightweight, portable reading option. The adjustable font is easy on the eyes, and downloading books is quick and user-friendly.

I absolutely love this device! I love the size in general as well as the screen display size. I love it for travel too, takes up like no room in my bags. I also love how customizable it is in terms of font, font size, where the margins lay, light vs. dark mode, and much more. Overall I would say its definitely worth the money.

Light and small yet large enough to read easily. Hold a power charge for a long time.
