    I got this Kindle for my daughter. She absolutely loves it. The best part about it is that it can hold up to 15,000 books which is more than enough storage. It is so light and easy to take with you anywhere you go you can just put it in your purse. It’s easy on the eyes since it is a paper white. I would totally recommend anybody who has been wanting one to get this one.

    I was previously using the Kindle app on my iPad in addition to the Libby app and swore that was good enough - I love the Kindle library and its wide selection of publications as well as independent reads. I was reluctant to purchase a Kindle as it just seemed like yet another device to carry around when I travel, but I'm so glad I did. I was also happy to learn that I could read my Libby loans on the kindle! The sharp epaper display is crisp, easy to read, fast, and much better on my eyes than the iPad screen. The device itself is also nice and light and the battery lasts forever and when I do need to charge it it uses USB-C so I can use a charger that I already have with me. I couldn't be happier with this purchase!

    I love my kindle. It’s provided easier access to my books across more spaces. While I still have a deep love for a physical book in my hands, the kindle makes it easier to bring it with me to places the book might not do so well in, such as work. The battery also seems to last for weeks between charges.

    The kindle makes reading enjoyable again. You don’t need a light, can make the font as large as you want. Fits in a fanny pack so it’s great for travel. Love it

    The Kindle that we purchased from Best Buy has been great. We love not having to bring a stack of books when we travel. We just download the books when we are ready to read them. The greatest feature is being able to read our books when we go to the beach. The screen does not have glare when reading in bright sunlight.

    I really enjoy how it looks like a book and how easy it is to use. I also like that it is easy to take when I go places. It's the perfect size. I also really like the color on the back, it is pretty just like the photos.
