    Love my new kindle. Jade color is fabulous!! The fact that I can carry the books I love to read in my bag without it being heavy is great.

    I love this thing. Im typically a paperback kind of guy but this thing is awesome, especially for night time reading. To have a library at your fingertips and no clutter from the collection of books i have to hide from my toddler, this was an awesome purchase. Not to mention the battery life is amazing. Ive had it a little over a month now and have only had to charge it twice, thats insane!!

    I always thought I would prefer physical books to an e reader, but I love my Kindle! It’s so lightweight and easy to hold. Tapping to turn the page has actually helped me to read faster than I could with physical books. I love that I can easily purchase a book and have a whole library with me on the go. If you’ve been on the fence like I always was then I definitely suggest getting one!

    Battery lasts a long time, even reading for hours every night. I think I charged it for the first time after owning for a month. Put off purchasing for a long time assuming it would be hard to figure out, much more user friendly than I assumed.

    I purchased this for my mom who is an avid reader but recently had a stroke. She only has the use of one arm so holding a book and flipping pages was a struggle. With the Kindle she can easily swipe from page to page. And she loves being able to increase the font size.

    Had been reading via kindle app on tablet. Over time became very glitchy so needed to update. New tablets were too big. Still able to use Libby for free reads from library so all good. VERY pleased with the new paperwhite. Looked at color option, but colors looked washed out. So nice that i can sit in direct sunlight and read with no problem. Text is clear and crisp. Nice and lightweight. Would recommend.

    Writing this after almost a year I got it. In short, I loved it. Glare-free and matte feel display is amazing. Battery life is astonishing if you mostly use it during the day (doesn’t use screen light). Overall a great buy!
