    If you love to read and don't like the bulk of carrying around multiple books, a kindle paperwhite is the device for you! Love this thing! The battery life is outstanding and the fact that it has the backlight for reading in the dark is great. I can purchase books and check out books from my local library to read and return. Great storage! Absolutely never going back!

    I purchased this kindle with my honey points and really did not know much about how to operate it. Nevertheless, I viewed a couple of YouTube videos to get it up and working. It is easy to use and keeps the charge for a long time. I'm not ready to sign up for amazon scription which is about $11.00 per month for unlimited books so I signed up using my library card and get books downloaded to my kindle that way.

    This is my first Kindle. It was so easy to set up and begin adding books to my library. For someone who always seems to have trouble with new technology, this was not difficult at all. I followed all the prompts, and I was ready in just a few minutes. It's easy to navigate, set font size, and read.

    Love the paper white! Amazing and Kindle Unlimited has great books with only paying $11.99 a month. As someone who spent a ton of money on physical copies of books often the Kindle is an amazing purchase. Also the books are cheaper on the Kindle!

    I was really skeptical whether I would use this Kindle much. I always liked the feel of a book in my hand, but I’ve got to admit. I absolutely love it. It takes a little getting used to, but it’s so easy on the eyes and the back lighting is adjustable. It’s very lightweight and easy to take on a plane by the pool or the beach. I was very surprised with how long the battery lasts. I would definitely buy this again.

    I love my Kindle! Took me years to switch to Kindle from reading on my iPad, but I travel a ton, and frankly, the iPad is heavy in my tote bag, and doesn't hold a charge. Since I got my Kindle, I find myself reading more and scrolling less, and that is a win!
