Many appreciate its great size, amazing screen quality, and lightweight design, with some also enjoying the available color. While some find the user interface a little clunky and the price a bit expensive, glare is not an issue for users.

    I am an avid reader & didn’t think I could give up holding books but I love it! So light and fits in my purse so it can go everywhere with me. Wish I would have gotten one sooner.

    This is my sixth Kindle - and so far my favorite. I love the raspberry color, the battery life and the improved software making it easier to navigate my books. I chose Best Buy to buy my new kindle because they had the best price and the bonus of in-store service.

    I love reading an this is very easy on the eyes now that I am getting older an books are getting kinda pricey. Some of the books I can't find anymore except here. I finally decided to buy one. Now I can get titles that are no longer in print too.

    The Kindle Works great! It is very handy to read and enjoy reading books in a new handy format. Looking forward to taking it along on vacation to take out on the plane or on long drives or hotel stays. It also bought the matching case and it compliments the Kindle nicely.

    I switched from a Nook Glow to the Kindle based on my daughters recommendation. It is bigger, yet lighter. It's so much easier to use and the battery lasts a long time. I love it.

    As someone who likes the feel of a physical book in their hands, I never thought I would like a kindle as much as I do. With the warmth and brightness settings available, this is as close to the look of a real page as you can get.

    My husband loves it. His original kindle died and he was worried he wouldn’t like the features of a new one. This is perfect for him and very light weight.

    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.

    WAY BETTER than my 2017 Paperwhite. So good I got a second one for my wife. Easily the best way to read a book, whether you're out at the beach (glare-free), snuggled up on the couch (easy to handle with one hand), or laying in bed with your partner asleep (can adjust backlight, so no need for lamp)!

    Just what was needed. No frills and long battery life. Just books and podcasts. Great distraction from other screens. Sleep easier after using this device compared to phone or tablet.
