    love this kindle. I have had other tablets in the past, when they were outdated, I wanted to switch out and try this. It is easy to use, lightweight and like that you can adjust the screen brightness.

    Good reader function but needs better case shell.

    Overall the Paperwhite is a good reader - small enough, light enough, easy definition lookups, good adjustments for the fonts, contrast etc. The big negative is the power button on the bottom next to the charging port - just propping the reader against something to read at an angle will part of the time hit the power button...also, the outer shell of the reader is many times too slick for propping it up to read at an angle on a table or countertop without the reader sliding down flat on its back on the table or counter. In my case, I had to get a case that was softer/more friction so it would prop up ok and would also raise the bottom of the reader enough to clear the power button so as not to turn the reader off. I highly suggest moving the power button to the top right side and also incorporate a kickstand in the back of the paperwhite itself

    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 got this gift for my sister as a Christmas present and she loved it! The screen, the durable feel, and the display. I did see it alittle small, but she says it’s perfect. Thank you Best Buy.

    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.

    I bought this for my wife as an anniversary present. She has used her iPad to readbut she didn't like the size and weight of it. She wasn't sure if she would like the Kindle at first, but has grown to really enjoy it. It's light and it is about the size of a paperback book. My gift-giving attempt has been redeemed.

    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 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!

    I purchased this for my wife who struggles with reading on harshly lit screens. This mimics the look and feel of paper extremely well and allows her to read in any environment. The screen size is about the size of a standard paperback, which sometimes feels small but adds to the portability. The permanent ads on the lock screen are annoying, but unobtrusive enough to overlook.
