Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my first kindle. No issues encountered. Working as expected.

I recently bought a 12th gen Paperwhite to replace (supplement, actually) my 11 year old Paperwhite that had developed some kind of "tear" on the light emitting part of the screen that made reading at night a bit irritating. I spent the extra $20 after I purchased the new PaperWhite to be rid of the cover advertising that Amazon never gets right for me. Not a big fan of interplanetary romance fantasies, but that's just me. In short, it's really wonderful. The screen is bigger, the resolution is greater, and all functions are peppier. Unqualified recommendation for this device. I use the new control to tint the screen a bit beige to match the settings on my iPhone Kindle App. It joins my previous Paperwhite which I still use with the illumination off (thanks to E Ink), and the Kindle apps on my iPhone, iPad, and Windows laptop. I got mine at the nearby BestBuy because of their very reasonable return policy means I don't have to deal with Amazon Customer disservice. But I won't be returning this gem. One thing I'm wondering about, though. I got mine for $160 (pre no-ad upgrade) and I'm wondering if the newly enacted tariffs will affect the price. I know for a fact that tariffs won't affect the price of Kindle books since you buy them from your country’s Kindle Store, but I believe that the Kindle itself is made in Taiwan. For the record, I also read on the Kindle app on my iPhone, iPad, and Windows Laptop, so that might be the way to go if Kindles get too expensive. But if they're still $160, grab them while you can.

I finally put down my paper books and reluctantly stepped into 2025 with my new Kindle. I love it. I wish I had done it a long time ago. I read last night with the lights and glasses off!

Holds countless books, I only have to charge it every couple weeks, and its waterproof?! Seriously, just buy the Kindle Paperwhite and you won't regret it. I always said I preferred the feel of a book but this has changed my mind. Less wrist strain, more privacy when reading in public, and backlit screen eliminating the need for a book lamp at night allow me to read more than ever! Plus you can make your own cover inserts to personalize your Kindle.

I absolutely love my Kindle Paperwhite! It’s so easy to turn the pages & my favorite part of it so far is the fact that I can click/highlight a word & it will show the definition if I don’t know it! I’m learning all the other settings as this is my very first e-reader tablet! I did add a case to mine (see photos attached)!

Best Kindle I’ve had, which would be 3 of them. It’s so much faster than my previous one and a bit larger. It’s no longer a hassle looking up words or other books etc as the screen loads and refreshes very quickly. Makes the whole experience much more enjoyable.. and allows you to focus more on the reading and less on loading times etc. Battery life seems to be better as well. I’ve only charged it once in the last couple of weeks and it was only at 80 something % when I did.

Essential for anyone who reads more than 1 book per year!Amazon has made it seamless to transfer existing ebooks in your computer. Glare free and long lasting battery...what can you ask for this price. Always recommended for anyone who wants to read books.

I really love my pink paperwhite. It's easy to navigate and easy to read. The 16 GB is plenty of space for me to have several books to keep up with. The glare free makes it easy on the eyes for extended time of reading.

I was gifted this kindle for Christmas along with kindle unlimited and I’m in love! It’s light weight, portable, and easy to use. Set up was quick and easy, I’m thoroughly enjoying my kindle and I would recommend to others!

I wasn’t sure I was going to like this because I love the experience of reading an actual book but I’m obsessed! It’s so lightweight and perfect for traveling. I can take it with me on a road trip and read multiple books without having to pack physical books in my luggage. It’s so good for reading at night as well if you have a partner that’s sleeping in bed because you can read in the dark. The kindle unlimited subscription really makes a big difference too. 10/10

I am so happy with my new Paperwhite. I had an original kindle and finally updated. I didn't want to because my original still worked. However, I am so glad I did- It is so fast!! And so light. I recommend to all!! I wish you didnt have to buy the cover separately.

My daughter loves her new kindle! She has not Stop using it since she got it. The battery last a long time, and the screen does not wear her eyes out. I recommend buying it 100%

If you’re an avid reader, reading multiple books concurrently, or don’t want to carry 500+ page books, a Kindle is for you!

I absolutely love my kindle paperwhite, it is easy to set up, hooked up to wifi instantly and have had no issues. I'm reading in it everyday and the charge lasts for weeks I've only charged it twice since original charge when I purchased it. I highly recommend.

The best purchase of 2024 it’s super fast and sleek. I love the color vibrancy.

I highly recommend this product. it is light weight, clear reading and perfect size. The text size is perfect. I was worried since the product is only 7 inches but I have no complaints and battery life is fantastic!

I'm usually not a reader but my girlfriend talked me into a kindle because of hers and it changed my life. Reading on this kindle has been amazing. I highly recommend it.

I’m so glad I chose to buy my Kindle at Best Buy! I looked everywhere for one, and Best Buy was the ONLY store to have one in stock and in store! The Kindle Paperwhite is the perfect E-Reader and I cannot put it down!

Awesome product ,a little slow frames but its a kindle its not for watching stuff or playing games. Works great for what its for. Also unbeatable battery life.

Love my kindle, great battery life and the perfect size.
