    while stuck in traffic for two hours at night, I was able to take my Kindle out of my purse and sit in the back seat and read. Love the ability to take it with me in a small purse, and be easier to read than an i-phone.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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)!

    Bought as a gift for someone and they loved it! Said the battery lasts a very long time and it’s really fun and easy to use. Ordered online and it was shipped to my house next day.
