    Got this for my daughter for Christmas and she loves it! She used it when she flew and finished 2 books with plenty of battery still left.

      i KrystalP,

      Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that your daughter loves her new Kindle Paperwhite in Jade—what a fantastic Christmas gift!

      It's great to know that the Kindle performed beautifully during her flight, allowing her to finish two books while still having plenty of battery life remaining. The Kindle Paperwhite's impressive battery life (lasting weeks on a single charge with typical use) makes it the perfect travel companion, whether for long flights, road trips, or vacations. Plus, with 16 GB of storage, she'll have room for thousands of books to keep her entertained on all her future adventures.

      We're so glad the Kindle is already proving to be a hit with your daughter. We hope it continues to bring her many enjoyable reading experiences wherever she goes!

      Happy reading! AmazonDevices

    Writing this after almost a year I got it. In short, I loved it. Glare-free and matte feel display is amazing. Battery life is astonishing if you mostly use it during the day (doesn’t use screen light). Overall a great buy!

    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.

    Easy to set up. It has nice features, like making the text larger. Compact size--it is easy to carry around. Good battery life. Though I thought I would never shift away from paper books, this is definitely making me change away from paper.

    Amazing battery life!! I have had my kindle for about six months now, and read an average of 4 hours per week…I think I’ve only charged this one or twice!

    Fast delivery. Arrived in tact and with care. This device is terrific. I love having the ability to read floating in the pool and traveling with multiple books without the weight and space in taken up in my suitcase. Fits well in my purse. I love being able to read in the dark and not disturb my boyfriend while he's sleeping.

    Have one of these and am purchasing for my dad. Cannot go wrong with a paperwhite. I upgraded to this one and it is much faster and the battery lasts a very long time.
