    This is a very good reader for me. I had trouble setting it up, but I’m sure for someone else you would be able to do it with ease. I still give it five stars just be aware of that for me like I said again a little hard to set up.

    My fiance was excited when she got this and couldn't wait to use it for all her reading when she goes to the beach, gym, or just at home.

    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.

    Had been wanting to get a kindle for while but im old achool and love to turn pages. I decided to get one for myself for my birthday and have really enjoyed some of the free books you can get from Prime in addition to the ones I’ve purchased. I’ve read books I likely wouldn’t have read without purchasing the device which I love!

    My second kindle. I loved the first one and I have read hundreds of books on it but it got so heavy for me to hold that I had to go to a lighter version.

    I love this thing, it’s so nice to be able to have multiple books at once as opposed to trying to haul them around. It’s also nice to be able to read when it’s dark.

    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.

    The screen is easy on the eyes. It looks like paper. You can change the warmth on it when it's dark to make it easier on your eyes when reading in a dimly lit place. If you like audio books, then it's great to be able to hook up headphones. It is simply a great e-reader!

    Love the paper white! Amazing and Kindle Unlimited has great books with only paying $11.99 a month. As someone who spent a ton of money on physical copies of books often the Kindle is an amazing purchase. Also the books are cheaper on the Kindle!

    This is my third kindle and so far the best. It is larger but still lightweight. It also holds the charge longer which helps when prolonged reading alleviates the need to plug in to recharge. Also, going to the next page is faster, doesn’t lag.
