    I never thought I’d like using a Kindle. I tried an older one and it was so painfully slow. This is the perfect balance of cost and function!

    This is the one to get, the Color one above this one for a $100 extra seemed not as sharp when just looking a Black and white pdf, the one under this one for -$30 les was just too small a screen. I love mine, you can make PDFs side load them quickly using the Amazon Cloud link - when you create an Amazon account and link the reader - just drag and drop your own PDFs on to the browser and they magically apear in the Kindle - battery last for days EPIC LITTLE PDF READER ;)

    Pleased with my new Amazon Kindle Paper White ereader. I wanted a newer model because my old Amazon Kindle paper white ereader was not holding a charge. It is slightly bigger than the old one but feels comfortable in my hands. Recommend

    Enjoy having to be able to read without disturbing my husband at night. And I really enjoy kindle unlimited! I almost never have to buy the book for our bookclub and haul a bunch of books with me.

    I was previously using the Kindle app on my iPad in addition to the Libby app and swore that was good enough - I love the Kindle library and its wide selection of publications as well as independent reads. I was reluctant to purchase a Kindle as it just seemed like yet another device to carry around when I travel, but I'm so glad I did. I was also happy to learn that I could read my Libby loans on the kindle! The sharp epaper display is crisp, easy to read, fast, and much better on my eyes than the iPad screen. The device itself is also nice and light and the battery lasts forever and when I do need to charge it it uses USB-C so I can use a charger that I already have with me. I couldn't be happier with this purchase!

    Love the never version. Have had my older Kindle for like 10 years. This one feels so premium and nice. Much more zippier and overall nicer screen.

    The quality is excellent, the battery drains quickly while adding books but then lasts for weeks, the advertising isn't annoying, and the light is adequate.

    Upgraded my 2020 kindle to this one when I had a gift card. Such a good upgrade! Did not realize how slow my older edition kindle was! I am obsessed with the new one.
