    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 was shy about getting a Kindle. Now that I have I literally don't leave the house without it. Please know when you first get it an are setting it up that when you are on WIFI the battery life doesn't last like it should. Once it is on airplane mode it does.

    I bought this Kindle PaperWhite for a trip to Hawaii! I always loved taking books on vacation but hated packing 3 or 4 of them! I am a fast reader and was able to read 10 books by the pool and on the lanai! I also loved cozying up with my Kindle by the Christmas tree!

    My wife loves it. Great product that allows her to read her “fun” books without the need to walk around with the book and the looks from others that come with those books….or at least that’s what I assume she is reading…

    Such a game changer! I love my Kindle Paperwhite so much. It allows me to read easier and have access to my books so easily! I can just toss my Kindle in my bag no matter where I’m heading and it barely takes up any space at all. I love that the font size and brightness are customizable as well. I have my brightness very low to allow me to read in bed at night, and even when I’m reading outside in the bright sunlight I never have to adjust the brightness - it just makes the screen look even more like book pages. Another feature I love is how it estimates the remaining time in a chapter as well as the estimate to finish the book! I purchased a clear case which has allowed me to put stickers on the back as well as a pop socket and I love it. I am obsessed with my Kindle Paperwhite!!!

    Love my kindle. Don’t wake my husband at night with a reading lamp clipped on my book. I truly miss the tactile feeling of holding a book, but arthritis in my thumbs made that more difficult through the years. I also like being able to just touch a word and the definition pops up.Sometimes when I’m reading a book book, I forget and touch a word hoping that the definition will pop up and then realize I have to look it up myself. I get a good chuckle out of that.

    I do like the fact that it fits in my purse very conveniently. And I love how long the life of the battery life is. The only bad part is that it’s only black and white.

    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)!

    I’ve wanted to get a Kindle for a long time vut I was being skeptic because I have Kindle on my phone anyway. However, with long periods of reading, the glare on my phone gives me migraines. With Kindle E-reader, U was able to read and finish books faster because I can read on it for long hours! I also don’t have to worry about accumulating the books I’m reading since I don’t have a place to put them! Definitely a Best Buy Great Buy for me.
