Many appreciate its great size, amazing screen quality, and lightweight design, with some also enjoying the available color. While some find the user interface a little clunky and the price a bit expensive, glare is not an issue for users.

    I'm very happy with this purchase, I bought it about 3 weeks ago and even with daily use the battery was still at 40% Lots of great features and if you don't want to buy books its compatible with the libby app so you can borrow E-Books from your local library.

    I really enjoy how it looks like a book and how easy it is to use. I also like that it is easy to take when I go places. It's the perfect size. I also really like the color on the back, it is pretty just like the photos.

    I love my new Kindle. Easy to take with me wherever I go. No need for a reading light as the backlit works in every situation. I loved it so much I bought another one for my daughter who doesn’t have room to collect books.

    The Kindle that we purchased from Best Buy has been great. We love not having to bring a stack of books when we travel. We just download the books when we are ready to read them. The greatest feature is being able to read our books when we go to the beach. The screen does not have glare when reading in bright sunlight.

    I always thought I would prefer physical books to an e reader, but I love my Kindle! It’s so lightweight and easy to hold. Tapping to turn the page has actually helped me to read faster than I could with physical books. I love that I can easily purchase a book and have a whole library with me on the go. If you’ve been on the fence like I always was then I definitely suggest getting one!
