    Exactly what I wanted. Easy to use, has dark mode, I can read in the sunlight and still see the screen, and its not harsh on my eyes. I love using Kindle Unlimited too.

    I had been using my Samsung tablet for reading but it is quite heavy. I read the reviews about the paperwhite and decided to give it a try. I love it. It is lightweight and turns pages very quickly.

    Awesome product, ordered for my daughter. Lightning fast compared to my 1st generation paperwhite. Considering upgrading mine eventually with the same at a later date even thought my original still works well.

    I bought this as a gift for my granddaughter who is in college. She lives the paper white feature and said it is easy to use. She can read a book now whenever it’s convenient because she can carry it in her purse. She also uses it for her studies.

    I love how easy it is to turn the pages, to download books from Amazon, including Kindle Unlimited, and how long the battery lasts. I also got the teal one, and the color is beautiful.

    The kindle paperwhite is my favorite way to read. It’s light weight. Holds a battery charge for a significant length of time, and fits in my purse so I can read wherever I am!

    Purchased for my daughter to read more without having distraction of other apps on a tablet; this is great as a standalone device to focus on reading. Very portable, good battery life, and my daughter is pleased.

    I love my kindle! I was a physical book girlie for the longest but the lightweight kindle versus a big heavy book is really nice! I also don’t need a light to read at night when I can’t sleep! So double win!!

    Just finished my first book on my kindle. It will take a little while for me to figure out a few things. Some of the settings are a little confusing. Overall, I like it.
