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.

    Bought it for the fiancée who has become an avid reader as of late, she loves it. The capability to have lots of books on the device at once with the subscription and the ability to change the lighting also is a very nice feature.

    I love my kindle. I prefer a physical book but we were traveling…I ended up reading 6 books in that week. Definitely worth not hauling books around.

    I like the size and appearance of the Paper White. I liked the availability of collection grouping to aid in finding the books I am reading. However, it appears a bit difficult to move around in. I could get a Hoopla book the I had been reading on my Fire.

    Good product. A little larger than the last one we had. I would not fit in the old case. Had to purchase new case.

    Purchased during a sale and then the delivery was canceled and kindle was returned without notification. After talking to customer service I was able to still get the discounted rate! Purchased as a present and they love it.

    This is a good reader. It is easy to hold. I am used to Nook so there were a few differences to get used to.

    I am a big reader and had previously always bought paperback books. I had someone recommended getting a kindle and it was the best money ever spent. It’s small enough to fit in my purse and I take it everywhere with me. The battery life on it is amazing:)
