Customers are saying

Customers commend the Kindle Paperwhite (16 GB) for its portability, overall performance, and amazing battery life. 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.

    This is an excellent reader. When selecting a cover online, make certain it will fit the 2024 model. Kindle has recently changed the dimensions so the covers that fit models as recently as 2022 do not fit in 2024. BestBuy apparently does not have an appropriate cover for this year's model. I had to go to Amazon for a cover - which is annoying!

    Replacement. 5th or 6th Kindle my wife has owned. Uses it every day. The Geek Squad people did a great job setting it up and getting her saved books transferred over.

    I love my kindle paper white. The adjustable brightness helps when I’m wanting to read in bed at night. The long battery life is one of the best features. I could not recommend this product enough

    This is a switch from my very, very old Fire tablet that I primarily used as an e-reader, so I opted to switch to the paperwhite. So far, so good, although it would be great if you did not have to pay more to get rid of ads and if the Libby or other library apps could be added to make renting books even easier, rather than renting using my phone then sending to my Kindle

    My paper white Kindle is a life changer! I can read in the dark now without it hurting my eyes. There is a wide variety of books on the Kindle Unlimited which saves you a lot of money on paperback books!

    Had been wanting to get a kindle for while but im old achool and love to turn pages. I decided to get one for myself for my birthday and have really enjoyed some of the free books you can get from Prime in addition to the ones I’ve purchased. I’ve read books I likely wouldn’t have read without purchasing the device which I love!
