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.

    Excellent device to read with, Light is soft on the eyes and it's easy to get metaphorically lost in the digital pages rather than literally while almost dropping the book on your face.

    I love it. I have light sensitivity, and looking at a regular iPad screen hurts my eyes too much, but I don’t have to worry about it with this Kindle. It is so easy to use and is user-friendly as well.

    My wife loves this! It lasts forever on charge and is super intelligent. You can touch words and it gives you insight if you don't understand the vocabulary. Such a good gift!

    The product is fine, I side load my epubs on to the kindle. However at a price point of 160 bucks I still have ads on my kindle? I have to pay another 20 bucks to remove them. So I jailbroke the kindle. Amazon is greedy

    The screen is easy on the eyes. It looks like paper. You can change the warmth on it when it's dark to make it easier on your eyes when reading in a dimly lit place. If you like audio books, then it's great to be able to hook up headphones. It is simply a great e-reader!
