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.

    Got this as a gift for a friend. She loved it. I love mine also. Light weight, can read in sun or bed. Love books but as a senior with arthtitis and aging eyes love this better the majority of the time.

    I love this thing. From time to time the lightning flickers which can be a little distracting. Also, the lock screen ads are unnecessary, but where its only when locked its not that big of a deal. Overall its amazing and makes my reading experience significantly better.

    This kindle model is far more advanced than the previous generations. A great purchase with a significantly larger storage capacity - interface remains simple and easy to use.

    Been wanting a kindle for a while, I love reading if I go on errands but sometimes the physical book just makes my purse heavier than I want it to be. Also it makes reading at night alot easier too and I’m not disturbing my husband with the light.
