    It got me back into reading again, I truly enjoy the ease of taking it with me. I have always been a paper book person but this is just too convenient for me not to love.

    It does the job. Good size and perfectly lightweight. Going back to the main menu is a bit confusing.

    My kindle was one of the best purchases I’ve ever made! It comes with me every where! If you’re on the fence between physical book and a kindle I’d recommend the kindle 100x!

    I like that it had a USB c port now. The Kindle is also a lot smoother and fast making typing on the keyboard mich easier. The fluidity also makes using the store on the Kindle practical.

    This is a very good reader for me. I had trouble setting it up, but I’m sure for someone else you would be able to do it with ease. I still give it five stars just be aware of that for me like I said again a little hard to set up.

    The Kindle paper white 16gb is the perfect gift for someone who loves to read. You can read outside in bright sunlight or in your bed in darkness. Being waterproof is an added bonus. What a truly inspiring way to read!

    Love the speed of my unlimited reads now. The only downside is it's so sensitive to the upper screen that reduces the size of the page.
