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.

    I read primarily on my tablet. When I wanted to read outside at home or when I went to the beach, I had to buy printed books. This eliminates the need for the printed books.

    This was a Christmas gift for my 20 year old granddaughter who is an avid reader & a current college student. She was thrilled - lightweight and can now download all of her books and so convenient to take with her almost everywhere.

    I LOVE my Kindle!!! I use it every day. I wasn't sure at first because I really love my books but when the books I wanted weren't being published anymore I had to make this purchase. I am so happy that I did.

    Exactly what I was looking for. I was surprised how "light weight" it was, even with added cover.

    I replaced my aging Kindle from several years ago with the new 2024 model. It is faster and I appreciate the ability to adjust screen settings more precisely. The incredibly long battery life is also a big plus.

    It was a little fiicky on setup, but settled down after downloading updates. I love kindles. This was an upgrade of the former paperwhite. It is pricey.

    Love the paper white! Amazing and Kindle Unlimited has great books with only paying $11.99 a month. As someone who spent a ton of money on physical copies of books often the Kindle is an amazing purchase. Also the books are cheaper on the Kindle!

    Text is very clear and easy to read in bright sunlight. It is responsive to the touch and a perfect size to hold in one hand. The font, line spacing and letter size are easily adjustable. I probably won't pickup another hard copy again.
