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.

    Beware, Is the Version With Ads

    The summary did not state this is the Kindle version with ads. I would not have purchased it if I had known that. I also am not a fan of the new Kindle itself as it is not as user friendly than the previous Paperwhite I had that I only replaced because it would no longer hold a charging cable. This one has an awkward power button location, the pages turn with the slightest hand movement, making you lose your place in a book all the time. The search feature is also too sensitive. I also find it does not auto download books quite often. You have to tell it to download, adding a step that did not exist before.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
