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.

    My wife loves this Kindle! I bought her this since she's a book addict and cant seem to put them down. This made gifting so much easier since now I can just get her a giftcard to download a book online.

    Great reader with long battery life. Not very intuitive with only one button (on/off) and no instructions to figure out how to get to certain menus or close a book to start a new.

    Just finished my first book on my kindle. It will take a little while for me to figure out a few things. Some of the settings are a little confusing. Overall, I like it.

    Wife absolutely loves this paperwhite. We had the 2015 7th Gen and upgrading to this was a must for mother's Day. She loves this thing! She has noticed several big upgrades compared to the older, most notably the screen size and clarity. Highly recommend!
