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.

    Kindle the product ran great and was very smooth and worked as intended. I have to put a warning and put 3 stars as I could not enjoy the product as the software and the subscription service kindle unlimited is terrible. "4 million books to read with unlimited" What they dont tell you is, its 4 million misfit and unwanted books and the popular books that want to be read you have to still pay out the butt for them.

    We have had a number of Kindle devices in the household over the years, and this one seems to be the best. The screen is great and having access to dozens of books while on vacation or on a plane is fantastic, I do note that these are essentially disposable devices, as this purchase was to replace my wife’s previous paper wait, which just went unresponsive and was bricked with no fix,

    I take my kindle everywhere. It’s very light, fits in my fanny pack. I love how you can adjust the lighting, font size, brightness. The best part is the battery life. I haven’t charged it for a whole month. You can also add a PIN code to lock the kindle. It’s My new favorite toy!
