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.

    Great service. The courtesy clerk arranging my order was able to get my item delivered three days earlier than expected. Important as my order was a gift occasion. Best Buy was also price competitive.

    It's my first kindle and so far works great. I was a bit confused by the color though since I thought it was going to be metallic jade but I guess that's only for the paperwhite signature.

    i love the paperwhite but i ended up loving the basic a little bit more. i love the screen and the paper like look of the paperwhite but the basic was just a lot brighter and i found myself picking it up more than i did the PW. i give it 4 stars because there’s nothing really bad about it, it’s just a preference thing.

    I really like this kindle. It came quick which is one of the main reasons I got it and I use it a lot more than I expected. I love physical books but I truly am growing on my kindle.

    My third kindle. I know it’s time for a new one when it gets sluggish. This has some excellent new features, like better lighting control with warm/cool range. Really fast and responsive.

    This is my first Kindle and I am really enjoying it! The dark mode feature is great. It also links up to you audible account and will play audiobooks as long as you connect a Bluetooth headset to it.
