I would recommend this to a friendUnimpressed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was a hold out on getting a Kindle for a very long time and I was right. It is lackluster at best. While it is convenient once you get the book downloaded, it is slow going trying to find what you want and get it downloaded. I was expecting a lot more out of this product. It is definitely not worth the price.

Do your research
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wished I had done more research. I bought to use on the library app Libby. Mistake! Got to go to library site, borrow, send to kindle. Too many steps needed. Cannot read magazines from the Libby site on my kindle. Have to keep using my small phone.

I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from Amazon Devices Customer Support
Posted .Hello PatH. Thank you for your feedback on the Kindle Paperwhite (16 GB) 2024. I understand you prefer the older style and find the new model just okay for your ebooks. The 2024 Kindle Paperwhite features a larger 7-inch display with higher contrast, faster page turns, and up to 12 weeks of battery life, along with adjustable warm light and a thinner, lighter design compared to previous generations. While the interface and user experience have been updated with new features like improved navigation and enhanced customization options, I understand that changes to familiar devices can take adjustment, especially when you were comfortable with the previous version. If you're experiencing specific difficulties with the new interface or features that are affecting your reading experience, the device settings allow you to customize many aspects of the display and navigation to better suit your preferences. I hope you find the new Kindle Paperwhite grows on you as you continue using it for your ebooks. Have a great day!

No, I would not recommend this to a friendPoor return policy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for Christmas gift on December sixth and try to get it returned because my wife wanted something different but found out your return policy is only good for two weeks. This is not good if people are buying Christmas gifts at your store. I’ll definitely remember this lesson in the future if I ever purchased from your store.

It’s not worth it
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall basic and not much new to the older generations. Yes, longer life and minor software improvements but nothing justifying such high prices. This isn’t Best Buy’s fault as Amazon sets prices, but still outrageous
