    This is my sixth Kindle - and so far my favorite. I love the raspberry color, the battery life and the improved software making it easier to navigate my books. I chose Best Buy to buy my new kindle because they had the best price and the bonus of in-store service.

    The Kindle Works great! It is very handy to read and enjoy reading books in a new handy format. Looking forward to taking it along on vacation to take out on the plane or on long drives or hotel stays. It also bought the matching case and it compliments the Kindle nicely.

    Bought the Kindle Paperwhite for my wife, who loves reading novels. This thing is perfect—crisp screen, adjustable backlight, lightweight, and a battery that seems to last forever. It’s great for nighttime reading without lighting up the whole room, and it keeps everything discreet (no awkward book covers lying around). She uses it constantly, and it’s easily one of her favorite devices. Highly recommend for anyone who reads a lot and wants a comfortable, private, and high-quality reading experience.

    Excellent value and performance I’m extremely pleased with the Shokz OpenFit 2 true wireless earbuds. The price is very reasonable for the quality you get. Sound quality is clear and well-balanced, and they perform great for music, calls, and everyday use. The fit is outstanding—comfortable and secure without causing ear fatigue, even after extended wear. They’re easy to use, connect quickly, and stay in place during activity. Overall, an excellent product that delivers on price, sound, and comfort. Highly recommended.

    WAY BETTER than my 2017 Paperwhite. So good I got a second one for my wife. Easily the best way to read a book, whether you're out at the beach (glare-free), snuggled up on the couch (easy to handle with one hand), or laying in bed with your partner asleep (can adjust backlight, so no need for lamp)!

    I never thought I’d like using a Kindle. I tried an older one and it was so painfully slow. This is the perfect balance of cost and function!

    This Kindle is so worth it if you enjoy reading. I have bad eyes, and reading on this is so much better than an iPad. I can take it outside, read in the pool, take it everywhere, fits in a purse very well.

    I read for several hours per day, nearly 365 days per year. This device has made it exponentially easier to accomplish my reading goals. I love the color temperature adjustment, I prefer a softer lighting at home and a cooler tone at places like the airport. Super portable and lightweight, this thing is great to travel with! The text is crisp and clear, and I've never had any issue with shadowing if the screen is left on for too long. 10/10.

    Easy to set up. It has nice features, like making the text larger. Compact size--it is easy to carry around. Good battery life. Though I thought I would never shift away from paper books, this is definitely making me change away from paper.
