    I received this gift for Christmas and I’ve loved it so far! It’s very bright you don’t need to turn the brightness up very high to be able to see it outside. Long lasting battery, and pretty color.

    I replaced my aging Kindle from several years ago with the new 2024 model. It is faster and I appreciate the ability to adjust screen settings more precisely. The incredibly long battery life is also a big plus.

    I gave this kindle as a Christmas gift and it was amazing! The no glare makes it easy to read for longer periods of time! Battery life s longer than expected. It’s light and easy to hold. No regrets over this purchase.

    Size and weight of the device is perfect for holding on couch or bed. Display feels like reading on the actual book. Translation is good but could be better. Could have been a good option to add a few lines to personal note.

    Got this as a gift for my wife who is an avid reader. She has had some Kindles before and this is, by far, her favorite. Super light. Easy to hold and carry around. She loves the screen and the glare-free reading.

    Kindle a 5 star!

    The Kindle is a 5 star! However, Best Buy not so much! I returned the Kindle and purchased it online through Amazon. Best Buy issued me a faulty e-gift card through my Discover Card rewards. After bringing it to their attention they realized the card number was good but the pin # was the problem. Best Buy claimed they would fix the issue within 48 hours. Unfortunately, weeks have gone by and it hasn’t happened. :( Best Buy & Discover Rewards Program!

    EPIC LITTLE PDF READER ;)

    This is the one to get, the Color one above this one for a $100 extra seemed not as sharp when just looking a Black and white pdf, the one under this one for -$30 les was just too small a screen. I love mine, you can make PDFs side load them quickly using the Amazon Cloud link - when you create an Amazon account and link the reader - just drag and drop your own PDFs on to the browser and they magically apear in the Kindle - battery last for days EPIC LITTLE PDF READER ;)

    Beware, Is the Version With Ads

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The summary did not state this is the Kindle version with ads. I would not have purchased it if I had known that. I also am not a fan of the new Kindle itself as it is not as user friendly than the previous Paperwhite I had that I only replaced because it would no longer hold a charging cable. This one has an awkward power button location, the pages turn with the slightest hand movement, making you lose your place in a book all the time. The search feature is also too sensitive. I also find it does not auto download books quite often. You have to tell it to download, adding a step that did not exist before.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Great display and excellent battery life. The size is perfect (just small enough to take places but big enough to read off of). I thought I'd have a problem with reading this instead of books, but I honestly prefer the kindle to an actual book. It had dark mode, which is great for reading at night. I absolutely love that you can hightlight, mark-up, and look up the definitions to words easily.

    Love the never version. Have had my older Kindle for like 10 years. This one feels so premium and nice. Much more zippier and overall nicer screen.

    Got this for my 11 year old daughter who is an avid reader. Screen is bright and really does look like you’re looking a piece of paper. Just big enough to enjoy hours of reading. She loves the pink color and you can’t beat the monthly Kindle subscription to get thousands of books!
