    I was previously using the Kindle app on my iPad in addition to the Libby app and swore that was good enough - I love the Kindle library and its wide selection of publications as well as independent reads. I was reluctant to purchase a Kindle as it just seemed like yet another device to carry around when I travel, but I'm so glad I did. I was also happy to learn that I could read my Libby loans on the kindle! The sharp epaper display is crisp, easy to read, fast, and much better on my eyes than the iPad screen. The device itself is also nice and light and the battery lasts forever and when I do need to charge it it uses USB-C so I can use a charger that I already have with me. I couldn't be happier with this purchase!

    I have nothing bad to say about this product. Out of all the generations of Kindles you can change the font, the margins, and dim the lights!! I Love the fact that it’s waterproof, now I can read while floating in the pool, no worries of kids splashing! I wish they would make having color a standard thing. Oh, and no ads!

    I got this Kindle for my daughter. She absolutely loves it. The best part about it is that it can hold up to 15,000 books which is more than enough storage. It is so light and easy to take with you anywhere you go you can just put it in your purse. It’s easy on the eyes since it is a paper white. I would totally recommend anybody who has been wanting one to get this one.

    The kindle makes reading enjoyable again. You don’t need a light, can make the font as large as you want. Fits in a fanny pack so it’s great for travel. Love it

    I love my kindle. It’s provided easier access to my books across more spaces. While I still have a deep love for a physical book in my hands, the kindle makes it easier to bring it with me to places the book might not do so well in, such as work. The battery also seems to last for weeks between charges.
