This is a wonderful gift for anyone who reads. Especially for those who read without having to tote books around.

I may have made a mistake. My wife asked for a kindle for christmas and I figured... whats the harm in that..
Little did i know my wife would proceed to ignore my existence from the moment she opened it. I now have too much free time for my own hobbies seeing as my wife is now thoroughly entertained. I wanna crack a cold one open with the boys? She doesnt even look up. Wanna play video games for a couple hours? She just sits next to me content. Want a happy wife? Get the kindle. Want attention... maybe dont. Jkjk 10/10

I considered the color versions of the Kindle e-readers, but found their contrast to be too low for comfort, and opted for this model. I think I'm glad I did...since the text is crisp and clear (in sufficient light, or with the backlight on). Its battery usage is wonderful, lasting typically a week or two with fairly heavy use.
My one complaint, so far, at least, besides the gray-scale pictures, is that signing in is frustrating in low light. I normally leave the backlight off, since I typically have sufficient light to read without it. However, when I need to turn on the device (which I have passcode-protected), it turns on the backlight during the initial start-up, but then, inexplicably, turns it OFF when asking for the code. This is very annoying, and requires unnecessary planning ahead to ensure that the backlight is ON at this point (by turning it on, then shutting off the device).
The user interface is a little clunky, compared to the Kindle app on iPhone, but since I spend the vast majority of my time with the device simply reading, it's not a major issue.

The screen is easy on the eyes. It looks like paper. You can change the warmth on it when it's dark to make it easier on your eyes when reading in a dimly lit place. If you like audio books, then it's great to be able to hook up headphones. It is simply a great e-reader!
