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!

I purchased the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 16GB (2024) for my wife’s birthday, and she absolutely loves it. The screen is very clear and easy on the eyes, even after long reading sessions. She really likes how lightweight it is, and the 16GB of storage is more than enough for all her books. The battery life is impressive — she can read for days without needing to charge it. It’s a perfect upgrade from her older Kindle. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a reliable and comfortable e-reader!

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.

I always thought I would prefer physical books to an e reader, but I love my Kindle! It’s so lightweight and easy to hold. Tapping to turn the page has actually helped me to read faster than I could with physical books. I love that I can easily purchase a book and have a whole library with me on the go. If you’ve been on the fence like I always was then I definitely suggest getting one!

I purchased this for my wife for Christmas 2024 and she has absolutely loved it! i did some research before purchasing and found that this model is faster than the previous Paper White which appealed to me! i love the fact that i can side load books for her to read and the battery life is AMAZING it last for a while she like to read at night and can dim the light on it plus it has a night time reading mode.
Good size and weight. Translation could be better.

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.

Initial set up of the internet and account settings was a bit confusing and frustrating (thanks to reddit for helpign figure it out!). However, after finally setting it up, pretty simple to use. It is easy on the eyes when reading on the plane or in bed at night. Heads up, this is NOT the ad free version. If you get this one, you’ll have ads until you remove them manually. Over all, would recommend getting if youre a casual reader or you would like to vet into reading more often.

I had been using my Samsung tablet for reading but it is quite heavy. I read the reviews about the paperwhite and decided to give it a try. I love it. It is lightweight and turns pages very quickly.

I really like this kindle. It came quick which is one of the main reasons I got it and I use it a lot more than I expected. I love physical books but I truly am growing on my kindle.

I love my new Kindle! I've updated from the one I bought in 2012 so this is quite an upgrade. I love the paperwhite feature so that I can read without any other lights & the new slightly bigger size it great! It's easy to figure out how to use all the features, very intuitive.
I would recommend this to a friend

I bought this for my girlfriend and she loves it! It came with amazon unlimited for free for 1 month after signing up! She loves the portability of the device although slightly bigger than the other models it is still compact enough for her to fit into her purse. I recommend this for any book lover as being able to read on the go with unlimited books at your fingertips is a dream!

If you are wondering if it’s worth it, don’t wonder more. It is! Super light, beautiful resolution, and the amount of customization is perfect. Very portable. One good cover and you are good to go. I only dislike the ad screen when not in use. It’s an Amazon thing.

Love my Kindle. I have read 2 books on it so far. I love that I can read in the dark now without having to keep the light on. I take it everywhere w/ me. It's much easier to hold than a regular paper back book & light weight.
