    I am legally blind so reading booked even large print editions are impossible for me. I was very hesitant on a Kindle but have put so many hours on mine since I got it. Ease of reading and convivence is well worth it.

    I recently purchased the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite from Best Buy, and I couldn't be more satisfied with my decision. As an avid reader, I was looking for a device that could provide a seamless and enjoyable reading experience, and the Kindle Paperwhite has exceeded my expectations. **Pros:** 1. **Display Quality**: The 6.8-inch display is crisp and clear, making reading a pleasure. The adjustable warm light feature reduces eye strain, which is a huge plus for long reading sessions. 2. **Battery Life**: The battery life is impressive. I’ve been using it daily for over a week and haven’t had to recharge yet. 3. **Waterproof Design**: The waterproof feature gives me peace of mind when reading by the pool or in the bath. 4. **Storage**: With 8 GB of storage, I can carry thousands of books with me wherever I go. 5. **Access to Kindle Store**: Having instant access to the vast Kindle Store is fantastic. Downloading new books is quick and easy. **Cons:* 1. **Price**: While the Kindle Paperwhite is a bit of an investment, I believe it's worth every penny for serious readers. 2. **Lack of Physical Buttons**

    I recently purchased the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 2022 in Black, and it has completely transformed my reading experience. As an avid reader, I've used several e-readers in the past, but this one stands out as one of the best. The 16GB storage capacity ensures I can carry my entire library wherever I go, without worrying about running out of space. The device is incredibly lightweight and sleek, making it comfortable to hold for extended reading sessions. The black color adds a touch of elegance and sophistication, giving it a premium look. The 2022 model boasts a glare-free 6-inch display with a high resolution, making the text crisp and easy on the eyes, even in bright sunlight. The adjustable front light is a game-changer, allowing me to read comfortably day or night without straining my eyes. Navigating through the interface is intuitive and smooth. I appreciate how responsive the touchscreen is, enabling me to turn pages effortlessly with just a swipe of my finger. Additionally, the battery life is impressive; I can go weeks without needing to recharge, even with frequent usage. One of the standout features is the integration with the Kindle store and Kindle Unlimited subscription. Accessing a vast selection of books, magazines, and audiobooks is a breeze, and the syncing capability across devices ensures I can seamlessly switch between reading on my Kindle and other devices like my phone or tablet. The Kindle Paperwhite's durability and water-resistant design make it a reliable companion, whether I'm reading by the poolside or during my daily commute. In conclusion, the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 2022 in Black has exceeded my expectations in every aspect. It offers a fantastic reading experience with its sharp display, long battery life, and convenient portability. If you're an avid reader like me, investing in this e-reader will undoubtedly enhance your reading journey. Pros: Ample 16GB storage capacity Sleek and lightweight design Glare-free, high-resolution display Adjustable front light for comfortable reading in any lighting conditions Seamless integration with Kindle store and Kindle Unlimited Durable and water-resistant Cons: None found. Highly recommended!

    Love it. It's way better than reading on a tablet. It doesn't keep you up at night and is easy on the eyes for long time reading. It's easy to use, works great with Libby and Kindle Unlimited. Got my mom hooked on it too. I've done more reading in one month than I have in a decade with this Kindle

    I absolutely LOVE my kindle gen 11 paperwhite. The battery on it lasts SOOO long, and the best part is that i can read in the dark without having to use a booklight or something which disturbs my fiance when he is trying to sleep. Im glad I went with best buy instead of amazon, since it was on sale here and cheaper than if i had bought it through amazon. I absolutely recommend buying one of these!!

    Love it but it is prone to scratches

    Posted .

    I love my kindle paperwhite, it's so convenient and portable. It has reignited my love for reading. I truly use it almost everyday and I love that I can get ebooks for free from my library through Libby and read them on my kindle. However, my biggest complaints are with the screen. I keep my kindle in a soft kindle sleeve I bought off etsy but there are some times when I forget the sleeve and just throw it in my bag without it. As a result, I've noticed a few scratches on the screen. For the most part they are almost unoticeable except in certain lighting. I especially notice these scratches when reading in direct sunlight, the sunlight causes small shadows from the scratches onto the words on the screen and they can be distracting. I've heard the Kindle Oasis screen is made of a stronger glass that is more resistant to scratches so I hope they update all newer kindles models as such. It is great for reading outside in the sun (there's no glare!) and so convenient to read in a dark bedroom before bed. However, I've noticed that any indoor overhead lighting causes a bright glare on the screen. This glare is a bright circle of light that blocks words and makes it hard to read unless you move the screen around to avoid the glare. Overall I do love my kindle, it's pricy for something that is easily scratched so I recommend buying one during Amazon's annual sale. And make sure to get a screen protector or a protective case!

    I’m so happy with this kindle. I love that it has a backlight but it still feels like you’re looking at paper. It has a “time left in chapter/book” feature that makes reading even more fun. My previous kindle was 11+ years old and worked fine but the upgrade was even more worth it than I expected.

    While I still love an actual book, this kindle provides a much lighter option to slip into my purse or bag. Also very handy on an airplane due to the backlight. Easy to setup and use. A must have for the reader on the go. Also doesn’t hurt your eyes like reading on a phone or tablet can

    The refresh rate is bad, but this isn’t a tablet. The screen is very easy on my eyes, even if I’m reading at night with no lights on. Battery life is phenomenal. I’ve had it nearly two weeks and only charged it once.

    I thoroughly enjoy this Kindle. I’m an avid reader and I’m so happy I can literally take all my books with me. Battery life is great and the paper white screen is very easy on the eyes. The Kindle subscription also has a huge selection of books I can read for free. I do miss the feel of a real book, but this is very convenient.
