    If you’re on the fence - buy it; you won’t regret it! I am an avid reader and always thought I’d hate reading on a kindle because it isn’t a physical book in my hands. I was absolutely wrong and am so happy I took a chance and got the kindle! The green color is gorgeous also

    The Kindle Paperwhite offers a satisfactory reading experience with its high-resolution display and adjustable built-in light. Its compact design makes it easy to carry around, and the long battery life ensures extended reading sessions. However, some users have found that the touch screen can be slightly less responsive compared to other devices, and the device itself might feel a bit fragile. While it's a solid e-reader with access to a vast selection of books, magazines, and audiobooks, some individuals may prefer other models or brands that offer more advanced features or a more durable build.

    I love it I love it I love it! Works perfectly, the color is just as pictured. It’s perfect for what I wanted it for. All I needed was a kindle to read ebooks, I didn’t need a bunch of bells and whistles and this is just right.

    My son loves reading, but sometimes carrying more than 1 book when we go places makes bags heavy. So with his Kindle, he has them in one compact device. He is happy, so that makes me happy about the purchase.

    It had one minor glitch that I had to reach out to customer service for resolution, but this was quickly resolved, and I am well-satisfied. I travel a lot, and this has been a game-changer for my reading needs while on the road.

    I was one to hesitate getting a kindle because i have an ipad but at the end of the day an ipad has too many distractions and the lighting on an ipad is harsh on the eyes. The Kindle has amazed me with how long i can read without my vision being bothered at all. I highly recommend you get a kindle.

    Love my paperwhite. It reads well and is easy on the eyes. My only complaint is the slight lag when trying to scroll or click on something. It's not nearly as bad as my nook was but it's still bothersome. I have taken to adding & browsing books from the app on my phone instead of on the kindle itself. I'm an avid reader so my battery life absolutely will not make the ten weeks but it does last a very long time.

    Slick, soft, battery lasts a good time. However it does stain rather easily. I suggest a case. Other then it’s mint

    I take my kindle paperwhite everywhere I go. In the shower, on the beach, to the bathroom, to work, to school, etc. I would say I have a healthy attachment to it. It’s the best purchase I’ve ever made and the primary source of my happiness. Do yourself a favor a get one.

    Nothing beats a kindle in the reading experience department. Was using a iPad mini for a couple of years and the need to constantly charge and the glare of the screen just made it a subpar experience, Kindle is the way to goe easily
