    As an educator for nearly two decades, I was “anti-device” for reading books. Everything we do is on a screen nowadays; I want to hold and smell books for the nostalgia. BUT I finally caved after talking to my best friend who has loved her kindle for years. Reading is a hobby and passion of mine, and now, I can carry my kindle anywhere I go and do not have to worry about carrying books. I’m obsessed!

    Wow! I never thought I’d say I love my Kindle more than my physical books. It’s just something about being able to lie in bed toss and turn with no issues with reading a book comfortably no matter the angle. No worries of holding the book open nor having enough light. Able to see progress in book and change the font size. I love it! So convenient! Oh and did I mention it’s a nice size to travel in bag/purse! No worries of damaging your book and you’ll have multiple books on hand. AMAZING!

    My wife reads a lot, she probably has a couple hundred books read on this thing since I bought it for her. Great if you read a ton and the screen is great for multiple environments whether it be indoors or outside somewhere.

    The Kindle Paperwhite is a solid e-reader that is easy to use and set up, and should last for a long time. I thought it was a great value and use it for digital library books and purchases.

    I’m not really a big reader, but I tried my dad’s kindle while on an 8hr flight and I realized it’s very convenient to use and actually was fun to use to read books. One of my major issues is that I tend to lose my line while reading a physical book, but with a kindle it was not the case. Definitely love using this. Now I’m on my 3rd book reading on a kindle :)

    This is one thing I would recommend buying new moms for nursing sessions! It helped me stop doom scrolling and read some books while pumping or during longer nursing sessions etc. I know some people say you can just download the kindle app but its not the same, plus it’s distracting due to notifications and having social media at your finger tips.

    One of the best purchases I've made in a while. Will be traveling the next couple months and didn't want the weight of books, but the kindle has surpassed my expectations. A bit slower compared to the touch sensitivity of an iPad or iPhone, but the display feels weirdly similar to a book especially when you're reading in the sun.

    I have always been a hands on book kinda gal. Being a person who travels a lot, it has become difficulty to pack books for reading. I bit the perverbual bullet and bought a kindle. This purchase has been a life changer! Love it! Highly recommended.

    The Kindle Paperwhite is the perfect e-reader for both avid book lovers and those just starting their e-reading journey. My girlfriend is the avid reader and I am the beginner. And we both love this product and the fact that we can use our local library card to link it to the app Libby to rent books for a few weeks. For Avid Readers: Large 6.8” screen displays more text per page for faster reading Warm light adjusts screen tone for nighttime reading Up to 10 weeks of battery life means no constant recharging 8GB storage holds thousands of ebooks Faster page turns increase reading momentum For Beginner Readers: Crisp 300 ppi resolution makes text sharp and clear Intuitive interface is easy to navigate X-Ray scans book contents for references Built-in dictionary defines any word instantly Waterproofing allows worry-free reading anywhere Cons: No physical buttons (I don’t mind this at all) Price (Mixed feelings about this) Not the best for image-heavy books But with its combination of an immersive display, long battery life, storage space for an extensive library, and waterproof design, the Kindle Paperwhite is ideal for book lovers who want to read for hours without interruption. And its intuitive interface and helpful reading features make it great for those just getting started on their first e-reader. For any level of reader, the Paperwhite provides convenience and versatility. We love it!

    The Kindle is fantastic. I switched from listening to Audible. It’s lightweight making it easier to read anywhere. Also, extremely easy to navigate. It allows for brightness, text size, screen softness. I love you can touch a word & get meanings. Leave a bookmark, so you don’t loose your place. Lots of good reads, as well.
