Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased one for myself a few months ago & now this one is for my husband. No glare inside or outside. It adjusts itself once I have my brightness preference set. Light weight & battery life is amazing!

Briught my Kindle Paperwhite on a beautiful sunny cruise. It was wonderful. It's easy to read in the sun, or the shade. Simple to download books, easy to charge, held a charge for days worth of reading.

The Kindle White is easy to use, light and its manual is easy to access and use while learning how to get around on it if you have never had a Kindle before. Good product for the price.

Had put this off thinking my iPad would suffice but it was hard on my eyes. The Paperwhite is easy to download, much lighter to hold while reading, compact enough to carry in my purse when I have some downtime for reading, and emits a much kinder light for reading at night. Just what this book lover needed!

After ranting against e-readers for years, I decided that I could use one for the long bus trips into and back from work. Tablets gave me eyestrain, and one of my brothers (who happened to have the same problem with tablet-reading) suggested doing what he did and getting a Paperwhite. This thing is amazing! I am now a firm believer! The simplicity of its controls, the portability, and Best Buy's 2-year extended warranty have made this something I ALWAYS carry with me!

The Kindle Paperwhite reader is great for reading in the dark. Its very light and easy to maneuver the pages. I haven't tried reading it outdoors yet but when summer time comes I'll be using it alot.

My wife and I like to go to the beach, and lay out by the pool during the spring and summer months. She reads it in direct sunlight with no glare! She also likes to read it at night before we get to sleep. She loves it and calls it her little piece of technology heaven. The Kindle paperwhite is small, lightweight, and lights up at night allowing reading without harsh light filling the room. Water resistance and long battery life are a plus as well. Two thumbs up!

I absolutely love my Kindle Paperwhite. No glare no matter where I am reading. It is lightweight and the right size to take along in my purse. I had never had a kindle before and I am amazed with it!

I did my research before I bought this and there have been no surprises. I wanted a nice easy screen to read, and a good battery. The paperwhite has both. For the price it is hard to beat this device.

The Kindle Paperwhite is lightweight and simple to use! I love my kindle! It looks just like I'm reading a regular book but I don't have to worry about flipping pages I just slide my finger or tap!

Like most, I love reading actual books that I can feel in my hand and turn the physical pages of. Due to that thinking, I spent years not really considering a Kindle. All I can say is that I wish I had one years ago!! It's incredibly easy to read on, and so handy to have. I load up tons of books, which take up no space, and am all set. And I love that I can read before bed without having to leave the light on. Having a Kindle has reinvigorated my love of reading, and I'm reading more than I have in the last few years. Cannot recommend this enough.

I had one of the original Kindles for about 5 years and enjoyed it very much. After it was stolen from my office I got the Kindle Paperwhite. Other than having to get used to doing everything by touchscreen I like it even better than my old Kindle. I especially like the backlight. And, of course, having everything stored in the cloud meant I didn't lose all of my previously purchased books. I do wish it had multiple static pictures to display when turned off the way the old Kindle did. I do hope whoever stole my old Kindle enjoys their new paperweight because that is all that it is good for except for the books already on it. I had it locked down as soon as I discovered it missing.

I love reading on my kindle paperwhite! I can read much faster than with a traditional paperback, and I love being able to carry my library on a slim device when I travel. The backlight is super helpful for reading in bed or other low-light conditions. The battery life is also amazing! I suggest leaving your kindle on airplane mode when you want the battery to last longer. I’m very happy with my kindle paperwhite!

In an effort to simply and cut down on the number of books I shelve and store I bought the paper white Kindle by Amazon. I had previously owned a Fire and it fatigued my eyes after reading and like my books ended up on a shelf. My parents swear by their Kindle Paper White's and so I decided to give it a try! I Love IT! Easy to read, easy on the eyes, I can read it in bed without keeping my wife awake, super lite and the battery lasts forever!

I bought this as a replacement for my wife's old Kindle 3g. I got the wifi version only since she rarely used the 3g. I have to say that this version is much nicer in some ways and is lacking in others. My wife really misses the physical keyboard, but she has quickly gotten used to the touch-screen. The dpi is MUCH better, and the screen is much easier to read. The refresh times are a lot better. I don't see there being a need to upgrade if yours is currently working, but you shouldn't hesitate if you're in the market for an excellent e-book reader.

I was looking for a reader that was just a reader. I did not want a tablet. The Paperwhite is the perfect choice for me. It is very easy to use and has a clear reading surface. It is a great size and I can read outside, inside and in the dark. I read the reviews and then went to Best Buy to see it. It was everything the reviews said. Some said there is a gray area at the bottom of the screen but I did not find that. I highly recommend it.

After a lot of internal debate, review reading and getting tired of trying to hold onto my iPad in bed, I broke down and purchased this e-reader. To which I am truly glad that I made the purchase. It is light, easy to read, has a great battery life and a does not have the distractions of a smart phone or tablet. For these reasons, I'd highly recommend adding this tech to your arsenal.

I bought this reader because my Nook was hard to read in the sun. THis reader was easy to use and great for any light including sunlight.

This is my 4th Kindle. I love that it can be used in any light... even no light at all. It is small and easy to carry around. Still has all the best features of all the others before it.

Love the paperwhite! I have a tablet as well that I read books on but the paperwhite is so much better to read on. I can read it in any lighting and there is no glare. The paperwhite is strictly for books and magazines you cannot play games or use it for Facebook, etc. I find a tablet to be too distracting for that reason. So if you are serious about reading this is a great product. Also love that it is touch screen, that way you don't have to worry about pushing buttons by accident. The paperwhite is also rather lightweight, which makes it easy to hold and doesn't make your arms tired while holding it.
