    So easy to set up and use. Downloading books from the library has never been easier. Had an older Nook before this and the weight is similar. Liked the Nook button on the back to turn it off better than this one located on the bottom edge.

    I love my reader. I love that I can read outdoors, and I can choose the size and the font of the text. I love the new battery life! It is for real. I can go 10 days without a charge; in fact I've never run out of power and had it off the power for 12 days. The only thing I wish, is that it were just a little bit larger. But I love everything else about it. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a good reader.

    Got a Kindle for Christmas and absolutely love it. Great for reading in bed when I can't turn lights on and on my exercise bike. Never thought I would like reading from a screen because I love holding a book, but this is great.

    Working great so far. Battery holds a charge much better and longer than old regular Kindle that we had. Best Buy did match lower price that they advertised days after I purchased this one. Very satisfied with product and Best Buy.

    This is my third Kindle. I have one of the original Kindles and also one of the later versions. I bought this Kindle so that I could read at night without turning on the light and disturbing my wife. Love my Kindles

    My kindle is light weight, I take it everywhere with me. I can order books on the spot, no more having to wait for amazon or driving to the store in search of a good read. I would recommend this for any avid reader.

    The Paperwhite was what I expected. It's easy to set up an account, and I can use it outdoors in the sun. Sadly, downloading library books is not as user friendly as I had hoped, but Amazon is in the business of selling books, not lending them.

    Only gave 4 stars because although some things I like better then previous, less expensive Kindle, the previous Kindle had many features that I liked that I can not find on this one.

    I bought this to replace my Kindle Touch I bought years ago. The other Kindle is still working but I use it so much I didn’t want to take a chance that it would stop working and be without one. Love that this one is backlit.
