    I have a Kindle Fire that I still use, but it's difficult to read outside, even under an umbrella, because of glare. So that is why I purchased the Paperwhite and I haven't been disappointed. I can read in full sun!

    It's my 4th Kindle. New model replacements plus 1 stolen. They are all great. I read a lot--at least 2-3 ebooks a week. I put it in my purse and take it with me to restaurants if I'm eating alone. Love my Kindles

    This is the first time I buy a kindle product. And the price is fairly good since I get the 20 discount! The screen reads like real papers. But the background light I think is not necessary because it will reduce the quality of reading.

    biased in favor of right handed persons but performs as promised. it would be nice if a lefty could move pages with his left hand as a righty can move pages with his right hand.

    My wife has always been a diehard paperback/ hardback reader. She’s not the least bit techy. I went out on a limb and bought her this Kindle . She hasn’t picked up a book since and takes the Kindle everywhere.

    A friend had purchased this Kindle and I was really impressed with the ease of use and how easy it was to borrow books from the library and read it on this Kindle. It was easy on the eyes and quite handy to hold and transport.

    Very satisfied with the Kindle Paperwhite reader. The single issue I have is that I would like to have the capability to do reverse contrast. Not a deal breaker for me thought.

    I wanted to upgrade my 3rd gen kindle keyboard to one with a backlight. The paper white is a great device to read on. The backlight and improved screen resolution make a big difference. There's a few software features I'd like Amazon to add but nothing that inhibits me from using the kindle. If you've been thinking of upgrading or jumping into the kindle for the first time, I'd highly recommend the paper white.

    This device has met my expectations. I read the other reviews and just had to give it a try. The display is easy on the eyes, noticeably more so than a regular tablet. It's lightweight and fits easily in my purse. No complaints here. :)
