    My wife absolutely loves this thing! Get at least this level (or above) as it has the backlight. The backlight allows for it to be used anywhere at night - in bed, while watching tv in the dark....

    Purchased this as a Christmas gift for my husband. He loves the backlight feature and uses this frequently during his travels. Nice improvement over the original.

    I purchased a new Kindle only because I stepped on my original (which was the first generation Kindle) and broke it. I love my new one, particularly the lighting and size of the unit. Thank goodness I broke my first!

    Nice Little Device

    This paperwhite has a sharp display (300 ppi) and adjustable brightness levels. It is extremely easy to hold when reading. Included in the box was the Paperwhite device, a USB cord, and quick start guide. No power adapter was supplied but I use the one for my cellphone and it works fine. One charge holds me for about 3-4 weeks. The ads are not as intrusive as I thought they would be however I am displeased with the quality of the "special offers." I have found better offers just by searching the web. Also you cannot listen to audible books on this device. It is reading only but that doesn't bother me. Overall this is an excellent device. Since purchasing this I have quadrupled the number of books that I read in a month's time. I highly recommend it to any avid reader.

    I think it should be a little bigger. Closer in size to a typical paperback. It’s light and you can read fine but your swiping to change pages often

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    There are cheaper Kindles and (considerably) more expensive ones, but this model hits the sweet spot. It has sufficiently high resolution to make reading comfortable, a good backlight, and is comfortable in the hand.

    This is my second Kindle reader. My first one wasn't back lite. I love that I can read outside in the sunshine or in bed with no light on. It is a great item if you like to read. I haven't bought an actual book in years!
