    I got this for my Maui vacation, download ebook from local library and read it under sunshine in the beach. Great reading device under bright sun. Very user friendly device and highly recommend it

    My first kindle paperwhite lasted several years, and I used it a lot! When it quit, I immediately went to Best Buy and purchased another one. After only about five weeks, my new kindle stopped working. I could no longer turn the page again, just like my old one. I went back to Best Buy and they exchanged it for a new one. If it had been just about another week, they would not have exchanged it. I thought the Kindle was a great product, but was disappointed that it had quit again. This time, I bought the insurance plan. Best Buy treated me great. There was never an issue whether they would replace it or give me a refund. Even though I did not have my original receipt, only had my charge card bill, there was not a problem.

    Hands down the best. I had a nook for years and rarely used it. I have already read 5 different books on the kindle and it's a much smoother experience.

    This E-Reader does fantastically well when you're looking for a device that doesn't glare in the sun. The battery life is amazing. The only complaint I have would be the sluggishness of the operating system. It's by no means quick but if you read quite a bit it's worth the patience. Having the ability to send pdf files to the device is also very helpful.

    Consistent with all the reviews this is a great product. No downside if you are anywhere of the mindset to use this type of device. Have a IPad mini and phone with the Kindle app but this is so much better

    Love the paperwhite! It allows me to read at night without having a light on and disturbing another person. It’s easy to use and a perfect way to store hundreds of books in a small space :)

    Didn't know how much I would like this but after trying to read on my tablet outside I decided to give this a shot. Love it, I can read in the sunlight or at night no problem, and the battery life is great

    Two improvements needed. Better browser, it is awkward to use to connect to library. Also want to see black background with white lettering for night reading

    How to do - not easy to find. Needs quick cheat sheet to accompany the product. I didn't think I'd like the back light but I do. I don't have a computer so it's hard to go on line. I'm not sure if I like how the books are arranged, but I'm slowly learning how to navigate around them. I had one of the original Kindles so changes are sometimes hard for us older people.

    I enjoy this reader due to its large storage capacity for my growing library and the ability to navigate to a given location in no time flat. The bright but adjustable lighting is very welcome as well.

    I put off buying a Kindle for years because I wanted to read outside at the pool. The Kindle is so easy to read and use. Our public library has tons of ebooks to borrow. Sorry I waited so long.

    Great way to kill time at the pool waiting for your tan to cook. Is easy to read in the brightest sun. Would like to have better search engine for new titles.

    Kindle Paperwhite is great for reading any time, day or night (without needing a light!)... and any where, beach, bed, airplanes. So much more convenient, i.e. better, than carrying a book, or several books!
