    This is actually my second Kindle, as I left on a trip and forgot mine at home, and I didn't want to be without it! The paper white, wihich can be used outside in the glaring sun, makes it a huge winner for me!

    I have eBook readers on my iPad, but my Kindle is much more enjoyable to use for reading books. It's lighter weight and non glare screen make a big difference.

    My eyes are unaffected by the paperwhite and it truly feels like reading a real book. Love ability to download a new one on the fly and to highlight and get it all sent to my email after! Very impressed

    This was a gift for my elderly mother-in-law. She is thrilled with the fact that she can pull up any book she wants, at anytime, as she is an avid reader. It is also very easy for her to use, a BIG plus!

    Works great. Found it on the website and in the store easily. It was hard to switch to only WiFi but the new Kindle synced up to my account easily and I’m enjoying the backlight feature.

    I upgraded from an older, no-backlight Kindle and this one is much more comfortable to read. Overall a great value. The battery charge lasts forever and you can load it with enough to read for years.

    I haven't had it long but have found it very easy to use. I love the way you can read in darker areas as well as in bright sunlight. Downloads are easy to do. So happy I finally bought one.

    Small enough to fit into a small bag. Wonderful to use to pass the time when waiting for transportations and appointments and the paperwhite can be used in low level lighting. It is easy to use.

    This is my first Kindle and I LOVE It! I considered buying a cheap used one but I'm so glad I went with the Paperwhite! I read in the dark way more than I thought I did. Battery life is amazing!
