Customer Ratings & Reviews

If you are an avid reader, then this is a must have.

I love my new Kindle Paperwhite! The main reason for the purchase so I could read at night in bed without having a light on. This accomplishes that wonderfully. Would recommend to others.

The lighting makes this kindle the best I 've seen.

This Kindle is so easy to use and the screen is very easy on the eyes!

If you like to read or want to get back into reading this is the best way to do it. On top of that if you're traveling this is the best way to do it instead of carrying mutiple books.

The compact size and screen image make this a great reader for traveling and sitting poolside - anywhere really! Love that I can sit in the sun or shade and be able to see the text.

The point of a kindle is to read it like a paper print and this product achieves that. I considered the higher level products but settled on this as the best value option. The product met expectation.

We bought this as a gift for my 85 year old mother-in-law. She enjoys reading, but needed to magnify the text in order to read easily. The Kindle is simple enough for her to use and she is enjoying it.

it's very useful and comfortable! I like it so much.

Great product.....................................

Love this little reader. I can read while my husband drives. It's size makes it perfect for a purse, reading by the water or pretty much anywhere. Very clear and good on the eyes.

My wife reads a lot and thought this would be a good gift. Being a Prime member as well as her signing up for Unlimited she can be reading something anytime which gives me time to play video games!

This was the perfect gift for my mom and she loves it so much. She reads like crazy and this does not hurt her eyes like other devices. Great product and recommended for anyone who reads at all!

Purchased a replacement Kindle for my Father in Law

Was given a Kindle from Best-Buy stock.... it was white but from the package labeling you can't tell the color and return it. Got the BLACK KINDLE... college student son loves it for all the class reading he has to do..... connects to college wifi seamlessly and downloads the syllabus and assigned readings. Easy to carry and read indoors or outdoors.

I love the fact, I can read in bed at night, and the backlight is adjustable so it does not bother my husband sleeping. Only negative is it takes a few longer seconds then I would like to power off.

I don't know why it was so much more expensive than the Fire HD.... considering this only does books. But, it's exactly what I wanted. It's very nice to have the backlight for reading at night.

we were happy to purchase this for a family member who is an avid reader. the paper white was easy to use, previous purchases were easily accessed, and it has been thoroughly enjoyed.

It works great specially whit the new ligth frature

Let me set the stage for this review: I joined a book club this year and have started reading a lot... or at least what I would consider to be a lot, which is about 2 decently-long books a month. Up until buying the Paperwhite, I was doing most of my reading on my iPhone using the Kindle app. Long story short, I ended up returning the Paperwhite after about 2 weeks. Why? Because I realized just how sporadic my reading was. I read when I'm out and about, waiting at a doctor's office, or in-line at a restaurant, etc. It became overwhelmingly apparent to me that the best E-Reader is the one you have with you at all times. For me, that's my iPhone. The actual reading experience is definitely better on the Paperwhite. However, if you're an "on-the-go" reader like me, then it just means you have to carry around another device. Dedicated E-Readers are for people who either truly read a ton, or have a set routine for reading. If that's not you, then stick with your phone.
