    Had glitches and screen-touch sensitivity issues with the previous kindle ( the basic kindle) however, this is definitely worth the cost for an upgrade above it. Very user friendly and hassle free.

    I am a bookworm. So this little device is a treasure trove for me. I now carry a veritable library with me at almost all times. Tales and adventures never more than a flip and a swipe away.

    Is easy to use, great to look up words you don´t know as you go along. It´s also great that the light isn´t shone up into your eyes, it makes it so that they don´t get easily tired and they don´t hurt.

    I'm very glad having this with me. In my country there are lots of books in Spanish that I'm not able to get. So this was perfect solution. It's incredible how similar to paper is. Battery super long!

    I love my new Paperwhite and it's reinvigorated my desire to read. The built-in backlight makes it so you can read in any condition. This is the best Kindle if you want bang for your buck.

    Needed something I could use in the sunlight and without too much glare in the dark. This unit fulfills both needs and it's easier on the eyes than the standard tablet.

    I got the paperwhite as a replacement for my 1st generation Kindle. It has great features, but is still easy to use. I like that it is not backlit like a tablet, making it much easier on your eyes.

    I used a Kindle many years ago but didn't like the size or the weight or the lack of backlight. This solves all those problems. I find the screen is a little small for my vision. When I increase the font size t I need to turn the kindle page more times than a book page. But that's me. Otherwise, it does well, turns the page smoothly and is easy to use.

    I can't say how happy I am with this purchase. No worries of lighting, or holding a book open. All my books stored in this kindle which opens up lots of space in my home. Easy & light to carry.

    I was hesitant since I also have a smart phone but it's well worth it. Love that it doesn't smudge or break as easily and is easy on my eyes even in the dark. Love the kindle share program

    Bought this as an upgrade from a really old Kindle. This one is much faster and smoother. Battery life is amazing. But . . . I still end up reaching for my tablet to read books more than the Kindle, just because I use it for so many other things. I'm just not sure there's really much of a use case for the Kindle anymore.
