    This kindle is perfect for reading on the go. I love how it will look up the definitions for words you don't know and highlight sentences you want to remember. It reads really well inn the sun, no glare unlike tablets. Only down side is the fact that its inn black and white and that it's response time is a little slow.

    I'd been using my phone as my e-reader but have wanted to get a stand-alone reader for a while. The screen on this is amazing and the light is a great addition. If you're on the fence- go for it.

    I can read on a number of devices that will also give me plenty of distractions. This is my solution to convenient reading on the go because that's all you can do with it.

    I had an older Kindle Paperwhite. Went to visit family & forgot to bring it. Purchased this new one. I love it. My husband is now using my old one. I won't go anywhere without my Kindle.

    I have a Kindle Voyage and wanted another reader because I read a lot. I decided for the Paperwhite as it's just a tiny bit heavier than the Voyage but just as good. I highly recommended it.

    I left my old kindle on an airplane and had to purchase a new one. This one is much easier to use. The controls are more intuitive and loading books from my library in the cloud is so easy now!

    Paperwhite is a great eReader. Thin and light, high resolution display. Battery life is very long. Nostalgic for paper books sometimes, but eBooks on a Paperwhite can't be topped.

    I bought this so that I could read in the bedroom without waking my infant, and without bright lights shining right in my eyes. I'm so glad I bought it! And the battery life is amazing!
