    I traded in an older Amazon Kindle eReader for the newer model. This is so easy on the eyes! Great for reading indoor or outdoor. I would highly recommend this eReader.

    I like the paper white for reading because it doesn't have the glare like all the tablets with color and it makes reading feel like you are reading from a paper book without all the weight

    This was a gift because I love mine. I never thought I would like a digital reader, but I love it! It’s great to use in full sunlight, complete darkness, or anything in between.

    Best electronic reader. The base kindle is hard to read because the lack of light and the other readers and apps just don't offer the quality experience and feel of the kindle paperwhite.

    My sales person was excellent. She knew the product and was able to answer all of my questions. I bought a kindle paperwhite. I had the geek squad to synk it to my laptop. "I love those guys"

    This was purchased to replace my 3rd gen Kindle Keyboard. The backlight is a great feature and even though I miss having page turn buttons, it was worth the cost savings to forego them.

    I like the reduced size, the touchscreen and the built-in light of Kindle peperwhite. But I used to have a Kindle 2nd edition device, which supported background music and audible content.

    bought this for my mom for her birthday! Was exactly what she wanted, loves the readability of the matte screen. Great for the price; and a must for any beach reader.

    It's my second Kindle but it didn't come with any instructions so it's taking a little while to figure out. The back lighting is great.

    I just purchased this Kindle to replace my first generation kindle. I am so happy with my purchase. It is much easier to use, read, hold and charge. It is a worthwhile investment!

    I wanted to have something that I could use outside and not get a reflection or eyestrain from. I found the set-up a little clunky but overall I am very satisfied with the Paperwhite.

    I upgraded to the paperwhite after my very old Kindle died. I like the paperwhite screen. I hate that the pop up adds and recommendations have absolutely no connection to my reading history. It's very different from earlier Kindles so I'm still learning features. I can't understand why the paperwhite costs 2-3 times what the Kindle Fire costs.

    I really like the Paperwhite, it made me want to read books on my Kindle again. Try it if you hate it, return it, but get your hands on this for a while, and I'm convinced you will keep it.
