    I've had a Kindle Keyboard 3G for years but picked this up for the backlight feature. It's just as good as expected from a Kindle device and I don't miss the physical keyboard at all.

    I have one of the very early versions of the Kindle and the Kindle Paper-White is so much more compact. That makes it really great for travel. I also love the self-recharging capability.

    I love my kindle, the paperwhite is great for reading outside because you don't get a reflection back like you do with other types of kindles. The white color is a nice change.

    Was tired of using my iPad as my sole reader. Decided to go back to Kindle. This is by far the best Amazon has done in the Kindle arena yet. Simplistic, sleek & no more eye strain.

    The paperwhite is great, however, the touch seems a bit too light. Keeps changing pages, etc. with the lightest touch

    Urging to read a new book, when the one which you brought along on vacation is complete or tired of the one you are reading and don't have any other option to choose from? Now you have a solution in your hands, Amazon Kindle. This small 6" bundle of joy for book readers is an amazing tech toy. You can browse through millions of books available in all languages and have a plethora of options at your fingertip. No need o carry a load of books while traveling, it reduces a lot of luggage you would have carried earlier. It has options for low light and sunlight read. brightness can be adjusted as per preference and surround light. No need to open the dictionary to find the meaning of the new word you found out. It has an inbuilt dictionary at he disposal and also can highlight and make note of favorite paragraphs/dialogue/line etc while reading. The best part is you would not be distracted to check emails or any social networking sites, unlike your tablet or phone. It is a pure e-book reader which solves your only purpose. just go for it, give it a try and you won't regret it!!

    Kindle paperwhite comes with back light so it can be reader without enough light source. Since it uses e-ink, it can be read under bright light. Moreover, it is not costly at all.
