    A Kindle is must if you are a book reader. The bult in backlight does not cause any uncomfortable glare if you try reading in dark. Looks even better in day light

    Bought as a birthday present for my GF. She uses it daily, and loves it. Easy to use, and convenient for those who are afraid to go full touch screen(they prefer buttons).

    This is my second kindle. It is definitely a significant upgrade. It has great resolution and the non glare for use outside it great . The smaller size is much better.

    The paperwhite kindle is the best option for someone who is just looking for a kindle to read on and download books. Would not have chosen a different one at all.

    Bought this for my 78 year old mother who had recently broken her wrist. She absolutely loves it! She is reading all the time. Light enough she can hold it with one hand.

    My second Kindle. I've also owned a Nook. Both are good but the Kindles screen is a little better. I also like the case available for it much better than the Nook's.

    Having a Kindle is awesome. It makes it very easy to read and I gobbled up over 800 pages before I had to charge it for the first time since I got it. Great purchase!
