    I read every day on the train to work; really helps me utilize that little pocket of time I'd previously been throwing away. Battery lasts forever!

    I read reviews on each Kindle device and chose the paperwhite. It fits easily in my purse. I only wanted it to read books and did not need a device for other functions.

    Very good buy at this price range. Paper back gives you a feel that you are reading from a paper. Worth the money spent.

    This is the kindle to buy. Great resolution and a backlight is great. The higher end Kindle's don't justify the price difference. Use it all time time and love it.

    This is the e-reader you want to get if you want to avoid distractions such as any other apps being installed. Just get your books, and go find a tree somewhere.

    Upgraded my kindle. I wanted to have the internal light for the screen. The purple kindle cover fits perfectly and ensures for safe transportation. I was able to easily upload all my books from my older kindle to re-read. Now I can enjoy my kindle at night without bothering anyone with the lights on!!

    Had the old kindle that had no backlight and was not a touch screen. This one is so much better. More user friendly and the back light is great.
