    The paperwhite has the built-in light which makes it extremely convenient to read at night. It is also lighter than the original kindle

    I have been using Kindle for several years now but my old one was starting to freeze and had problems connecting to the internet sometimes. This new one is a great replacement. I like that it is backlit and that it syncs to the latest page read with the Kindle app on my iphone. Great purchase.

    The closest to reading off real paper books in my opinion. Also the light is easy on the eyes in the dark, so you can read much loger

    I have owned several Kindles over the years and love the Paperwhite version the most. I purchased this one as a gift to my best friend. I highly recommend a case so one does not encounter an unfortunate accident as I did when I dropped my Paperwhite 3G off the nightstand. lol. Although mine was older and the warranty had expired, Amazon was amazing in discounting a replacement I bought from them. My only future wish is to have the option to change the display to sepia or even just a version that is only sepia.

    Wasn't sure I would like the smaller size but after using it a year I find the compact size is great to carry in my purse. I love it.

    Love this kindle. I know it's been out for few years, but still delivers its job - to make me read again -. The battery last long, so I wont have to charge all the time. Rich in features and the screen is high resolution. Adds still included in the base model, but it's OK.

    Love that I can read this at night, with the lights off, or have it tucked (snugly) in my jacket pocket on the go. Wonderful device with great battery life.
